I normally don’t read reviews of trusted authors/series, I like going in totally blind. However I accidentally skimmed a few and was tempted to skip this book or put down the series. I am SOOOO glad I didn’t. First of the Shadow’s character is so unique and charming he alone was worth reading. Gray’s attitude towards him at first may seem cruel, and a bit melodramatic but I think it was so incredibly real. He didn’t understand Shadow and was (rightly) afraid of him and being influenced by those around him. While Shadow was desperate and confused it just makes sense! and I legit cried…. like several times.
!!!!SPOILER!!!!!
So many people complained about the clubs reaction to certain events at the end of the book, but come on y’all THIS IS AN OUTLAW MOTOR CYCLE CLUB WITH TIES TO A FREAKIN DEMON. You cross the club and you will be punished. Justified actions or otherwise. Frankly, -and here is my unpopular opinion- Shadow and Gray were let off EASY. Gray and Shadow’s actions were selfish, and YES I believe that Gray made a few human decision. But he totally chose one person over the world as they know it. Which is why I love these Authors so much. They make mistakes, they act selfish and disregard the big picture sometimes because they are flawed. I can understand why people are upset, because I mean in the same situation could you imagine Beast not making the same choice as Gray if it were Laurent?
