[Read for BSB] 
 The general storyline was that Rhiannon had to give a knife to the vamp family leader and if she didn't she and the 'family' would be punished. 
 I was completely in love with the last book - it was so different and cool! However, this one returns more to how the first one was. Which is fine but it didn't quite have the wow factor. 
 I had such issues! Maybe because I'm a stubborn person and I hate vamp or shifter hierarchies in books where you have to do what people say, especially when everything is so unfair. NO! Be as awkward as you can! 
 I was so pissed with certain characters (as well as Rhiannon sometimes). Goose? WTF happened to his character? He was there and so supportive at the end of the last book and then after a couple of weeks, he's all "get over it now, you're being a whiny bitch". Eerrrmm??? No she's not! After all she's been through and then to be betrayed and for people to say it was her fault? Outrage. She didn't even want to be part of the family, she was dragged into it saying she'd be protected. I hate when characters have no say/choice and then are expected to fall into line and whore out respect some dickhead. 
 Anyway, this book goes a lot darker than your average UF. It is pretty gruesome in some places. There was this one scene and I so wanted Rhiannon to act (like she did with the girl shifter in the last book) but everyone was like "ignore it, be passive, shut up etc." She should not have listened. Saying "oh she's not going to survive anyway" does not make it ok. 
 I have to respect Saare's ability to kill off characters though. She went there. But I think I would've prefered Saare's original plan for the series. I will be reading the next book. 
 ETA: Oh and the show down was pretty satisfying.
