Impressed
After reading the negative reviews including the one saying the MC went all weak and his girl bosses him around etc along those lines. I was definitely concerned. However after finishing this book I am still not sure what that person was talking about. Maybe they were listening to a different book and messed up with the review. I was rather impressed not only with the progression of each character the story and the expectation of the future books. I listen to a lot of books. I’ve got over 100 in my library and I’ve completed them all. I don’t always write reviews I will rate them as long as I like them. This was solid.

Oh how foolish I was to buy this after the last book. I couldn't even finish it I had to return it because it was so bad. I can't take this pussy crazy honey pot MC following around and can't go anywhere without his controller girlfriend. This is too much bull for one book, I'm out.

great addition to the series
admittedly I'm more of a fan of codename freedom but this series has grown on me. if you liked the past couple then you won't be disappointed by this one and if you are looking at this one to decide about the series as a while then I'd recommend it even if it isn't typically the style you enjoy.

This book is bad now:(
Really disappointing that the author decide to put all his attention on the abuse and control freak girlfriend and keep talking about how they are just as good as the mc. This genuinely should have been a diffrent series following the girlfriends exploitation and eventual descent into become the villian. That would have made a good story and taught the mc a lesson about trusting others instead she is incompetent and is the overall cause of the defeat at the end of this book. Apparently the next book vampire gate does not have her or even the human cattle in so i will get that one. But I will not be buying anymore books from this author where the other humans are anything more than a 5 min sidenote in the last chapter. They are simply a waste of space that are actively detrimental to the mc growth and he should be killing them not helping them weaken him
