 I felt so skeptical for this book. After Debt Inheritance I was so nervous I would HATE Jethro Hawk and there would be no redemption for him. I was so wrong, by the end of this book I felt so enamored by him. I truly felt the confusion towards the emotions Nila had and could completely understand, cry and commiserate along with her. This book it is definitely what will turn this series around for so many. 
 Nila's strength is shown in spades in this book, she is becoming the manipulator and is playing the game she must play. And Jethro? A soft side appears that makes me fall for him and a page later he makes me hate him again. Some things are out of his control but he is ultimately the villain. 
 But as any true story the villain has reasons and methods and maybe even emotions we dont understand throughout. I feel this story will bring out a lightness as only Pepper Winters can. She writes in a way you can truly understand the darkest of dark feelings and needs and wants that her characters have. She is not afraid to go into the dark and suck you in. But when all hope feels to be lost she gives you a glimpse of light and love and you can finish the book with hope. 
 I am highly anxious now to see where she takes Nila and Jethro.
