THIS SERIES WASN'T FOR ME!

BELOW IS MY REVIEW FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES!

***THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS, BUT IT ALSO GIVES LIGHT TO THE TRUE SUBJECT OF THIS TRILOGY...I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT THIS TRILOGY WAS REALLY ABOUT BEFORE I STARTED IT...SO CONTINUE PAST THIS POINT WITH CAUTION!!****

A crazy town full of Satanists who want to rape and kill innocent people, the "Messiah" who happens to be killing machine and satanic "hippies" who conceive the child of the Devil...this trilogy wasn't for me!!

Breathless, Trembling & Tortured by V.J. Chambers missed the mark in my book. Breathless, the first in the trilogy, is the best of the three books (and that's not saying much). By the beginning of the second book in the series, Trembling, I desperately wanted to turn off my Kindle and be done with it, but I stuck it out until the end (partly because I am sort of OCD and I HATE to leave things unfinished). I wish I could say that after concluding this series everything came together and I saw the light, but that wasn't that case. Frankly, I didn't like what I read.

The biggest disappointment, in my opinion, was how misleading I found the book descriptions. I understand you don't want to give too much away, but based on these descriptions I expected: a love triangle, a mysterious bad boy, romance and suspense.  Don't get me wrong, this trilogy contains almost all of that, but it is more strongly based on Satanism, a secret society who have, literally, created the "Messiah" and parents who try to force their daughter (the reincarnation of the devil, of course) to participate in a satanic ritual.  During this ritual, she is expected to be raped and to commit murder. Oh, those parents I mentioned ...yeah, those same parents are foster parents who have taken in numerous children over the years. What a horrible message!

I gave the Jason & Azazel trilogy 1 STAR. I think some people might get a kick out of this story; I was not one of them. If after reading my review you are still interested in this trilogy then I highly recommend you read it, but if my review created any doubt for you then I wouldn't think twice about reading this series.

I typically enjoy this author, but this series was a chore to read for 5 basic reasons.  1) The hodge podge mix of mythology, mystical, religion, fantasy and the paranormal was a bit of a mess. Because of the amount of explaining of the hows and whys and histories of the beings, there wasn't much space left for character development.  Relationships weren't explored, there was very little character growth, if any, and personalities flip flopped based on who they were with or what place influenced their minds.  2) Add in new characters every few chapters who are even newer characters in disguise from new species that needed explaining of how their existence came into being and it was difficult to keep it all straight (How many characters can there be in one book that all have names that start with the letter A!?) 3) The first 70% of the book is from one point of view, then out of nowhere the chapters switch to different characters' points of view.  It didn't have a smooth transition and the internal voices were all similar.  4) The book blurb lends itself to being an action/paranormal/romance, but the only true delivery was a collection of action scenes, even if some of those were seemingly random.  [possible spoiler] 5) Personal preference here, but another turn off for this series is the fact that this book has a relationship cliffhanger with a love triangle.  Love triangles and cliff hangers are not my thing.  Like I said, I enjoy her contemporary romance and her paranormal series The Dark Ones, but this series is going to have to be a miss for me.

I just couldn't get into this book, but I'm glad I didn't stop reading the series based on this title.  The middle books of Moning's Highlander series are just plain incredible.

This series had me completely frustrated with all the characters. :-) if you like the angsty, are you kidding me stories.... this series is it.  There were a couple of times I thought "come on, really".  The story is well written,  it is just not quite my style. Made me too frustrates :-)

I received this book on arc. I lived the first two books but this one just wasn't for me. It wasn't bad and had a good story just wasn't my cup of tea. But will still keep up with the series!

Too much violence for me. It lacked  the sense of humor the TV show has so I don't think this is my Kind of series

I couldn't get into this series, not at all. It's not to say that it isn't a good read, but I think I may have fallen victim to beforehand reading Fifty Shades and a couple of others who wanted a comparison. This would have been a very good series, had I not become so burned out on the whole sexy beast of a man taking control over a woman in the bedroom.

