"BEST OF THE SERIES. This was my absolute favorite. I was a victim from the fist page to the last, and now that I have finished I am lost. This whole book brought together all of the characters of the other books, and all the love and support Mercedes has had and never acknowledge. I ended this story feeling that I knew nothing about the characters of all the books. Adam and Mercy are finally together, Sam is the overprotective big brother, and Stefan seems to be the one that loves from the sidelines. In all of the other books Mercy has made her bed, but in this story I like how she was trying to look out for the best interest of everyone else and stay safe but trouble followed. Patricia Briggs has herself a best seller right here. I am so anxious for the next book and this one has only been out for a week."

— Desiree, 3/6/2019" What can I say Stefan is part of the plot and Mercy isn't talking about her independence all the time so I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Enjoyed it more because I let myself have a day off and read this one almost straight through. "
