Loading ...Let Sleeping Demons Lie by Maree Anderson
Brennan’s animal nature takes over when he smells a lioness in heat. In the Lycan Realm, the first male to reach her has the right to claim her. He intends to be that male. What he finds isn’t what he expects. It’s not the fact she’s in human form; he has no problem pleasing her in whatever manner she prefers. No, it’s something deeper, something he can’t quite pinpoint.
When the woman wakes up, he’s even more convinced something isn’t right. She has no knowledge of whom she is, where she is, or what fate awaited her had a lion less in control of himself found her. The pair embarks on a journey full of passion, pain, and discovery that leads to a traitor in their midst and a disturbing secret that may tear them apart.
Anytime I find myself waffling on a book rating, I pretend I’m watching Russell Crowe, wearing the latest in Gladiator fashion, brandishing a weapon as he screams, “Are you not entertained?” What happens next stays between me and Russ, but the intended outcome is simple: if the story entertained me, I give it a higher rating, copy-editing errors be damned.
My initial hesitation in bestowing 4 tombstones (rather than the original 3.5 tombstones) lied in the slightly disturbing character known as Cass. She added the right amount of evilness to the story, but her depravity almost went too far. I could have gone without the last scene she was in. It didn’t seem it was necessary—she could have been defeated in a less disturbing manner. The scene didn’t ruin the story for me, just left a nasty taste in my mouth. Then again, that was likely the intention.
Overall, I was thoroughly entertained by Let Sleeping Demons Lie by Maree Anderson. Her writing style is informal and hilarious, including much Valley Girl verbiage. Hearing a lion shapeshifter talk of his utter awesomeness is, well, awesome. I love it. Naamah and Brennan fit together, physically and mentally. Their interactions are sweet, if not bizarre, and I instantly liked them.
