The most interesting character of the series is definitely Jericho Barrons. There is this mystery of 
 -what is he exactly (Fae? Human? Something else entirely?), 
 -what role does he play in the game (Is he bad?, Is he the enemy?, Will he help?) and 
 -what he wants from Mac (To use her? To help her? To play with her before he eats her?) 
 So, what we learned about Barrons in this book : 
 HE IS EXTREMELY VOLATILE: 
 "And yes, I trashed the bookstore when I couldn't find you. You'll have to choose a new bedroom, too." 
 HE IS CRUDE WITH HIS EXPLANATIONS 
 "I'm sorry your pretty little world got all screwed up, but everybody's does, and you go on. It's how you go on that defines you." 
 "I doubt he'll be a prince, Ms. Lane. Men rarely are." 
 HE IS EXCEPTIONALLY POSSESSIVE AND PROTECTIVE: 
 "And I am going to tattoo you, Ms. Lane, however and wherever I please." 
 "If I have to chain you to a fucking wall to protect you from your own stupidity, I will!" 
 HE REALLY DESIRES MAC: 
 "I know you're the one with boobs! They're in my fucking face every fucking time I turn around!" 
 HE IS JEALOUS: 
 "Nice tan, Ms. Lane. So, where the fuck have you been for the past month?" 
 HE ANTAGONIZES V'LANE: 
 "I am not like any other player in this game and I will never be like V'lane." 
 HE TRIES TO TEACH, WHEN MAC LETS HIM: 
 "I told you, Ms. Lane, never believe anything is dead-" 
 "One day you may kiss a man you can't breathe without, and find breath is of little consequence." 
 HIS SPECIES IS UNKNOWN: 
 "What are you Barrons?" 
 "The one who will never let you die, and that's more, Ms Lane, than anyone in your life has been able to say to you. More than anyone else can do." 
 The above characteristics will be noticed in the following books, too -TO THE EXTREME!
