But after being abused both physically and emotionally as a child (not to mention spending a night with her father’s dead body after the accident), Elena couldn’t process the loathing that she saw in Clay’s eyes. He didn’t believe that Paige was able to contact Elena and thus the disdain on his face was 100% directed at Paige. When you deal with a childhood like Elena, sometimes the rational isn’t enough. She fears being rejected even though rationally Elena knows that Clay would never reject her. This small scene shows how Elena’s childhood insecurities are still very much prevalent in her life. While it may seem like a minor plot point to some, Elena being sent into Paige’s mind was a great way of giving the reader insight into both Elena and Clay. As well, I feel the need to warn any potential readers about the gore that remains prevalent throughout the series, just in case you can’t handle reading about it.

There’s still a couple of R rated scenes in this story. While this book doesn’t have a lot of romance in it, that doesn’t mean the series as a whole doesn’t (as is made obvious by the first book in the series). I would definitely recommend this book to people who are interested in the supernatural. How do all of these characters fit together? How did they meet? What are their motives for acting the way they do? Each character got their own distinct personality and was left with enough mystery surrounding them to keep the reader interested in their story. Armstrong did an amazing job at giving information to the reader without making it feel irrelevant to the plot.Īs well, Armstrong did a wonderful job at introducing new characters to the series. I enjoyed reading about what the different races thought about each other and how their powers manifest. I love the fact that this book opens the world up to more than just werewolves.

As well, all of the information that’s given in this book is important for later on in the series.

This make the read drag on at times, but it’s never not interesting. It’s more that this book has to do the job of opening up the world from where Armstrong left off after Bitten and that takes a lot of information being presented to the reader. That’s not to say it’s not phenomenal, because it is. Rereading this book again, I have to say that it’s my least favourite book in the series.
