Review:

I am so pissed I have to wait until February of 2010 for the next book in this series!  This book leaves you on the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers!! Ok, that being said, I really enjoyed this book. It was non-stop, the chemistry between Rafael and Falon, the tension between Rafael, Lucien and Falon, the action with the Slayers, the history. There was never a dull moment with this book. It kept going from beginning to end. I really enjoyed Falon, she is a survivor! I always have a lot of respect for the strong alpha type females who do what they have to do to survive; she is who she is because of the trails she has had to face. Rafael is your quintessential Alpha male, he is used to being in charge and what he says goes. He has had to make some hard decisions for the good of his pack, even at the detriment of his relationship with his twin brother. For 14 years his brother has been waiting to enforce the Blood Law and now that it is upon them, Rafael knows he will not be able to give Lucien what he is owed by law. Rafael will die first!
