5 out of 5 starsThis is the 5th book in the Immortals of New Orleans series. While you can read it as a stand alone, you really will miss a lot of backstory if you don't read the previous books. That being said, this is one of the strongest books in the series. As I said on a previous review, with each new book the author really gets better and better, and this book really shows that with both characters and world building.I'll admit I wasn't overly excited hearing that Leopold was the next to get his story in this series. I was seriously hoping for Dimitri to be next, but I'll completely admit when I'm wrong. I was SO Wrong.. Leopold's story was awesome! The author really picked a perfect mate for him in Laryssa. While she was trying to hide who and what she was from him, she was still strong and mostly confident of herself. The minor lack of confidence in herself made her more approachable as a character.Leopold is one suave, yet utterly Alpha ancient vampire. He knows what he wants, sees it, takes it, and damn the consequences for he most part. Yet having Laryssa and baby Ava in his life change everything for him. You literally see the hardass persona melt away the more he's around and the more he comes to care for Laryssa. He really wants to be what she needs and wants and he completely changes himself for her.Through this story Leopold and Laryssa became one of my favorite couples in this series. However, I am very excited for what happens in the next book if what I'm supposing is going to happen from the last bit of this one. I seriously recommend picking this book up and this series if you haven't yet tried it. ~Reviewed by ChrisThis review is the property of Chris and not be shared or copied unless by the Publisher or Author or unless credit is given.
