Less Than Expected

Dragonbane (Dark-Hunter Novels) - Sherrilyn Kenyon

2.5 (audiobook) I am struggling to say something about this book in the series. I was really excited to read the dragon book, and boy was I disappointed. I love this series each book has it's own fire and spice this one just felt unseasoned. I was never on the edge of my seat with anticipation, never got that tingle in my toes at the smexy bits and I didn't develop any cares about the main characters. I could have quit reading (listening) to it at any point, I just didn't care. There was something missing, the emotional build up, the sense of urgency, or the fear of the bad, it wasn't there for me. It was duller than watching TV, and more predictable.
I will continue the series, I committed to this story line but I hope that the author puts the lojo back in her characters for the next one.
Note: the narrator was dong great except when they read the mother/older woman part AUUGGH how awful ! Fingernails on the chalkboard.
