Seriously!?! Maybe this cliffhanger bugged me the most because I don't have the next book and it isn't even out yet, but dang it, NO, NO, NO. By the time I got to nearly the end of the book, I kinda guessed where it was going to end, but was hoping I was wrong because, well, I wanted them happy. I wanted them to find a way to make that happen that doesn't go where it did. <sigh> But, no.At the end of book 3 we learn that Devlin is Darcy's uncle, a bit removed of course ;). As a result, this one picks up with a lot of ticked off people, and left me a tiny bit uncomfortable. Hey, in book 3 she was noticing how attractive he was, then she learns he is her uncle...who wouldn't be uncomfortable. But as we learn the "why" behind his not telling her, you just gotta get back to loving Devlin. It takes Mason a little longer to get past the fact that Devlin kept the secret of Darcy being in danger to himself, and a small handful of others, and Darcy is hurt of course, but once we do get past that, it is on to the bigger picture of how to protect her from the next challenge...essentially, someone else wanting to kill her. One relative will do anything to keep her safe while another wants to take her life. It's a race to find a way to either re-bind her magic or eliminate Julian. A part of me feels like the fight with Julian was a bit anti-climactic, but the result was definitely a doozy. Talk about winning, just to lose. And talk about secrets...I STILL am dying for more about Devlin. Just when you think you learned quite a bit about his history at the start of this book, you get a hint of more that is hidden at the end of the book.I can definitely say that I am now eagerly awaiting the next book to learn what happens to Darcy and Mason, as well as learn more about Devlin and Zane. I guess things have been too perfect between the super couple, and now things have to get really hairy between them. Yes, they have had challenges, but never to them personally. This will change that and that is one thing I definitely was hoping to avoid because that was one of the greatest things about this series. The fact that they were established and strong together.Looking forward to the next book topping it, but can we finally give Darcy and Mason their happily ever after?
