I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  As a warning, there might be mild spoilers included in this review.  You should definitely read these books in order!Deidre's Death was the second installment in the Rhyn Eternal series.  It's been a little while for me since I read the first book in this series, so I had a small learning curve at the beginning of the book.  We pick up right where we left off, with Deidre-madness.  For jugging two characters with the same name, Lizzy Ford does an *excellent* job distinguishing between the two of them, even when they are in the same scene talking to one another.  BRAVO!  I saw them as two completely different characters.  This might be why I had such a hard time buying into the past-death and Gabriel storyline.The entire time we follow past-death via her POV or Gabriel's I just wanted to shout at the page.  Seeing them together made me so angry for Gabriel and angry for other Deidre and just generally angry!  How dare he "cheat" on her with ... well... other her.  I didn't get why I should be rooting for this relationship (I should be rooting for it, right?) until about 75% through.  There is a great scene involving other Deidre and Gabriel that finally made me understand the situation.  I get it now.  I'm over my anger, but I'd still like to see what happened with the Dark One.I also *loved* the scene with Gabriel and Rhyn that flip-flopped their roles from the other Rhyn series.  I was sad we didn't get to check in with Katie, but I was happy with the character pool we had to play with.  The book doesn't tie up any loose ends, so I am immediately diving into the next installment (Darkyn's Mate) without taking a break!
