There was absolutely nothing about this book that I didn't like. I just loved it, much like I've loved every other book in this series. Sure I've liked some more than others but overall this has been a great journey. I was so excited to see that Kenyon was going to continue writing about these characters I've come to love and I only hope that she can continue. I think Darling's story shows great promise, and with some of the little tidbits that she kept throwing out in this book makes me think that she's priming to write his story next. All I can say is, YES!!

Anyway, a brief synopsis of this one. Caillen is the brother to Sharara who we saw in Syn's book. He's been working his whole life to protect his sister's ever since he promised his dad he would. He takes that promise very seriously and it's what lands him in trouble with enforcers in the beginning of this book. He's on the run trying to protect his family when he gets caught. The problem.. what his sister was smuggling carries a death sentence and his head is now literally on the chopping block. Until a strange thing happens and Caillen finds out interesting information about his past and his family. On his way to his new life he comes across a young woman who makes him want to beg for mercy and her name is Desideria. The two get thrown together into a life and death situation and have to try and trust one another in order to stay alive. Too bad they both have some trust issues.

This book drew me in from the beginning and didn't shake me loose until the last page was read. I enjoy reading about this world and the band of characters that keep getting more intriguing as the series progresses. My only hope is that Darling gets a story.. and soon.
