Okay so Rex is stubborn and feels like no one could or should love him. He is sarcastic and has a "don't give a crap" attitude that hides a vulnerable side. Liz is just as stubborn and does not take anything Rex says to heart but gives it back just as well. They are evenly matched but the ending needed some groveling and work done. The book in general is still a good book but to go from Michael's book, my favorite, and then to Angel's, which was good too, I expected this is be on equal footing but it was not. It was not a disappointment either. I can see how people may see this book as a hit or miss. There are some inconsistency that gets annoying. First there is the eye color of Liz, 1st it is grey/blue then brown then blue. Pick a color and stick with it!! Then there is the "father" issue. I understand this for the most part but if Kendrick killed Rex's real dad with his first batch of made wolves, then he should have been alive for years after Rex was born. Rex is like 80 years old and the Kendrick did not meet his helpful friend until 40 years before so he did not have made wolves until then. If Kendrick wanted to keep Rex's dad from seeing him he would have had to kill Rafael a lot sooner than 40 years ago. Then there is the fact that their mother is still in limbo waiting for her mate so she can pass on. Kendrick says that it is because she is still enchanted in believing he is her mate and that she is waiting for him, but I have one issue. Where is Rafael???? He would have been there waiting for his mate when she died, wanting to take her into the next life. Why is he not still there trying to convince Mary Jo to follow him??? He would not be able to move on without her. This is not addressed and it bugs me a bit. Anyways, I always had my up and down battles with whether or not I thought Gabriel was a traitor and in the 1st 4 books, I would have said yes, but not after reading the last 3. In this one it is hinted at by the brothers themselves but I cannot believe it. He is crazy and volatile but I do not think he separated himself from the pack because he is a traitor. I feel that all this stuff going on with his dad has made him go extreme protector and every time he fails to get to his dad to stop him from harming his brothers, Gabriel slowly gets a bit more mad. He knows he is the only one to be able to bring his dad down and when he said in a previous book that he was leaving to kidnap someone, I knew he would disconnect from the pack and it had something to do with killing his dad for good. I cannot wait to read his book and see who he is paired up with. I always thought he was so mysterious and alpha manly because he has killer instincts that he uses purely for his family's sake.
