Twin brothers, Mark and Travis Drayner,
both possess the power to “Drain” strength from others by
touching them. Over the years, however, Mark’s power has
increased while Travis’ stayed the same. When Mark begins to
use his power more and more, and his abilities increase
exponentially, will he leave the weaker Travis behind?
I didn’t know what to expect when I began
reading Just Wait. I hadn’t read
a twincest story before, and this book had the addition of
magical elements to make it even more unusual. Of the twins,
Travis is by far the weaker, but he is also the one who has
more of a conscience and a desire to give mercy. He goes
along with whatever Mark wants to do because he loves his
brother. Mark is the stronger, more outgoing twin. He
doesn’t see anything wrong with doing whatever he wants, just
because he can. Mark kind of went off the deep end with his
powers in my opinion, and it made him very difficult to like.
In some ways, Just Wait reminded me of another
of Rowan McBride’s books, Warm Rush (only a lot
darker). Over the course of the story, Mark changes a great
deal physically due to his magic, rather like one of the
characters in Warm Rush. The love scene between the
twins was well done, and the storyline was interesting. I
would have liked this one to be longer, however, because I
wanted to learn more about the Drayner family’s history and
how the twins used their powers. I also felt like the ending
was too abrupt. If you like dark stories and twincest, you’ll
probably like Just Wait. If you’re looking for
a sunshine-and-roses type of story, though, you should
probably look elsewhere. |
