Griffin: Cerberus MC Book 8 by Marie JamesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Entertaining, but not the best in the series
I don’t think this was the strongest Cerberus MC book I’ve read. It was pretty predictable and didn’t have much building up of tension. The style of writing was easy and natural but I just didn’t feel there was much of a plot and to be honest, Griffin was a bit of an idiot.
Griffin and Ivy grew up together in the MC but they weren’t really friends. Ivy always had a huge crush on Griffin and never really looked at any other man, despite being away at college for two years.
Griffin went into the marines when Ivy was 16 and then when she was 18 she went away to college in Rhode Island, hundreds of miles away. They didn’t really see each other until Griffin got discharged from the marines and Ivy came home to see if he was ok.
Griffin was going through some severe trauma but I really didn’t like the way he treated Ivy initially. Ivy was sweet and naive, how that happened when she grew up in an MC I don’t know, but that was the character. He went out of his way to shock her and push her away in the most unpleasant way possible rather than telling her straight that he wasn’t in the right place to be anything to her.
I also felt that Ivy was too forgiving, but that is just my personality and I wouldn’t make the choices she made so it annoyed me a bit. However, the choices she made were consistent with the way her character was written, so I can’t complain too much. I just thought that even though she initially stood her ground, she did let him get away with a lot.
So like I said, not my favourite Cerberus MC book, but as I enjoyed the rest, I’d probably pick up the next in the series when it comes out.
