I am obsessed with this series! I feel that Ms.Kay has found the perfect balance between action and romance with this third book in her Solsti Prophecy series. I loved the prior books as well but felt that the sex overshadowed the fantastic world she'd built for her characters. This time around, it was just right. Each book in this series can't stand on its own. There are a lot of characters, different species, and some secrets that started in book one are slowly rolled out and revealed as each book comes out. To read them out of order would mean spoiling quite a few story lines.Out of the couples that have come before, I think I love Gin and Mathias just a little more than the others. Gin wasn't as bad as I thought she might be after reading about her from her sisters' POVs. I feared that she was going to be a timid heroine with a stubborn streak to rival those of Nicole and Brooke. That wasn't the case. Her character arc was so well developed that I understood why she had wanted to distance herself from the crazy world her sisters had embraced, and why she feared her abilities so much. It was very well explained, and above all, believable. I loved her spunk when it showed. I think my favorite thing about her was that she was a brainiac, but she was also very sensual. As for Mathias, where should i even begin? He's a demon, he's sexy, protective, but what I loved about him most of all were his communication skills (when he wasn't omitting the truth about who and what he was in the beginning). Actually, they both were quite mature about talking to one another throughout the story and each of them showed a nice amount of confidence around each other. He was also incredibly encouraging and sensitive when it came to helping her with her power. Their relationship progressed as naturally as it could under the circumstances. It wasn't too fast, and she wasn't exactly shy or guarding her heart against a past hurt. The sex was off the charts hot. Ms. Kay sure knows how to write some intense love-making scenes. The paranormal aspect always delivers a healthy dose of heat and *cough* size.There was no shortage of action in this third installment, and all of it exciting, very descriptive that I could picture every single moment. There wasn't a boring moment that made me want to skip ahead; one event flowed into the next at a good and steady pace. It took me a moment to catch on to one seemingly out of place POV until the truth smacked me in the face. I hope the next story will involve The Thief and Caine. I'm positively giddy to find out how The Thief ended up where she did, and how the Solsti will react. My only (minor) complaint was the over-use of Gin's unique scent.If you've enjoyed Larissa Ione's Demonica series, Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series, or Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series, then this series is for you. I highly recommend checking out this series.**I received an ARC from the author for the purpose of an honest review.**
