From the start where Flint confessed his love for Eliza, then ghosting his family for months, to how he treated Ash. I get that Flint had issues yet that doesn't mean he can act like an ass. By the end Flint did get better, but it didn't make me forget what an ass he was....more

It's hard for her as they don't really take to outsiders despite her high rank as Fallon's tollroy. Even her relationship with Fallon is rocky, very much a one step forward, two steps back. It doesn't help that through it all Shea struggles with if she should share any pathfinder secrets and Fallon has enemies that are gunning for him.
The ending was a bit surprising. I was glad that Fallon called out those that needed it and hated how it seemed she was used (and not by who you expected). The one thing I know for sure is that the next book will be all kinds of interesting....more

I felt for Till, he was dealt a crap hand in life and it seemed that every time he finds a bit of happy life knocks him down again and again. The one bright spot in his life was Eliza, who was living her own crap life. Together the two of them could face things, it was only when they were separate that things seemed hard. I was happy when finally Till did what he wanted from day one and claimed Eliza, who had been waiting for him. From there life was good for them. Did they struggle, yes, but they were together and facing trouble is better when you have someone to help shoulder the burden.
I could have done without the drama at the end, mostly because Till and Eliza only deserved happy. They got that in the end, but not without some costs....more

She does still try to help everyone that comes across her path, even when they do stupid stuff to cause the problem. I'm intrigued by her new relationship with Kipa. While I like them together, I don't know that they are it for each other. I did love how Raj opened up to Kipa, I think he needs other people to talk to, so that is good.
I find it interesting that both of Raven's parents are visiting. We saw her mother with this book and man could she be frightening. I'm looking forward to her father's visit and he seemed more down to earth....more
I have liked what we saw of Raven BoneTalker in the Wild Hunt series, so I was happy to see she's getting some books of her own. What strikes me as II have liked what we saw of Raven BoneTalker in the Wild Hunt series, so I was happy to see she's getting some books of her own. What strikes me as I read this book is that while Raven has lots of friends, friends that call her to help, friends that help her, she is deeply lonely. Part of that is loosing her mate a while back, but it might also be she knew Ulstair wasn't her true mate, which she acknowledged in this book. Raj seems to help with the loneliness, but he's just a gargoyle. Ember and Angel came over to party with Raven and the girls had fun, even did stupid junior high things, but it wasn't enough. Raven helping Lana, who was in a crazy situation was good, filled a need in her. Yet at each turn Raven needs someone in her life, the person that she can come home to after all the things she gets up to, to comfort her....more

There**spoiler alert** I really wasn't sure how this one was going to go, Pete had been a bad guy earlier in the series and everyone still hated him. There were good reasons to hate him, despite coming to love Daniel and Chris.
I sort of feel like the accidental mating between Pete and Kayla was a cop out, but I'm not sure how else the author could have gotten them together or gotten Pete up to Bearpaw Ridge. Kayla's reluctance to acknowledge the mating made sense, she loves her family and Pete was public enemy number 1. I thought Pete did a good job of moving along at Kayla's pace and apologizing to everyone he needed to in Bearpaw, that went a long way in getting them all to accept him, let alone the mating with Kayla.
The whole pack and forth between Kayla and Pete did get a bit old, even as I got it, but it didn't make me want to yell at them to hurry things along.
This one ended in the best possible way for them all and with a new baby there are all sorts of new beginnings for everyone....more

I liked that the residents of Port Snow kept the town up for tourist and how there were secrets around town for just the residents.
Ren's entrance to Port Snow was a bit crazy, but she made it through. I loved how Ren experienced the fun of the town as she went home from the hospital, hearing story after story of what happened to her that were over the top. It seemed like these stories endeared the town to Ren as she heard each one.
Griffin and Ren's romance was fun. I liked that Ren was smitten and how Griffin fought his feelings. Then later when they were both on the same page, it was fun how everything and everyone ended up cockblocking them. I loved the party towards the end where the families met, the it's a girl theme made me laugh.
It seemed like all was going great, but then Griffin had a scare and ran. It wasn't surprising, but who helped him see things was and probably the only person who could have gotten through to him. ...more

I knew when the "Pride" intervened that things would end up going to crap and hated when I was right.
As the story moved to the present it started to loose me. I liked that Jared was still smitten with Banner, loved that Banner thrived in the last 10 years. But what turned me off was how Jared pursued Banner knowing she was in a relationship, he didn't care at all, in fact he considered her boyfriend as collateral damage. I also hated that Banner welcomed Jared's advances. I get that she was still attracted to him, that things with her boyfriend weren't solid, but cheating is a hot button for me and I hated that Jared pushed her into cheating, instead of giving her time to deal with her boyfriend so that they could start their relationship with an easy mind.
I do think that Banner made the right choice with Zo towards the end of the book, he needed her and I think it helped them bring a better closure to their relationship.
I loved that when Jared wanted to hire Banner she played hardball and got herself the best deal, along with the man....more

She was so strong, to do what she did and then later when her dirty little secret came out, she faced it head on.

I loved that Morgan wasn't like her family, in fact she sort of hated them and how for years she kept Liam's big secret. I thought more would come of Liam learning that, but instead he fooled us and Morgan because he knew.
I think that alone helped Liam believe Morgan when she called to warn them what her father was up to. With that one call Morgan picked a side, it just sucked that it took to the end of the book for her to be able to fully get on that side. But through it all Liam and the rest of them were there for Morgan, the family she needed....more

Sort of when, huh, I remember her, then followed her. Then all of a sudden she was supporting teachers, teacher asking for help in stocking their classrooms and she rose more in my eyes. Then one day Kristen posted about this book and I immediately went to check it out.
I didn't realize that Kristen had issues with addition. I really liked how brutally honest Kristen was as she came to terms with things. By the end of the book you get the feeling that Kristen will be all right and still provide entertainment for us for years to come....more

As this series has gone on I find I’m loving it more and more. With this book changing the narrator to Catalina I feel like we get to know the family more. It seems like in the past Catalina has just been around, more background then anything else, but with this book she shines. She goes through quite a bit and settles into her role as head of house with all the tough decisions she makes. Many of the decisions she makes take a big toll on her personally as she defends herself and those she has chosen to protect. Along the way Catalina makes some interesting allies and some interesting deals, one deal that will have far reaching implications and puts a threat on what she most wants. Although that could be in danger by their own choices.
I’m looking forward to reading more in this series, to see where Catalina goes from here and to hope she can find the happy ending that Nevada did....more

I was so so on the romance between Selena and Bastion, not sure why, but it was a bit blah for me. The one thing that I did like about the two of them was how Bastion was there for Selena every time she had to face a fear, whether in the past or the present. He helped heal her in so many ways.
What kept me interested was how the Red Team reacted to learn about Bastion and his crew. Here they thought they were the big dogs, but come to find out they are itty bitty puppys, tough for all of them to take. As they learned more, saw more you can tell how everyone is coming to terms and how I'm betting most of them will opt to be altered. Either way it will be interesting to keep reading and see what happens....more

As Nyree brought literal color to Marko's life, she brought so much more. I loved the ending, knew what was going to happen and as happy as I was for things, I was a bit sad too....more
