Again it ends with a bit of a twist, but it was one I kind of saw coming this time, even if I didn’t necessarily understand why it happened. Overall, this book was a good sequel, and it kept the action and drama going strong. It felt a little rushed and I felt that it could have been expanded on a little.
Her role as Quinten’s maker makes her necessary to the plot, but I couldn’t tell if she actually wanted to be with Quinten or if she just didn’t want him to be with Alanna. She was very inconsistent, and I wasn’t sure what she wanted throughout the entire book. You know the Council is not happy with her, and that Roger and Eli are trying to get revenge as well, but you’re not always sure who is causing which problems. It gets a little confusing trying to keep up with who is doing what to Alanna and Quinten. Even though they know of the existence of dhampirs, she and Quinten weren’t exactly careful, and they pay for it. Alanna had another stupid moment or two. But I think the author handles Alanna’s emotional distress really well. There was another heart-breaking scene in this book, where quite a few people die because Alanna and Quinten are in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Alanna blames herself. I like that she didn’t know much about the Council and had to have it explained to her. It was interesting to get a glimpse into werewolf politics and their place in Alanna’s life.
The relationship was a high point of this book for me. Their relationship steadily progresses as the two begin to fully explore their love for each other. This book starts off where the first one ended, and it jumps right into an action scene and a huge revelation, which sets up a ton of family drama.
