First off, I have to say, you know I'm a Cynthia Eden fangirl, because I shelled out danged near $10 for this book on kindle. I don't do that for just anyone lol I usually have a strict limit of $6.99 for a kindle book (on principal lol), but for CE, I'll make an exception.
I'm glad that I did.
I've loved Zane since the first Night Watch story. I mean, how can you NOT?? Deliciously sexy, honorable, alpha, demon hybrid? *fans self* Whoooo..
I'm trying not to have any spoilers (what?? I can do it! Really!), so I'll just leave the synopsis up to others or the book blurb :)
What worked for me:
*The length. OF THE BOOK! Gah. Get your minds out of the gutter! lol There was a time when it slowed down in the middle and I honestly thought the book was wrapping up only to discover *BAM* book was only half over :D I love when that happens, because it's almost like two books in one.
*The whole bit with the witch at the compound and the powers thing... that I really wish I could say more about but dangit I'm not gonna spoil y'all with this one. Really. I'm not..... dangit.
*Zane. Just. Zane *dreamy sigh* And the shower. And that he was the ONE PERSON she never had to worry about hurting with her fire (what?! that's not a spoiler -- that was in previous books!)
*The chemistry was hottttt between the hero and heroine. I loved that our heroine wasn't all squeaky-clean innocent, and I loved that even while Zane was trying to fight his attraction to his bounty, he was falling in way more than just lust with her.
*That scene in the basement. Oh good lord I do love me a dangerous man.
What didn't work for me:
*I was quite sad at some of the deaths in the book :( I know, I know, that's on purpose, but one of the victims, I was really hoping would get a HEA :(
*I didn't feel like everything was quite as resolved at the end as I typically like.. And not just in a hey-I-bet-I-know-who-the-next-book-is-about way either. I don't really know how to explain it -- I can't really put my finger on it to be honest -- something just felt.. unresolved.
So, overall? 4 3/4 Stars, but you can totally round up to 5 if you want :)
