(Dis)content (Judgement of the Six #5) by Melissa Haag

Blurb: I hate. I thought I hated before the letter, before the werewolves, but now I understand that was nothing more than a chip on my shoulder. The urbat took what was mine. They will pay.

Isabelle leads a very normal life…for an emotional syphon. If not for Ethan and his bar, she would have lost her sanity long ago. But everything changes with the crash of her fighting cage and a man who transforms into a wolf. There’s something about Carlos—when he’s not growling at her—that makes her do things she wouldn’t normally do, like sigh and daydream.

Attraction aside, she is faced with the very real evidence that werewolves and urbat exist, and the urbat are after her. And the only way she can keep Ethan safe is to join with the werewolves and Carlos. It’s a race against time to stop a war, fight for love, and find the last Judgement.

5 Stars

This is my second favorite book in the series. I really like the wrench the author threw in to this one.  When the werewolves find her they realize she is not alone, she has a someone with her. And he is very special to her.  I like Ethan…a lot.  He is caring and he knew what she needed.  He didn’t let her feel sorry for herself when she accidentally hurt him or someone else.  He pushed her, and I wanted her to be with Ethan because I like to rage against the machine.

Her power was very interesting to me because of how she couldn’t control it and how she had to get the others emotions out of her body.  I really liked how she was a fighter and that’s how she exercised her demons, so to speak.  I’m a emotional reader so for the emotions to be the main basis was really enjoyable for me.

Carlos, I don’t really know how I feel about him honestly. He’s kinda like Clay a bit in that he’s the strong silent type but at the same time he was too silent. He didn’t really give a lot of himself, he kinda just absorbed what Isabelle was leaking.  He listened and he didn’t really offer anything.  And while that’s a great trait to have, I  didn’t really get a chance to know him because of it.  He was so silent and he didn’t really talk about himself or his past.  We didn’t really get to know him as a person, we just got to know him as an extension of Isabelle. Which kinda put the breaks as to how I connected with him as a character.

Now Carlos is an elder and it was my understanding that elders weren’t allowed to have mates.  So that kinda confused me because that question was never answered. Also, there was another question that was never answered that kinda stuck in my head and that was, who left her the note?  That’s what I wanna know.