Since I enjoyed another series by this author I was eager to start reading another one. I could not get into this story no matter how hard I tried. The heroine for one, annoying, and couldn't seem to decide on being fearless or a waif. I did like the witty banter between the main character and her engineer Mica.. There also seemed to be too much action throughout this short book that didn't give me enough information to feel like I was getting to know the characters. I wasn't sure who to root for and couldn't  have cared less if anyone of them died.

I love this series but this book was a miss for me. It had a lot of drag and the action/angst just wasn't felt. It was by no means horrible, just not my favorite.

I really tried to finish the complete set but just couldn't.  The story lines were okay but I didn't get attached to any of the characters.  For me, the dialog didn't flow.  Maybe it's a regional thing - Taylor Lee maybe from the mid-west and I'm a California girl, but some the phrases used in the book made me laugh - they were a little corney.  I can usually overlook dialog if I really like the characters which I really didn't in this series.  I can't believe anyone - man or women - would tolerate Nate.  I understand cocky, but he takes it to a new level that I just couldn't take.

I hate to say it but I would not recommend this series.  I didn't want to write a bad review, but I think it's important that potential readers hear it all.  So I'm sorry, but that's just the way I feel.

I could not get into this series.  The relationships between the two heros was just not comfortable.

I love the Whiskey series and the JJ series from Liliana, but these really didn't do it for me. I started rolling my eyes every time someone "saw dark spots" swimming in front of their eyes. I was really bored with the inexperienced women who were all scared to fall in love but immediately do. I was a little tired of the men all instantly sensing that they found their soul mate. It was something to read  until I figured out that her JJ series was good and would hold me off until the new release of the Whiskey series (whiskey tango foxtrot). I made the mistake of reading the Cade book in this series before I read this one. It was good, but these fell short.

Not my favorite in the series. Way too many characters to keep straight and none were fully developed so I found myself having to stop and think about who each person was as they were mentioned. Not a good way to keep a reader engrossed in the storyline!

I cannot believe I have wasted hours of my life reading this series - I blame my need to know the ending before being able to move on to other things even when it is terrible. I am pretty easy going when it comes to romance novels - I can accept the knight in shining armor to the messed up alpha male. However, what made this series absolutely terrible is the female lead, Lexi. She cannot make up her mind, she has no spine, and by the end of it I was not wishing for a happy ending for her. The author's style of weaving present with past was done well to bring the story together however it also highlighted how Lexi keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over AND doesn't seem to learn from them. Then just as you think she's grown and matured because of the experiences and relationships shes had, she will make another mis-step that just makes me mad. Save your money for a different series.

This is a LONG and drawn out series. Once I start a series I aim to finish them and hope to be so engrossed in them that I binge read! But this one was just toooooo over the top. I know books are suppose to feed into fantasy and mystery but as you get deeper and deeper into the series she takes it too far in my opinion. Accounts of past events by the characters begin to conflict or change, storylines are contradicted and the drama becomes so annoying. By book 3 I was fighting to stay interested because the work is not that small for the things that have been happening and she made toooooo many of her characters the bad guys and psychos. This series is what happens when you try too hard to deliver the typical urban book formula in a new way.

This series should have all the element for a good read but I gave this a chance even though I didn't care much for the first book.  I found the annoying characters too over the top and story just too far out and not enjoyable to try and follow.

This series was decent enough but it didn't do much for me. Carrie is beautiful young woman with a magnificent heart. Finn is a good man who just wants to be the best he can for Carrie. I was all good with the series until book 3. Fin is going through issues recovering from his injuries, nightmares & survivors guilt from the ambush. His dad is sick & dies on,y making things worse. The writing was in the wall that Finn & Carrie's relationship would suffer. I began to skip thru the book as I didn't really want to delve into that or the attempt by Carrie to move on with her life. While I figured the two would get their HEA, once my MCs have hooked up I don't condone ANY attempts to start up other relationships.
