Only one word...AWESOME!!!! For the previous book in this series I commented that it was the best in the series but no it is nothing compared to this last installment. I was shocked in more than one occasion due to the fantastic twist and turns in this book. Karen did an amazing job with the twists they were in your face-all the small details lead up to them (so pay attention guys!!). Now throughout this series I have always wonder about Pritkin as a love interest for Cassie( I know Mircea is a hot vamp). I feel that Pritkin and Cassie relationship evolving from enemies to tolerating each other to friends is a great base for an intimate relationship (maybe the killing each other is a bit unusual but hey we what relationship has not been rocky at times)and what would be the next step?? Well that is what I am hoping will happen in the next book. I do love Mircea, but I don't know if he is the one for her, he is more like the first love-the girl was infatuated with him since childhood! 
 ( Cassie knows more about Pritkin then Mircea!) I believe they love each other but not 100% ready to admit. Sorry Mircea but I am definitely all for Pritkin. A must MUST READ!
