Where do I start? I guess I will start at the beginning. I must say the first 11% was telling us about stuff that happened in the first and second book. That was kinda of annoying. It was the same with book two. I would hope by now everyone knows these details or that her sister is badly burned. That was probably the only thing that slightly put me off, just like in book 2. After that the story was epic like always. I LOVED that SC gave us MORE steamy and extremely HOT scenes! probably some of those hottest she has done and I have read. The driving and having sex, HOT! the biting each other, HOT. Again, the scenes were stepped up a bit from the previous and I REALLY enjoyed that. I was missing that. Hot ben surprised me even more throughout the book. I simply fell more in love with him. Gabriel I fell in love with also. Him and Halina are adorable and so meant for each other. Halina is probably my favorite vampire ever, she was just as witty and hilarious as always. The children were so sweet and I simply loved them. We start out 5 years after the twins were born and Emma's conversion. We get to see the children acting like fairly normal children with some vampiric tendencies. We get to see the interactions between the families. We get to see lots of crazy things start to happen and Emma makes a choice and her life does end and she makes for one hell of a full vampire. Then things start to get really weird and one night poor Julian is taken by the "monster". It has you  questioning who and why someone would do this? It all comes to light though, and the moment is intense and suspenseful and amazing. What these parents and coven members do for their children and family is amazing. I love Teren and Emma, two amazing and strong characters. Love them to pieces. They will remain in my heart always. Obviously we know there is going to be books when the children are older, so it does have a happy outcome. But it takes a while to get there. It was perfect and  I cannot wait to read Julian and Nika's lives when they are older and read more about our favorite vampires. I also want to see what happens with Ashley, Christian, hot Ben and Tracey, Linda, etc. All in all it was very good and Shannon does not disappoint."I love you, Emma. A life without you... is no life at all.""The kids had a blast staying overnight. Anytime you and your husband feel like transforming into bats and sailing through the sky, I'd be happy to have them again.""And you will choose the teal bridesmaid dresses over the obnoxious pink ones." ( FUNNY FUNNY STUFF! haha)
