I can feel the sadness raining down on me as I approach the last couple of books out in the series.  I am not sure if I am feeling sentimental or not but this story was one of my favorites.  It gave me the boost I was looking for and included the "look back" at how it all started.  I had forgotten about Donnell and Desiree so it was great they had their own story.  We finally get to know more about Michael; I am excited to learn more about him and the Master's plan for him and Brock.The spirit mates are all so broken prior to meeting their angel; the back story on Desiree was tough to read another cringe for me. I am happy the story focused on how she overcome extreme brokenness and learned to live the life of a happy and prosperous spirit mate.  Donnell is that brooding, protective, unapologetic, alpha male character that I've come to crave over the years.  I was rooting for him from the opening chapter.  I can't believe that I would fall in love with a character that did not like Brock.  Donnell wormed his way into my heart just like Akibeel has done.  When Donnell called Desiree his "due season" I was all in.Once again the writing is so good that the lines between truth and fiction are starting to blur.  I find myself looking up places and things to see if there are real like Blue Mahoe (who knew).  The biblical references are so well placed and integrated in the story that again I have to stop and think..was that in the Bible, I am really reconnecting to stories long forgotten in an exciting way.Two new women are introduced in this series, Ester and Veranda.  These tough women are as much protectors and nurturers as the Watchers.  They both restored my faith in the older generation found throughout the previous books; the elders in this series were working my last nerve.  I hope we get to see more of Ester and Verenda, I need them (as does the spirit mates), they added even more excitement and laughter.Desiree tells Donnell her mother Madea gave her faith life.  Yep, that's about right; rejuvenation.
