I first off want to say that I am so happy with who Chase ended up with. She's perfect for him. What I loved about Tavia is that she's so different from not only the other heroines in this series, but from a lot of female heroines you read about in general. Sometimes I feel like the females in paranormal romances are either Ms. Tough Pants who never opens up for fear of getting hurt, or Ms. Softy who is way too clingy and annoying. But Tavia is right in between. My favorite interactions between the two were moments of pure tenderness that Tavia would show towards Chase. He needed this so bad. Times where she could sense his conflicting emotions and would simply reach out and hold his hand, and that's it. That right there is love, and those small moments are something you don't see often in romance novels for some reason. 
 But what else is really cool about this book is something I can't say! I feel like the real clinker with this one -- the punch line if you will -- is something that is so spoilerish that I can't even talk about it! But let's just say that I think it's pretty awesome. This book marks a real turning point in the series (for several reasons actually) that I didn't see coming from a mile away. I love that Adrian did something special with her series that you really never see in paranormal romances, and I'm so excited to see where it goes!
