Like any other KA book I’ve read, I enjoyed this one. Did I go all crazy, gaga over it like I did for the others in this series? No and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Jagged was a fun read and I liked Ham and Zara and their story. I did not care for the nicknames Ham and Cookie. Graham was Graham to me and Zara was just Zara. Visiting Gnaw Bone and spending time with Nina and Max was great too. This book felt…quieter to me and it was less dramatic than the previous books. It was certainly shorter, like 200 pages less and we love a prolific KA don’t we? There was no high octane in your face drama to be found. For whatever reason it was different than the others… do we talk about the elephant in the room? I mean, change is good in a series right? Shifting gears and changing up the pace within a series is a good thing. Right? For me, the characters felt a bit over familiar but again… I do enjoy KA men. But I think I was expecting something a little different. This series, by its nature is intense and dramatic and this one didn’t completely check all of those boxes. Again, this is not a bad thing.

But wait! There is WALL SEX! And there is lots of excellent sexytimes, Zara and Ham (hubba hubba) are quite fantastic together.
