My Lover My Enemy Juxtapose City 5 Volume 5 Tricia Owens Books
I've been a big fan of Tricia Owens since her Juxtapose Fantasy site and I'm so glad she's published my favorite of her series.It's hard to write a review for each book; these are not standalone novels and I definitely recommend reading every single one.
This series is half deliciously kinky porn and half unexpectedly great plot. Set in the futuristic Juxtapose City, the story follows a group of characters trying to prevent a war between psypaths (an emerging class of humans with varied mental powers) and regular humans. Don't expect epic world spanning sci-fi literature, but do expect a well thought out microcosm on how humans of different backgrounds plan and react while on the brink of war. And also how humans, individually or as a group, can and will subjugate each other through the use of drugs, fear, violence, poverty, police brutality etc. It's all fiction but sadly not really.
Despite that I can't wait to see where the story goes, with hope that our heroes will prevail.

My Lover My Enemy Juxtapose City 5 Volume 5 Tricia Owens Books Reviews
I read this book so quickly, I couldn't remember at first what had happened. It continues the action from the fourth book, The Ultimate Team, and sets new goals for following books.
Black's team is still looking for him. It's a given that someone finds him.
Meanwhile, we learn more about lies that were spoken in the previous book, and some promises are fulfilled. Remember Black saying he would introduce Calyx to his mother? Or way back in the first book when Calyx suggested that he and Black would dance in a club together? Neither happened as I had expected, and I love that I'm often surprised by the characters' actions. When we're told their motivations, they make sense, but the characters are as unpredictable as real people when we aren't in their heads.
Knowing that the series continues for several more books, I was satisfied with the book's ending. It looks as if we will soon learn Genesis' real identity and what's behind Captain Dick's decisions. I have my guesses, but who knows at this point what's really going on?
My biggest complaint Why doesn't anyone consider what Black and Calyx have already done as sex? That threw me out of the story every time it came up. Too weird.
OK, enough is enough. I started the series and got invested in the main players. The precipice of the series is an interesting one but the author has done nothing but drag the story out so as to write more books in the series to sell. She builds up Black to be a reformed hero only to have him knocked down again and degraded time after time. It's gotten quite old for me and I have lost lost any spark of involvement I have as a reader into the MC. Sure, I know the real unlikely hero in this whole scenario is Calyx but come on author. You can't expect serious readers to keep hanging on with your loooong story buildup. Same ol' same ol' time after time, book after book.
Very disappointing fifth book in this series.
While I am disappointed that the book (which appears to be the final book in the series based on current information here) leaves an endless tangle of loose ends and incomplete storylines, I am most disappointed in the continual sadistic torture of the main character.
Poor Black. Or that is how he started out in my eyes. Poor Black. His tortures never end. He is always, always, the victim of physical, mental and emotional at the hands of those who were/are the nearest and dearest to him. After five books of it, I am weary of waiting for the next horrible scene to be visited upon him -- often, sadly, due to his own complicity. Or perhaps, stupidity. The man cannot figure out who to trust and when in doubt, makes the worst possible decisions. Worst of all, perhaps, is his stubbornly blind insistence on allegiance to his foster father, based on his feelings of worthlessness and gratitude makes him appear not sympathetic, but pathetic in my eyes. At this point, he has become Pitiful Black.
I am also weary of waiting for a truly great sex scene between Black and Calyx. It took long enough for them to have any sex and even then, it was not the sex Black really wanted. I was waiting patiently for that scene to occur and yet in five books, it did not. Talk about all foreplay and no follow through.
The series had so much promise -- intriguing characters, great writing, complex plot, evil villains to vanquish, complex anti-heroes who need to heal themselves and find love. So much promise. I was hoping that the main couple would have some sort of happy ending or at least some really amazing sex. I was hoping that Black would truly take control of his own life, see people for who they truly are. While he did make some inroads in that area near the end, I think it was too late for me because I was just tired of him being tortured.
I was hoping the story would be tied up in this fifth and apparently last installment. Instead all I got was a twisted skein of a dark yarn whose ends are flying in the breeze with nothing knitting them together except my annoyance.
At this point, I am unsure if I would read another book in this series because my frustration level is too high.
History unveiled doesn't reveal enough to complete the story or even provide any real clues. As a result, five books in and I'm still confounded. Hope resolution is somewhere near.
Your dreams can be turned against you without realizing it. Especially when someone else is in your head. If you can trust your partner it will work out if you share everything and no secrets.
This one was fun simply for the fact Calyx took center stage and I absolutely adore the rakish empath ) Almost missed doing a review because I read straight into the next book, but as usual it was riveting and the sexual angst was delicious.
