I have read all of her books of this series and enjoyed them tremendously, but this one was not one of her best efforts. You have a man who has been alone for most of his 800 years yet his syntax and phrasing is that of an American 18 year old with resentment issues.In this story you have a man who's parents are of different cultures and somewhat different species but it seems that he has a split personality because, apparently, each side talks to the other; they are not blended. He has daddy issues because his father impregnated his mother and left. He left part of his shield which I thought had to be deliberate when they impregnated a female so the explanation that the father did not know she was pregnant fell flat. Apparently, leaving part of the shield leaves the male weakened for a few days. His mother's father threw her out when she got pregnant and she lived in the wild while raising her son and dying at the age of about 120. He adored his mother but hated everyone.I was disappointed in this book due to the her varying from the story line. There were grammatical mistakes and word misuse also. I have already read her 5th book and will probably buy her 6th but I will be a little more cautious because the quality of the story telling is becoming slap dash and ho hum.I actually would have given this 2.5 starts if I could have.
