Well, I certainly was not expecting that. This book put me thru the emotional ringer. More than 12hours later, I can't stop thinking about it & I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about how it all ended.In true Dearbourne fashion, we start off with a flashback that gives us a good hard look at what Cerdewellyns powers once were, the lengths he will go to in order to get them back to full strength & sets the stage for what's to come. Then were right back where LIF left off, with Val being thrown off a cliff. Fair warning, this book will screw with your head. It dives head first into Fey powers, glamours & illusions around every corner will leave you questioning everything wondering what exactly is real.You will get to find out how Jack & Rachel are handeling the werewolf tie between them & the changes it causes in both of them.We get to see the results of Lucas' overdose on Vals blood from both sides -Vals feelings of hurt, betrayal & despair over Lucas' deceptions & secrets. How does she feel about him now that the truth is out & what does she do about it? -and Lucas?? Well, there really is no way to describe what he is going thru without giving too much away. It really is something you just have to read & experience to truly understand & once you do he will forever be changed in your eyes. The relationship between these two reaches a whole new dimension that will bring tears to your eyes.Now Cerdewellyn, lets just say after spending some time with him in this book Lucas will seem like a pussycatLots of action, mystery, suspense, blood, deception, terror & shock awaits you in this book. As well as some tears. I loved every minute of it!!On a personal note, I have to say I'm still not quite sure how I feel about the ending. This book wraps Vals story up, this is true, but I can't help but feel a loss of closure. It just wasn't there for me. The last few chapters took a turn I never saw coming and it was nothing like I expected. It's not that I didn't like it exactly, I just feel like I'm hanging. I dont really know how to explain it. There was an Authors note stating a new book is expected in 2014 following Jack, Rachel & Cer. I just feel there's more to be told where Val & Lucas are concerned. I did still love the book & the entire series, I guess I'm just not ready to say good-bye to some of the charaters quite yet. I definitely would recommend to anyone who loves a great supernatural book packed with action, mystery & hott-blooded romance =)
