Figured on this one I'll explain the rating. I would say more around 3.5 than simply 3 but wanted to point out this is not saying I think it's a bad book. It was entertaining like every book in this series has been for me. At the same time it didn't have anything that pulled me in and engaged me deeply enough to say 4 or 5 stars. It was a good book that was entertaining and worth the read. 
 We learn some answers in this one to some past mysteries while Mercy continues being Mercy and Adam continues being Adam. A new character is brought into the picture in Aiden who is interesting a touch but not overly so. I didn't find myself really wanting to know much about him and maybe that is part of 'not pulling me in' comes from since the story circled around him. 
 Solid book to the series and I will continue to follow since none of the books have let me down. 
 Side note...when the heck will I really get to dive into Bran? If there is one character I would be interested in reading his inner thoughts it would be him.
