This was my least favorite of the series – the cruelty was a bit much – I know this genre has a heaping of it – and it being hard to listen to – kept telling me – the author did really an amazing job with writing—because I was getting in my feelings for poor long suffering Shadow:) xoxo – Overall – in a series not every book will grab you -BUT!!! I do recommend this installment- you get to continue to see your previous favs – AND it has great MC and steamy action!!!
