I started reading this at the beginning of the year, but then got sidetracked into many other books. I just picked it up and finished it today. Overall, I enjoyed this installment in the series even though it's focus was mainly on the Fae and werepanthers. But, we did have some fun time with Eric, and that is ALWAYS a plus. There was a moment with Vampire Bill (spoiler free) that almost made me feel something other than hatred for him, but I'm sure that will pass. I am hoping the next book is more focused on the vampires again, because that's what I liked about this series in the first place. Looking forward to # 10!
