Duke of Midnight

I'm finished, but I'm still kind of thinking about how to rate this. The heroine, she gets all the stars. And as Melody said, the nickname annoyed me. The hero...him, I don't know what to give him. He's obsessed, but with his own legacy. He's uncompromising on that. He's also upfront about that, and kind of a selfish asshole, and TBH, I kind of like myself a selfish asshole. He could be needlessly cruel, and unexpectedly demonstrative. He was definitely flawed, and I still can't tell if I love or hate him.

I'd like to add, there are as many references made to Artemis's name as there are references to the oak tree in Hot in Hellcat Canyon series (WAY TOO MANY). I thought the barefoot goddess in the woods with special powers over dogs was cute, but pointing out all the ways in which Artemis was so like her namesake became overdone.

Man, I'm not up for a great review-so let's leave it at this: Artemis: amazing. I'm still not sure despite his Batman backstory coupled with his Gordon-like relationship with Trevillion that Maximus won me over, but I honestly don't think it mattered. Their story was incredibly compelling to me. I am not sure I liked how quickly the big obstacle ironed itself out, yet other than that, I could go back and reread this any time. Bah-4 then.
