It was a lovely roller coster that left me breathless at the end. a couple good points are i am glad that cassy is starting to actually reflect and think about a lot of the stuff she is doing rather than just constantly reacting to it. Also i was holding my breath when two certain characters met for real, and breathed such a happy sigh of relief at the end. though i have to admit Karen may have given me an ulcer or two while it was happening!

A couple of…not really bad points but things that irked me . I’m not sure if it’s exactly fair to say this here sense it is something that just about all urban fantasy novels with heroine leads do, but the alpha male character constantly yelling about or actively impeding the female leads every move and the female lead only ever putting up the most taken of rebukes for the extra strain they deal with because of it gets rather tedious at times. Maybe there is some allegory or metaphor that as a guy i don’t get, but i just don’t see how anyone could like, let alone love, someone when they are constantly trying to make their lover take them seriously as a person rather than some kind of frail pet. Still i have to admit that this series is not as bad as some, but i was disappointed a couple times when Pritkin started to do it. The only other thing that irked me about this book, is that Karen Chance has a bad habit of going off on tangents in the middle of conversations, so much so that i kind of forget what the whole thing was about in the first place. LOL even during some of the sexier moments of the book.

A single bad point. This is of course annoying back seat driving, but i have to say that after 9 pretty good sized books the whole bumbly chaotic i don’t have a clue how to really use my power thing is kind of old. I hope Cassy continues with her training but honestly she didn’t look like she wanted to continue with it after a single session, so i won’t hold my breath.

In the end i was well satisfied and had a good time. so money well spent.
