The Raphael-Andrea relationship takes centre point in this story as they both try to negotiate their changes in their lives. It was actually one of the most frustrating, and difficult things that I have read in a while. I became so invested in their relationship throughout the previous Kate Daniels books, and watching two characters that I am so emotionally invested in argue and fumble around in their lives was quite painful. Although, it was so easy to understand both aspects of their ...argument and frustration – neither Andrea nor Raphael are completely innocent, but both too proud and guilty in their past acts.In this story, Andrews jumps from Russian folklore to tales of Egyptian mythology. I loved the representation of the god-like characters in the story. The sheer range of religions and mythologies that are alluded to in this series continues to stun and amaze me. Probably part of the reason why I love it so much.This is well and truly the story of Andrea. She is forced to face up to her past, both the immediate past and her childhood. Undergoing a complete metamorphosis in this story, she not only faces up to her dismissal from the order, but also her place within the Pack hierarchy. I love that this whole process leads to Andrea finally accepting herself, everything that she is and can be.

A really good book. I was curious how Andrea and Raphael's story will turn out. And it was great to see all the other characters, too. Especially Barabas, who has a much bigger part in this book than in the Kate Daniels ones (and I now want to know more about Ethan!). One thing that I didn't like? Every time Andrea ran out of arguments, she started all about how spoiled Raphael was. Every frickin' time. She made it sound like he was some kind of a leech, not a hard-working man taking care of a whole clan, giving work to honest people. And I hated that. Being loved by your family doesn't equal being spoiled.MoreLess
