I do like Gray, I think he's adorable and fun. I just think this book overall was pretty tame. I didn't feel like a ton happened. As always, I loved the characters and the overall plot of the series.
Gray is the Nephilim brother who represents Sloth. Mason became a monster/supernatural hunter after seeing ghouls take down his team in a mission while he was a Marine. They meet when Gray and his brothers save Mason from a monster attack. It was an instant connection and instead of going to his next hunt, Mason stays in Echo's Bay to see Gray again and ends up getting drawn into the demon/angel war.
Mason and Gray have more of an infatuation at first sight before falling hard and fast. Mason struggles with understanding that not all supernatural beings are evil because he's still processing the grief of losing his closest friend to monsters. Gray's sin is sloth, which makes his life difficult on a daily basis let alone when they're trying to fight a war. He's also one of the Nephilim brothers that has a complicated relationship with his dad, who's still out there causing mayhem. They both deal with feelings of inadequacy, but together give the support they need. They're a really cute couple with a sweet relationship full of nap cuddles and laughs.
I feel like the overall plot didn't really have a ton of stuff happen. Maybe it'll be relevant later, but it felt a bit anticlimactic compared to the previous books. The insta-love stuff also felt a little cheesy for me in this book. It could've been because of Gray's character being more cutesy in general. Also, and this is very picky, but I'm not sure what the author has against the word "motorcycle". This is the fourth book that she's only referred to them as "crotch rockets".
Now I've been excited for Bellamy's book for two books already. His moment with his (probable) mate in this book? But also the fact they are the epitome of enemies to lovers?? I'm really intrigued to see how his brothers deal with this, as he's tried to kill them multiple times. Ready to see how this all plays out!
