Blurb:Some live on memories…
Almost dying during a pack uprising has a way of shaking things up. I’m no longer Mr. Laid Back now that there’s an itch under my skin I can’t scratch.
On a volunteer mission that goes beyond the walls of our compound, we enter the territory of a pack long thought dead, and find ourselves on the business end of their spears.
What I’m not prepared for is what I find within their walls—The one shifter I never thought I’d see alive, the one I’d mourned twice, the one I’d always loved. He is alive, and if I have anything to do with it, he’ll stay that way. But he’s got secrets, and exposing them could lead us to an enemy worse than the bloodthirsty undead shifters wanting to kill us all…
4.5 stars — Fantastic follow up to Daring Fate! I just knew it was going to be Nash, but I had NO IDEA what the explanations were going to be. And while I am super duper impatient, and hated having to wait until a good chunk into the book to get my answers, it was kind of fun to continually come up with theories. And while I was never spot on, I got close, and I was definitely satisfied with the answers I got…you know, in a totally horrified way.
So, as was not surprising (to me at least), this was a heartbreaking storyline…even a bit more horrifying than I was expecting. I mean seriously, Nash got FUCKED in life. Over and over and over again. I inherently loved him b/c Bay loved him. But because we didn’t have answers at the beginning and we were entirely in Bay’s POV, it was hard to watch him constantly distance himself from Bay and the pack. But once we found out what happened to him, and even when we got into his head, I started to understand how his trauma had shaped him. I felt like his reactions were reasonable given the circumstances, and I felt like his growth and healing happened at a reasonable pace as well.
Bay was hiding depths, that’s for sure. I kind of figured though, you would get glimpses of this in Dare’s story. You could really see how his mourning over Nash, and the effects of what happened with Gage really through him off his game. It was interesting to see this happy go lucky guy that was hiding so much pain inside. It was hard to experience his utter confusion over what’s happening with him. I LOVED how persistent he was with Nash, how he wouldn’t let Nash keep his distance, and how once he found him again he wasn’t going to accept any excuses to separate them again. I honestly think he would have followed Nash to his death if it’d come to that.
The thing I loved about this story, as in the last one, was the crazy plot line running through it. I loved seeing the Silver Tip pack reaching out to the Whitethroat pack, and I loved the different dynamics that were introduced there (including some interesting new characters). The whole Blanks thing was crazy…like holy tense action batman. I was all in from start to finish, and I loved that we got a satisfying ending after all that Ms. Erickson put us through with our boys.
It was fantastic to catch up with old characters, and get even more glimpses into others. My fingers are crossed for a polyamorous relationship in the next book!! I can’t wait to see where this series is going to go.
Great review
