Review:
This was another one of my grocery store grab a book of the rack to read finds and I’m glad I choose this book. It is obviously part of a series and one of the most recent of the series but that didn’t really hinder the story at all, so it is able to be a standalone book within the series. So if you read out of order you will not be totally lost. C. Feehan as a writer is very detailed and lyrical; her writing has such a beautiful flow to it. Although sometimes I would mutter to myself just get to the point, but I can be a very impatient, blunt person. The story itself is the usual good versus evil but is different in that both the male and female characters are tortured souls. Usually the male is the tortured and their lifemate is an innocent gentle soul that can tame the wildness if the tortured. In this story both the male and female characters have been tortured to an inch of their lives and only sheer will power kept them alive. Together the find solace from their hardships and only each other can truly understand what they had gone through so together they are stronger. I really enjoyed the story and would recommend it to others.
