4 stars

I enjoyed this book so much more than the previous ones in the series. Leto's and Grace's relationship was a bit drawn out but I'm happy that Leto and Grace were able to complete the breh-hedden without any of the drama that happened with the previous couples. . I loved the vampire mythology and the government and society structure was intriguing. This novel drifted a bit more from the formula of the previous books, and I have to say that I am glad that the war, is done. I enjoyed with the wrap-ups and revelations that were made in Gates of Rapture..

Vampire and Warrior Leto Distro can feel himself getting more unhinged, his breh fated mate, Grace Albion is not there too five her blood to him. Grace is in an unusual situation she is mated to Casimir who she chose to leave with. Now Grace feels that she must get to Leto and what does that mean for Casimir? This was an unusal twist in the story.

On top of adjusting life for Leto and Grace, you also have the war with Greaves amping up. Will they be able to survive the threats to their lives?

This was fantastic, full of twists and turns. There is so much to detail but I dont want to ruin it for readers by giving too much away. All the favorites from previous books are there. Endelle is one of my favorites, she is just crazy. Caris Roane is able to write a story that is so vivid you can imagine each and everything that happens. Another wonderful read.
