Review: Resurrection Reprise by Hailey Turner
SYNOPSIS:
Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
Spencer Bailey has spent his entire life under government oversight for something he can’t change: his magic’s affinity for breaking souls. After surviving the end of the world, Spencer joins the Supernatural Operations Agency with the intention of keeping his head down and his hands clean.
Tasked with tracking down a stolen artifact, Spencer wants to run his first case with the SOA by the book. The master vampire of the Seattle Night Court won’t make that easy. Takoma is demanding and possessive, used to getting what he wants, and he lures Spencer into his Night Court with the seductive promise of freedom.
In the Pacific Northwest, ghosts are crawling out of the woodwork, demons are on the rise, and Spencer can’t afford to make a mistake. Torn between the life he should lead and the one Takoma is offering, Spencer has to make a choice that won’t break his soul, but it might just shatter his heart.
REVIEW:
I am probably Spencer Bailey’s number one fan, I have been fangirling him since his appearance in the Soulbound Series. I was thrilled to see he was getting his own story and while I held out hope it might be with Lucien, I quickly learned that Takoma was the new focus. As the story concluded I didn’t love it but I also didn’t hate it, I am feeling lukewarm towards the whole thing.
I think there was a lack of chemistry and depth between Spencer and Takoma. The only saving grace is we know Spencer is lusting after vampires and Takoma is no exception. So I knew what to expect from Spencer but where Lucien rubbed me the right way, Takoma rubbed me the wrong. He was just so controlling, bossy, rude, pushy, and not in an attractive alpha male type of way but in a the world owes me this type of way. I just didn’t really care for him much as a character.
Overall, I liked the story line, the drama, the action and the appearances from Nadine, Patrick, and Wade. I also liked that Fatima and Wade constantly called Spencer out, it had me laughing out loud several times. The plot is action packed and it definitely threw a few curve balls but the Spencer and Takoma insta-love had left something to be desired.
