Review: The Temptation by Alisa Valdes

The Temptation The Temptation by Alisa Valdes
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Shane's life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Travis, a captivating cowboy who appears out of nowhere and saves her from a car accident. The instant connection between them is undeniable, and Shane begins to believe in the existence of soul mates. However, she soon learns that Travis is a spirit from the afterlife, and their love is governed by strict rules set by the Underworld. As they navigate their forbidden romance, they must resist the temptations that could jeopardize their souls. This captivating tale blends elements of love, the supernatural, and thrilling suspense, leaving readers yearning for the next installment in the Kindred trilogy.

Although I wanted to enjoy this book more, there were a few significant flaws that detracted from my overall experience. Firstly, the instant romance between the main characters felt contrived. Their immediate and intense love was later justified by the concept of being soulmates, but it came across as clichéd and lacking depth. Secondly, the characters seemed too perfect, while the villains were overly evil. This lack of nuance resulted in a predictable storyline without any surprising twists or shades of grey. I wanted more depth in the character development and plot.
