This book puts us one step closer to the end of the Riley Jenson series. Like the previous book in this series, this was a fairyl strong entry. The mystery plot in this one was steady and understandable. In previous books in the series oftentimes the multiple mystery plots would get confusing and seem messy. These last two books in the series have been a lot cleaner and clearer, and everything seems to have more of a purpose. 
 This book takes place six months after the events in Deadly Desire. Kye has been absent from Riley's life for that amount of time, but not from her soul. I admit, I liked the dynamic that was presented in the last book with Kye and Riley being soulmates, but really ot liking each other. I thought in this book there was a little too much reminding every single time they were on the page together how much Riley didn't want to be near him, didn't want to want him, but couldn't help it. It seemed like every page with Kye and Riley in the same space together we were told how cold his voice was. I understand that he's cold and I understand that Riley doesn't want to be anywhere near him, but it seemed like there was no other way to convey that same messge besides using that same phrases or words and after awhile it started getting too repetative for me. 
 Also, I guess I couldn't really relate to how Riley was feeling. In my mind if you don't like someone and don't want to be near them then you aren't, and it was difficult to understand that in Riley's world she really doesn't have a choice. So for me it was a little hard to read at times because my mind is shouting "just turn and walk away" and she steps closer to him. 
 I continue to love Quinn in these books. He's really done a great turnaround from the beginning of the series. I also like the fact that Riley has someone to go home to that she loves and loves her, and he's not giving her pressure about being with Kye. It didn't really get to be a typical love triangle because Quinn and Kye never meet face to face to have a showdown over Riley. Nor does either one of them give her an ultimatum to chose or else, which was refreshing in a love triangle situation. Although some could claim that Kye probably would have taken it to that level (or beyond) eventually. Quinn was very caring and understanding towards Riley. I liked that he said he would fight for their relationship even though once a wolf find their soulmate there is supposed to be no other for them, it seems like a no win situation, but he doesn't give in. 
 I really did feel sorry for Riley. She finally find what she's been waiting for her whole life, but it doesn't turn out good for her at all. She really does go through the ringer in this series, I'm hoping that she gets good happy ending. Only one more book to go. I can already guess the complications that might arise in the next one based on what Kye tells her towards the end. I look forward to seeing how the fortold events unfold. Until Then!
