So first off, I have to give Ms. Winters MAD PROPS for including the novella Dark Mercy in the beginning of this book!  Seriously, by her doing that shows how much she cares about her readers by not saying, “Oh you HAVE to buy this other book before you can start this one or else it won’t make sense.”  Once again, this gives me another reason why I enjoy her writing so much!I have read the other books in this series, but it was so long ago that I was worried I was going to be a bit lost. But Ms. Winters isn’t lying when she says that they can be read as standalones. The only thing that I could see coming from this is that you will want to go back and read the other books in the series because there is so many interesting characters, you just want to find out what their stories are.But back to this story, I’m not usually a fan of vampire books just because they are so overdone in my opinion. You can imagine my surprise that once I started this book, I couldn’t stop reading it because I was so engrossed in what was happening that I didn’t want it to end!  There was plenty of drama, action, suspense, and just the right amount of smut that takes place in the book.Angeline’s character was one that my heart went out to every time Hadrian was being a jerkface. I mean seriously man! Cut her some slack!! She was willing to do anything for him, even breaking one of the most important rules, yet he still acted like a jerk. Even come the end of the book, I still didn’t like him. But that ended up working out because even though I had such strong negative feelings towards him throughout the book, I really don’t think that the book would have been this great without him being that way.I really enjoyed this book and I am planning on going back and re-reading the other books in the series as soon as possible because I can’t wait to get wrapped up in the world Ms. Winters has created.  And I really can’t wait for the next book in the series to be released!Reviewed by Crystal Marie for Crystal's Many Reviewers*Copy provided for review*
