It was so nice to be back in the Night Huntress world again. My expectations with this book were certainly met, but maybe not in the way that I originally thought. Like the rest of the novels I expected a story to be driven by catching the bad guy / overtrhowing the evil plot. While that was the case here, it took a backseat to the relationships. This book seemed very centered for me on solidifying Bones and Cat's relationship. After the last book where their relationship seemed up in the air, it was nice to see them undeniably together. Honestly the thought of them parting is something I don't want to even contemplate. Their relationship has been established throughout the entire series thus far, and with last book questioning where that relationship was headed was something I'm glad was resolved and all doubts erased. 
 I've read a few other reviews stating that Cat seems to have grown up a lot in this book and I have to agree. She thinks things out more, and is less impulsive with her actions. I guess since she knows she is going to live forever now, she thinks more about the future, and about the people she loves having a nice ling future as well. She knows that impulsive actions can lead to people losing their lives and she doesn't want that. 
 Cat also acknowledges her feelings towards Bones in this book. While there is no doubt that she loves him, I have noted previously that she doesn't really express it as often or in the same way that he does. In this book she overcomes any weakness she believes her love of him might cause her and plunges headfirst into their relationship. She plans to be with him forever so there's no reason to hide her feelings. I thought their relationship has matured very much as well. It's nice to see a solidly built relationship in stories instead of a love tri-angle or indecisions about who you want to be with. I like the taking of a relationship from the beginning and building it up seeing where it goes. 
 I've heard people say they felt this was a bridge book, and I can see that as well. Things were a little calmer in this book, but there were definite things set into motion that could pop up in the remaining books of the series. 
 This book more than the others really tugged at my heartstrings. I won't go into too much detail as to not give anything away, but I thought the heartfelt scenes were really handled nicely, but as we all should know nothing it ever final in the urban fantasy world. There are no rules. In this case it's a good thing! 
 Well as stated at the end of this book the book 6 should be out this Fall so nice to get two servings of Cat and Bones in one year. Until Then!
