As a long time lover of books with fantastically broken societies, this series looks like it's going to hit the spot with me. The Defiance men aren't soft and it's that very hardness that has allowed them to carve out a place for themselves since the world fell apart.I love the brotherhood among Caspar and his men. I like that he goes with his gut and doesn't blindly follow orders. The fact that he has an agenda and has been steadily working toward his endgame for ages is a bonus.Now, I did like Tru and Caspar together. But... I had a tough time connecting the dots as to why they were angry at one another in the beginning. While I do get that Tru had to make a choice and shift her way of thinking, Cas's weirdness with her confuzzled me. He was an integral part of her original escape and he knew why she was running. Being angry at her for returning when she didn't have a lot of other choices took a while for me to wrap my head around. Honestly, I'm still trying to figure it out.The setup for the future has been laid out nicely and I'm SUPER excited to see Matthias and Bishop getting their own books. I REALLY liked those two and want to see them find special lady friends to spend time with.All in all, this was a solid foundation for a dark, brutal world where the ones who thrive are the ones who are willing to fight the hardest.PS. This book fulfilled my desire for tattooed, pierced men quite satisfactorily. *slow thumbs up*-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
