Thanks to Jim's narration (fan-f*cking-tastic, as always) I made it through the entire book. If I'd been reading, I would've skipped all but Qhuinn & Blay's chapters. There was so much going on throughout the book I couldn't keep up at times. Without a doubt, Qhuinn & Blay's story was 5-star worthy, as was Layla's (which surprised me), the rest 3-stars. So, I rate the book 4-stars. Longer review to follow later.

I'm stuck between a rating of 4 or 5 stars, but what I am sure of is my love of this series. Always such a fun, wild ride full of action, blood and character growth. (RTC - 4.5 stars)

Kirk and Spock never spewed after a transporter trip. That would be totally uncool.

"Sometimes when the poop hits the fan, we should block it and run. Sometimes we should haul off and knock it for a loop, back at the spinning blades. Wisdom is knowing two things. One is which time is which. The other is that no matter what you do, you're gonna get crap on your hand."

Really enjoyed a look at Azriel and Darian before and after she becomes a shaede.

Loved it! Is this the finale or is there more to come? I could see it going either way, but hope we'll get at least one more book.

Finales are rough on fans (more so on writers, I have no doubt). It's always hard to say goodbye - to know that there are no more tales to be told. This was a very well-done send off for one of my favorite YA series. (Full review to come ~ 4.5 stars)

(Chapter 63)

(Chapter 61) Daaaaamn.

(Chapter 58)

This will be a hard one to review without spoilers. There are some fun twists mixed in with a few predictable happenings. But, I dig Miranda, David, Deven and Jonathan, their world and anytime I get to spend there with them. I look forward to the next book and the new(ish) characters. (Ends with a slight cliffhanger though nothing compared to the previous book.) Full review later.

(Chapter 37)

"... his body at once hypersensitive and numb, hot and temperate, sore and satiated."

Let's do this! Get your read on, Jim. I'm all ears.

Ah, man ... *whine* ... I want more, please.

His embrace was my drug of choice, and as any addict knew, one sampling was too many - and a thousand never enough.

Just settling in to read all day and hubby says, "Surprise, Hun, my leave starts today." O.o
