John's story was one I was really looking forward to. After all he's been through, I am glad he finally got his HEA. His relationship with Xhex seemed real, and I loved the complexity of the characters. Also, I really loved the side story with Quinn and Blay and I can't wait the read more. I just hope J.R. Ward doesn't cop out and make them fall in love with females...those two are meant to be together!
