 I was so intrigued by him in all the other books and were really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately it was quite a disappointment. I thought Chase and his abuse were bad; Lothaire was worse. In 75% of the book, he belittled his bride and made her life a living hell. The only good part of the book was when (view spoiler)[Ellie was kidnapped by the Valkyrie coven. (hide spoiler)]
