Rogue Descendant (Nikki Glass, #3)

by Jenna Black

3.5/5 Rating
This is the third book in the Nikki Glass series and for the most part, it's pretty good. We see some more character development and Nikki trying to learn her powers.

The book starts off slow, compared to the other two books but has an explosive ending. The end is what makes the book and I want to pick up the fourth book to find out what happens next.

We learn a little more about Anderson, which I love, since he's my favorite character. I also want to read the next book to find out more about him.

In this book we get more interaction with the Olympians and how they are run, especially with Konstantin's Son, Cyrus. He's an interesting character and I can't wait to see more of him, especially with how this book ended.

Nikki is still her strong self, except when it comes to Jamaal. I love her in any other scene, except when thinks or interacts with him. I don't know what it is, probably the hormones of her attraction to him, but her senses go out the window. I do wish she would listen to him and give him space, she can't change him, only he can (if he wants to.) They may be the same, like she claims, but that's no reason to become this hormonal bomb who has no control, when she's with him.

Besides that, I love any other scene she is in. She is starting to learn her powers with the short amount of time she's been an immortal.

The other thing she needs to learn, is to not treat the other descendants like they are human beings. She's always had a moral compass, which is good, but she is surprised far too often in this book when they do something heinous or selfish. I don't know how much time has past, but it has to be somewhere between 3-4 months since she's become an immortal. Which is not a lot of time, but she needs to start learning to not treat the descendants like they have human morals. I do think she learns that at the end of the book, but only time will tell if it sticks.

The ending is the best part of the book and now I'm off to go read the fourth book and see the fallout of what happened.

Overall, I was pleased with the book.
