" As much as I have loved this series and was excited to hear Mac's story, this really didn't live up to my expectations. I had to fight with myself to keep reading it, because I just felt that Mac deserved someone better than Artemis. Given how interesting her magical talents are, I would have thought that the story would be better than what it was. It also wasn't very romantic for it being a paranormal romance. I can't figure out why Mac even thought he loved her. They seemed to only have sex if they wanted life essence and not because they liked each other. Not to mention the incongruities from the previous book with Tain, when it comes to life essence being taken. Tain gives freely to Samantha all the time, and never seemed to be affected by the death invading him like Mac was. Overall, I guess I just expected this to be better but it won't stop me from finishing the series. "
