Alicia has a knack for closing out a series in a way that has you wanting to start it all over again. You just don’t want it to end. Luke gets his shot at love. If you read Nathan’s story then you know who his mate is.
Way to blindside me though Alicia! Was not expecting all these secrets to come out. Holy macaroni! Continuing to keep you on your toes. Alicia delivers another stellar read that will have you purring in delight.
This latest of the Blackston series brings the big bad evil to light. We get to see just how hateful people can be. I don’t normally compare, but this hatred that Alicia captured, is seen in the real world. it was written so well and shows that no matter what, love and kindness win. Luke has been hurt, but he has also caused the hurt. he finds his mate and wants to come to terms with that pain. His struggle was written to where you could feel his pain. My heart hurt for him. He is a strong apex predator who is a big ball of fury just wanting love. What he failed to realize, as he already had that unconditional love and acceptance, he was too blind to see it. You could feel the emotions warring within him. Watching each relationship with his siblings was unique and warmed your heart. The interaction with him and Riva. Yes Yes Yes !!! So excited and you aren’t left hanging. There is a resolution and it couldn’t have been more perfectly woven into this story.
Georgina is the girl that needs saving from herself and the big bad men. She will do anything to protect her son Grayson. As a mom of a 6-year-old, I could see so much of the same heart, grit, sleepless nights and unconditional love. I think she doesn’t realize her own strength.
The entire clan joins to defeat the big bad. This reunion was warm, but also powerful. I enjoyed how the tension was captured. The shifter emotions were written in a way you could feel them permeating off of the pages.
I have a feeling that not all of the big bad is gone, but we will have to wait and see what Alicia comes up with next. She did give us a hint as to the next one to find their mate. I cannot wait for that story to be realized.
If you like shifters, I recommend this series and story. I don’t think this one would be a good stand alone. There is a bit in this story, that might be lost if it is read first, or by itself. All that said, these stories are great! They all have their unique way for each to be mated. They grow throughout the story and aren’t the same.
A 5 pointe shoe read for me. Mainly because I’ve read it more than once AND I still get emotional!
