While I haven't read all 33 books in the Argeneau series, every time I do read one I wonder why I haven't read them all. These books just satisfy on all levels. You have to go into it accepting (to some degree) of a fated mates. You also have to accept vampires - but vampires are sometimes easier to mentally go with more than fated mates.

Quinn was turned into a vampire against her will as a casualty of her husband being turned by a rogue vampire. Since that time Quinn has been struggling to come to terms with her new life. She's grieving the loss of her career as a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, as well as the trauma of the situation. She's refused to accept her life and has withdrawn from contact with anyone other than her son and sister. She has agreed to accept counseling to try and move forward, when the plane she is on crashes in the remote Canadian wilderness.

Jet Latimer is one of the pilots on the plane and the only human. With some severe injuries to the survivors - all of whom are vampires - he quickly becomes the only food source available. So for the first time in 5 years, Quinn starts using some of her vampire abilities. From that point on - it is race to figure out why the plane crash happened and to learn more about Quinn's history.

This book goes in to a lot of depth about how the human brain processes trauma and loss. These vampires all have a history that includes a lot of both, I thought the way Lynsay Sands approached it was related and poignant.

Overall - bring on more books! And don't mind me while I deep dive into the series.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.
