My Review:
Family. Always accepted. Always loved. No exceptions.
I've enjoyed this series from the start and every installment since. As with any series, I liked some more than others. This one was a favorite for several reasons.
😻 Jacky and Heath are an amazing couple! His temperment is a perfect balance for Jacky's and vise versa. His love for her is palpible on the page. They support each other beautifully.
🐺 Landon and Dirk 💕
😻 After the events and changes that occured in Secrets and Ruin, Subira plays a much larger role in book 10 and I'm loving it! From the get-go, she's been an mysteriously intriguing character. She is a powerful, sensitive, loving matriarch and she's a badass. I can't wait to learn more about her.
😻 Hasan has stayed in his place while still being helpful, which was a joy to read, and offering some fatherly support, which was a bit surprising. Again, Subira is a badass!
😻 I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with the siblings: Jacky, Davor and Niko. She's not had alone time with both of them prior and the stressful mission provides an opportunity for them to bond, as I'm sure Subira intended. That and they'll need one another if they're to survive this undertaking. I can't say I had many feelings about Davor before this book, but after it, I see him in different light.
I enjoyed the family aspect a bit more than the hunt, but it's never a dull moment with Jacky. I'm hoping in the next installment she'll be able to finally talk with the pack and together they can grieve their loss.
The author mentioned there'd be 5 more books. Sounds like it'll be intermingling more with her spin-off series Kaliya Sahni and her Cambions, who were mentioned in this installment. As always, I'm once again impatiently awaiting the next installment, which will be a nice bday pressie for me: War Games @ 17 Jan 2025.
Thanks :)
Happy reading, y’all!
WTG 😊
