Absolutely everyone. Go and read the series!
Read from July 02 to 05, 2011
Wow... Huh. Just... wow.
Holy cow. I just love to be pleasantly surprised!
This book is so far the best one in the entire series - that's right, I liked it even more than the first book, Kitty and the Midnight Hour. This is certainly a rare moment; you don't often get to see sequels being that good.
The story is undoubtedly the main strength of this installation. After the first 10% of the book, the story really really picks up, putting the poor, unsuspecting reader into a constant state of excitement and nervousness. This will sound silly, but I swear I was more worried for Kitty at some points than she was for herself. :)
The story is the direct conclusion of the first book - the two are more strictly related than the other parts of the series.
A war is waging in Denver, where Kitty was forced to return, and she once again has to decide whether to flee or to make a stand and fight to the death.
In terms of characters and character development, the book does remarkably good, given the same place and many of the same key characters as the first book. Kitty has arrived to the end of her journey that began when she decided that she wanted an own life; she has, indeed, fully grown up during the year of her exile. She still has her doubts, her fears, although everyone else recognizes her power (and authority).
We also get to know some other characters better, for example Rick and detective Hardin, who both get to play key roles in the story. Kitty's family also gets some more attention than in the previous books.
To be honest, I was surprised by the ending, judging from the previous books of the series. I'm not going to spoil it for you, go read it if you're curious! :)
I cannot really find anything against the book. Deserves every single star in my rating!
I'm also a bit sad, having finished this book. This kind of performance is very rare, and any book that I'll read after this will almost certainly pale in comparison. For me, this book concludes the series; the Kitty went a full circle, returned to where it all started. This book ties up almost all threads (very few loose ends), and it's clear that the following books of the series have to find a different focus, which, I'm afraid, won't live up to my expectations after these fabulous four books. But I have hope and faith in the author; she has really proven herself to me!
Overall, there's absolutely no excuse for not reading this book if you have began the series. And if you haven't yet started the series, what on the earth are you doing here, go and begin reading the first book!
(No, I don't think I've ever enjoyed a book or a series so much, either.)

Quotes Shdnx Liked
“All right. I'll bite. Here's what I think, with the caveat that I may be wrong. I think we're here to make the world a better place than we found it. I think we don't always deserve the cards we're dealt, good or bad. But we are judged by how we play the cards we're dealt. Those of us with a bum deal that makes it harder to do good -- we just have to work a little more is all. There's no destiny. There's just muddling through without doing to much damage.”

“I looked at my two wolves. When I knelt they came to me rubbed against me smelling me and I stroked them. "Thank you for believing in me " I said and maybe they understood and maybe they didn't.”
