Danielle is an awesome writer with great imagination and the ability to capture her reader  and immerse them in a world of passion, intrigue, action and deceit. I gave this book only a 3 star because of the writing skills and plot. However, for those of you who have read the Royal series and were anxiously waiting Mattias story. This book holds much of that great magic Danielle weaves, but unfortunately lacked some of the passion we are accustomed to seen in the Royal series.I think the story line was great, but the interaction between both main characters was constantly strained leaving me feeling frustrated and as if the story did not quite end making the ending feel short and anti climatic!.. Mattias' character was such as powerful, passionate and sensual individual that his role in this book left me wanting. I just feel that the stubbornness displayed during the story between Mattias and Alannah could have at least been played up a little more with more attraction and action between the two. Instead of the constant fighting and standoff scenes between the two.This new series still has the capability of capturing my heart but with this book I did not feel Mattias story was conclusive nor did he get his full happily ever after I was expecting for him. The author indicated only one book would be done on Mattias but I just did not feel it was fulfilling!
