Review of 'Seduced by Power' by Kimberly Kinrade


BLURB:

Forbidden passions.
Deadly secrets.
A love that will stand against it all.

Their passions will destroy them.
Only true love will save them.


Find out why critics and fans are raving about the Seduced Saga. Heat, romance, mystery and poetic writing make the Seduced Saga an original new adult paranormal romance that you won't be able to put down!

In Seduced by Power, the final book in Rose's Trilogy, Rose and Derek face the greatest threat to their love, and lives, as they are forced to make painful choices to save those they love the most.

They give everything they have to end the battle against Rose's mother and retrieve that which was stolen from them. But will it be enough to save them?

**My thoughts**

I was chomping at the bit for this third installment to come out, especially after the second one ended in such a cliffhanger! And then Kimberly teased all of us by putting up just the first chapter. All we knew was that Rose's dark gift finally managed to take Derek away. ACK!

I ended up devouring the entire thing in less than an hour on a short car trip. I wanted no one to talk to me, so that I could concentrate on the final battles.

I will admit that like all final books in a trilogy, this one is my least favorite. I think this is because the climax hits in the second book, or at least in the very beginning of the third one, and the resolution comes rolling down like its on a steep embankment. (Think back to those charts you studied back in English class.) But the sheer NEED for that third book compels you to stick with it. I also tend to read the third book the fastest, to satisfy that need to know what happened.

This book is also the darkest of the three. It's less sexy. And that's okay. It's dealing with bigger issues than sex. And I think it is my favorite collection of Kimberly's that I have read to date.

So, now having read the entire trilogy, I guess you can say that Kimberly Kinrade completely seduced me with Rose and Derek's story. It does feel like it is just beginning. I look forward to reading the other stories that are coming out and hope to see these characters again!
