Vampire Mine (Alpha and Omega, #3) - Aline Hunter I hate to do this, but I am just so disappointed in this book! The beginning was promising, but I wasn't exactly following the intensity of the story...I felt like I was missing something, because I remember being SO INTO Trey and Sadie's story during the last two books. And I kept waiting for it to happen here, but it just never came. I mean...the excitement never came. Sadie and Trey came multiple times, and just as Aline Hunter does in every book, her sex scenes were amazing and so, so hot. But that was about it.~~First off...the plot. What was the plot again? I'm pretty sure the entire book was simply about Trey and Sadie accepting each other, and the pack accepting them as well. That's it. Aldon, the "villain", plays such a little part in this story...and I'm not even sure he's actually a villain. Was he just thrown in for some action? Because he didn't actually DO anything. Nothing at all. Except be present to cause a fuss for a blip. The only people that did anything were actually pretty stagnant characters as well. The pack...you know, those people who join together against the rest of the world for protection and brotherhood? Yeah, they didn't do that. They all ganged up on Trey, including Diskant and Ava, the city's Omega. What the hell was that all about? What a downer! No one has their back! When Sadie gets hurt and Trey says that he's done, he's leaving...I was rooting for him all the way. I'd have said "F*** you very much, we're out."~~Second...the villain. Oh, yeah...I already went there. What villain?~~Third...the world building and scene setup. It seems the world building is over for the series. There are vamps, all kinds of shape shifters, some magic...DONE. The scenes and description were almost nonexistent as well. Most of the story is spent in two different locations...both houses. That's enough of the setup there, as well, I guess. House. DONE.What I felt got a lot of attention was the couples that I'm assuming will get to star in future books. Much like this couple had a lot of face time in the first two books, there are three (possibly four) couples that have some really interesting stories going on. In fact, I'd like to read their stories right now. But the fact that they got so much face time meant that Trey and Sadie got cheated. And Leigh...PLEASE tell me this chick is going to change before she gets a story. Nathan deserves better than a twelve year old whiny girl.Boy, I sound bitter, don't I? I just anticipated this book so much, and I feel so bummed now. Honestly, I had to go back to Enemy Mine and read Sadie and Trey's parts over again to try to capture what it was I was so stoked about. Because I just never felt it in this book. And yeah, after going back, I got a little more into the story. But then the plot unfocused onto all of the secondary characters and I lost it again. The only time that this couple ever really connects is during sex...where does the love come from? They don't even know each other.I'm sorry.I'm rambling.I honestly think that had the author kept Sadie and Trey's story in ONE book, with maybe a little intro used as a plot setup in previous books, that this book would have packed more of a punch. But the exciting parts of their relationship were used up before we ever got their book. Suffice it to say, I was very, very underwhelmed.
