You can tear me apart, 
 you can rip me to pieces 
 Try breaking me down 
 but I'll never be beated 
 You can say that you won 
 but I'll never believe it 
 'Cause I can't be defeated 
 Made a mistake, 
 swore I'll never repeat it 
 Lost my heart for a second 
 but it never stopped beating 
 I smile through the tears 
 so the way that I see it 
 I can't be defeated 
 Anastacia - Defeated 
 Excellent!!! 
 To say honestly, I hesitated before I started reading this book. I knew that eventually I would read it, but I keep finding excuses to wait for a little while. Do not mistake, I was really interested in what would happen next, but... It just that I didn't want to see Mac weak, broken and vulnerable. 
 So I was very glad, when Mac recovered from the third book traumatizing events pretty quickly. What I didn't like is that she became darker. I like rainbow Mac, not the savage one. 
 And her relationship with Barrons? I wait so long for them to get naked together. Well, I get what I wanted and even more. But it wasn't as I imagine it would be. I only hope that maybe in the Shadowfever the readers will see some long-awaited sexy scene that will be Mac rational decisions. 
 And again, there are no answers in this book. It just adds more questions. How does Ms. Moning plan to find room for all answers in Shadowfever? 
 I am so happy that I started reading this series just now and I have to wait only a few weeks for the last book.
