People are contradictory, contradictory beings. That's what I learnt from this book. Which is perhaps why I'm overmarking this book, because the last time I read a Tillie Cole book (the first Hades Hangmen, I believe), I gave it 1 or 2 stars. Why? Misogynistic lead. Women not being treated right. The overuse of swearing. I wasn't a fan. 
 So what does goodreads do? 
 It recommends me more Tillie Cole books a month later. 
 I was bemused. Perplexed. Curious? 
 So I decided to click on Raze, and was relieved there was no bikers in this. I understand the whole "biker scene" is all about degrading women, swearing, and misogyny...it just comes part of the deal. Maybe not all biker books are like this, it's just their culture...alongside drugs, bikes and petty crime. 
 Raze involves the Russian Mafia, and there IS a possessive a-hole in this - but good news! He was the villain! He was not meant to be the hero! The real hero, was a total gent when he's not fighting for his life, though managed to keep his Alpha characteristics too. I was so, so pleasantly surprised. So Mrs Cole doesn't all write the same kind of lead then. That's nice! I can actually try out more of her books! And just bail, if I don't like it. 
 The only minor criticisms I have of this book, is the deus es machina prevalent in this book. Namely Raze remembering his forgotten memories almost on cue, when others prompted him. Real life doesn't necessarily work like that. But it wasn't so severe for me to dock a point. 
 Yay! 
 PS: I'm not a big fan of people describing a woman's womb as a CHANNEL. Whenever I see that word, I'm thinking the Eurostar tunnel. Something big enough, for a freight train to shoot through. I'm thinking of the British Channel, again a big body of water separating two countries. Basically, I'm thinking of tunnels and big oceans when I see that word, and it should never be used to describe a woman's private parts. EVER
