The Rakess surprised me, it had an unexpected premise yes but more importantly this one dealt with a more in depth character development. Sera's especially since her personality and struggles unfolds gradually and you as readers infer what her problems really are and how it plays into her behaviour. It really is Sera's book more than a romance but Adam is no easy character as well. In many ways the role reversal here is obvious on hindsight but while the romance is unfolding you feel the struggle of both these characters and their eventual unconventional HEA. I adore it and I feel that The Rakess would be one of those romance that would stick with me for quite a long time. The prose is quite lyrical, the characters wonderfully nuanced and the love story is memorable.
