What I Liked:
I liked how Blade was determined to find the woman impregnated against her will, with his child, and his determination to protect her from further harm despite having been held captive and abused himself for a long time by humans.
What I Didn't Like:
I know it's a frequent complaint of mine with novellas - and it's really hard to get the balance right - but this felt incredibly rushed.
It was a perfect example of a story with so much promise lacking depth due to the constraints of the word count.

Other Thoughts:
All in all, I enjoyed Blade, it was a great little book for inhaling in a couple of hours and it kept me entertained but sadly I probably won't remember it a year from now.
However, I'd not be opposed to reading other books in this series as the world - what we saw of it anyway! - had potential and the writing was pretty good.

So is this 1001 Nights a series? I always thought it was an anthology O_o. I'm going to have to look it up.

This book is part of the Bayou Heat series.
Delete1001 Nights is a... I don't know! lol. They all have the same introduction, they are all novellas but each story within the 1001 Nights 'theme' belongs to different authors / series. It's weird and if I had to guess, I'd say it's just a marketing thing to expose readers of many different kinds of books to new different authors & genres.
Novellas... I feel your pain but love them for the quick reads.
