I’ve been waiting on Adam’s story with baited breath, now I can breathe a sigh of relief.  I did not think this series could have challenged my imagination any more than it already had but I was wrong.  The demon fight, coming of age quickly, healing the sick and levitation are all reminders that this is a paranormal story; it’s so easy to forget that fact.  The love story, bonding of family and friendships, mental illness and normal life disappointments keep me focused and in love with  the human elements of the story.I am drawn to the realism and life lessons found in each Angel’s story. I long for the lighthearted moments so I was pleased that Adam’s story included many funny scenes and one-liners like when Eugene told Adam they had a “date” (major chuckle), or Akibeel saying Adam smelled like a dead polecat.  Adam’s quick wit kept me on my toes and ensured the story did not feel heavy.  Adam is like most adolescents that underestimate the danger in too much undisciplined power. Rebecca’s moment with Adam is one that every mother should read.  Adam’s recklessness almost cost him his spirit mate’s life.  There is something to be said for too much too soon.  Interestingly enough, I like the younger generation spirit mates and cousins much better than the older folks. They are more tolerant, loyal and loving; Mordiree proved her love for Adam.It’s hard to talk about each book and not mention how much I love Brock.  When he told his kids “you each control the rhythm to my heart”, I feel in love just little bit more.  Brock does a great job in bringing peace to the storm in most situations so when he gets mad you have no choice but to get mad right along with him. It’s crazy how you want to defend a fictional character but that is the power of good writing.The book ends with a line you hear often in many religious circles “many are called but few are chosen”.  Being at the home stretch in this series, all I can say is, EJ Brock that is the truth – your truth.
