I am still mixed up about this book. The writing is great as it normally is with this author. It is creative and unique and very solid. The only thing that I cannot decide on is the entire mate situation. With the first book we have the human born Deidre that is Gabes mate. The chemistry between these two characters was great and I truly enjoyed the two of them together. Especially after we are told how the Goddess Deidre was so cruel to Gabe and that she basically tormented him for centuries. So now that the human version of Deidre is so kind and good for him the two Deidre's are switched around. I know that the Goddess Deidre now has human emotions and can finally see things for how they are but I just cant get use to the idea that she is now with Gabe. It just felt like their relationship was somehow fake or flat to me. It really does feel more like he was cheating and that the evil people were getting rewarded. I mean the Goddess Deidre was basically cruel and mean to everyone and doesnt deserve a good mate like Gabe. Yes she sacrificed a lot to be with Gabe but she screwed over an innocent person and it is just to wrong for me. I think the problem for me is that I enjoyed the human Deidre but was annoyed by the Goddess version. I cant see how Gabe could be happy with the woman who was beyond cruel to him for centuries. When they were together the chemistry that was so appealing with human Deidre and Gabe just wasn't there. The relationship between Immortal Deidre and Gabe was just to unbelievable for me and felt wrong to the point that I don't care much how it ends up with them. I will continue to read the series because I hope that the next one will somehow reverse my feelings toward the new mate thing. I want to point out that despite my hesitation over the mate situation that this is a clearly unique and creative series. I still would recommend this series to anyone because it is different in a genre that seems repetitive. It truly is a great series that leaves you thinking and for that alone I will read the next book. It is unpredictable and that is a very rare quality in a story.
