I never know what to expect with Alicia except the unexpected. This is the next installment in the Blackstone series. It surprised me with every turn of the page. Violet turned out to be this eccentric woman with a quiet strength that would level you in a storm. She is my favorite female character so far in the new series.
One is the loneliest number, and this applies to Violet and Nathan. Nathan is the lone bachelor left. You can’t count Luke in the group. He’s a grumpy lion, LOL. Nathan tries to cure his dry spell but his wolf isn’t feeling it. I did figure that would come back and bite him in the rear.
Nathan had depth as a character. Alicia did a great job capturing how he feels and is misperceived a lot. He has a huge heart and it was neat to watch him think and act with his heart. This was one story I really wanted to throttle the girl and not the man! Nate put his heart out there and Violet tried to claw it up, and spit it out. I just wanted to hug Nate. He won me over with his good intentions. His execution…well that needed some work.
Nate’s relationship with Kate was hilarious. I don’t have siblings but the dynamic seems like a normal family bond. I did feel at the end of the day Kate would be there for her brother.
Violet is an extraordinary woman. I fell in love with her. She is so strong and has a guarded heart as big as the ocean. Oh, the secrets we learned about her. They will break your heart but it will be sewn together by Nathan and his love for her.
I actually enjoyed her interaction with Luke, while small, the dialogue between her and her animal were fun to read about. While Luke was more dominant you could still feel through the pages just how dominant Violet is.
During this whole story, we got to see and experience the ballsiness and passion Violet has for things that matter to her. She sometimes was so consumed with matters around her she forgot her own heart.
This journey was amazing to read. I couldn’t put it down and devoured it. So far this is my favorite story of the series. This tale will leave you on edge for Luke’s story. I feel this conclusion will be epic greatness.
This blogger recommends this book as well as the whole series. You can read this as a stand alone but for full appreciation of the series, I’d start at the beginning. 5 dazzling Point Shoes.
