I was prepared to have issues with this book. I knew it would be amazing because Tawdra has yet to write a book that I don't love, but I was wary. I expected to hate Nell because after reading The King Series, it was hard to imagine liking her. I also expected to be sad. Rafe's loss was still fresh in my mind from Undeniable. I was seriously surprised by how wrong I was.Nell is a hard character. She is strong, stubborn, and sometimes downright hateful. She used to be an antagonist that I loved to hate. Suddenly in Unquenchable she became a protagonist that I wanted to trust, tried to understand, and finally fell in love with. That's a hard shift, but one that was made beautifully. Reading from Nell's point of view meant that even when she was in b*tch mode, I knew how her heart and mind really felt. She still had her moments of out right meanness, but I started feeling like they were a bit justified.I wasn't sure how I would feel about Rafe's shifting attentions. Jocelyn meant so much to him. It was interesting watching him go through his grief with Nell by his side, providing her... unique brand of counseling. It wasn't hard for me to root for Nell in this, well not as hard as I expected. I guess I'm fickle. I think that Rafe and Nell were very right about what Jocelyn would say about it all.The plot is exciting and while it moves quickly, it takes place over a period of time. As always I loved the moments when the characters used their abilities, especially Nell. She has some serious power. The secondary characters caught my attention. Doc was by far one of the best secondary characters, full of profound wisdom at perfect moments.This book caught my attention from the first moment and kept it until the very end. As I was getting close to the end I was stressing out because I didn't want it to end. Thank goodness for the mention of future books for Rafe and Nell. I can rest easy, if a bit impatiently, in the knowledge that I'll get to read more about these characters.I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
