I'm not really sure how to rate this... so I'm settling with 3 stars. 
 One half of me felt that this was a beautiful sad love story deserving of 4 stars, but the other half wanted to throw down the book because I rather have a HEA for everyone involved making me want to give it 1 star since I felt robbed. This book by far is the most emotional I've felt in this series, I cried through 25% of the book. Although I was spoiled as to what happen here way before I read the book, I found myself enjoying Trez and Selena's love story immensely. It was beautiful even though it ended the way it did. I didn't know what to make of Selena from the previous book but I love her amazing spirit in this one. Her ability to embrace life is a strong and admirable quality. 
 Trez and iAm is another love story in itself... The love and bond of brothers. One could not go on without the other. The little twist in their fate was interesting. 
 The intensity I found with the earlier books was missing here. There were a lot of moments where questions were raised but nothing concrete was answered. I'm not exactly sure what's going on with Rhage, I guess Ward's next step of going back to the original brothers will answer it eventually. I was slowly warming up to Xcor and Layla until it took a different turn, not in a good way and was one of my book pet peeves. I want to know what's going to happen with Assail, Throe, and the Band of Bastards, and what they all mean for the Brotherhood. Two new characters are introduced for the new spinoff so I'm looking forward to it.
