This book is my absolute favorite in this series. In fact I loved Thane so much, this may be my favorite book Gena Showalter has written. Burning Dawn is wicked hot & sexy, but at the same time has a fast moving plot that's exciting to read. Thane is such a hot, dominating alpha male & the way he talks to Elin will make you fan yourself. I love that Elin isn't meek & that she doesn't take any crap from anyone, while still having some humor. From the beginning to the end of the book she progresses from this woman who was held captive and lost everything, to someone who's strong, confident, & learns to accept & to love. It was just really beautifully written. As well as the dynamic between Thane & Elin. 
 We do get some glimpses with some of the Lords of The Underworld characters in here. I liked that we got some Anya. I always found her fun & love her in the LoTU series.
