I am happily surprised. I was so disappointed with the second book of the series that I had almost given up on the series, but this last book was so much better.The plot revolves around Jin trying to master his nekhene power and his mate and friends facing all kinds of external dangers. I think in the first part this was especially Logan's book and in the second part it became the tribe's book. Jin seemed more a spectator or commentator than the protagonist, because he was totally overwhelmed by his own uncontrollable power and Logan's dominance. This gives a sort of coherence to the whole storyline that was lacking from the second book of the series, in my opinion. The writing was much better too and even if I am not really a fan of the author's style, it was pretty focused in this installment.The love between Jin and Logan is the real value of this book, it's an exclusive love that is maybe unbearable seen from the outside, but it makes perfect sense for the rules created in that world and for the concept of fated mates told by the author. There's a lot of tenderness and sometimes I like to lose myself in these illusions. Sometimes it was as if Jin was too helpless, but Logan's regard and respect made their relationship more balanced.As I said before, the secondary characters are very important in the book and it was interesting to see how their stories played out. There are all kinds of possible spin-offs for the series.Even if sometimes the narration wasn't very smooth, especially because of all the rules in the panthers' world, and sometimes I had the impression we were still wandering about, it's impossible to put the book down.Galley received via Netgalley, courtesy of the publisher.
