This third book was an excellent follow-on to the first two books in this Honor series (Above All Honor, and Honor Bound) in a series I'm generally highly entertained by. It's refreshing for the characters of Blair and Cam that while they're still going for discretion, they've resolved all question about whether they will allow themselves to be together, despite the political and social implications. The author takes this chance to really build them into a team, each with talents and connections and the will and ability to protect the other. For that reason I probably enjoyed this book the best so far.

Love is also in the air for others, such as Stark and Savard, and it even appears that Mac will get a love interest. I like how this book picks up directly where the previous volume left off: the team is still dealing with the impacts of the nearly disastrous show-down with Loverboy at the end of the previous book. Agents are dealing with injuries and grief. Ultimately the dangers in this book are much more political in origin, though they still threaten the life that Blair and Cam want. There has to be an accounting for how the Loverboy bust went so wrong, though it was ultimately successful, and we finally find out why Doyle has it in so badly for Cam.

Even as Blair and Cam are drawn more closely together, even getting to interact with each other's families (I love the scenes between the President and Cam) so is Blair's security team. In response to political pressures Cam is forced to turn to those she trusts, including (reluctantly) some in the FBI, despite the dange to them, in order to get to the bottom of Washington moving/shaking/mis-use of government resources, and domestic spying. I enjoy how Radclyffe brings all the connections together in the end, and I enjoy that her characters experience emotional and intellectual progression, rather than making the same mistakes and dredging up the same dramas over and over again. Another winner in this series that so far gets stronger with each entry.

I love each installment of this series more than the last. I can't wait to see who is explored next!

I'm reading this series in order and each one gets better.  Mind you, they're all good, but Mr. Krueger, in my opinion, is becoming more comfortable as a writer with each book, his recurring characters better defined.

This series is getting better and better with every book! David grows more, getting closer to figuring out just what it is exactly that he wants in a relationship. Dealing with lust, setting up dates, friends with benefits, and disappointments, David makes his slow, steady and sexy way towards his goal. While trying to keep everything under control, he faces more and more disappointments as things are rarely what they seem, and when they are, people just happen to be worlds away.

There's still a lot of Algenon Lusch' dose of humor and awkward moments, there's still a lot of steamy hotness to enjoy, but we get to know David better with every installment, and the deeper he gets, the more he grows, the more I love the character.

Certainly not my favorite installment in this series, but it's still a worthy entry.

Myla is still the Great Scala and being married to Prince Lincoln, this now puts her in line for the Thrax throne alongside her husband.  Now married with a highly precocious three year old named Maxon, Myla and Lincoln divide their time between Antrum and Purgatory; each one still has duties that need tending to in both areas, more so Myla as the Great Scala.  Myla has begun to have nightmares involving the igni.  She can hear them in her dreams, they are incredibly frightened and manage to pass along a cryptic message to her involving Maxon, Hell, and Armageddon.  While the details are unclear, Myla knows this is bound to be her biggest battle to date.

One of my personal grievances with this series was and still is the passage of time.  In between books one and two, 6 months (I think) had passed between the two books.  Acceptable, yes, but the amount of growth shown by each character doesn't seem feasible for only 6 months.  In this installment, 5 whole years have passed between books 2 and 3 and while the characters really seem the same as book 2, you would think they could have shown more growth.  Another thing I don't like is with missing big chunks of time, you're also missing big chunks of details.  I like being shown, not told and unfortunately, this series is turning into a whole lot of telling.  It appears that that same train of thought is on track for book 4, since Maxon is in his 20's in that book.  Such a shame, I love these characters, but the passage of time is eliminating seeing many things unfold, which is so much better than just being told about it.

Regardless of my criticism, I will most likely continue on with this series with the next installment, Maxon.  As he has proven in Armageddon, he is certainly going to make for a very interesting character specifically when he's older as is the case with the fourth book. I recommend this series, especially the first two books.  As I mentioned before, the time differences between books may rub some readers the wrong way, as it did me, but if I can manage to suck it up, anyone can :)

This series gets better with each new book. The characters keep developing and plot becomes more complex.  I can't wait to read what happens next.

Another good chapter in the new series with new attributes.

The pace of the stories definitely set the tone for a slower read in this latest installment. If you have kept up with the series so far, expect a whole new level of unexpected endings here. I was on the fence on whether I liked the time jump and the change of characters, but on my second read; I really came to appreciate how each of the stories unfolded. The subtle details of the vignettes characters from other stories merging in with the main stories was a beautiful transition. The intensity and depth of the new characters is not as abrupt as the previous installments, but it allows for an air of mystery that will leave us all guessing as we await the next release. There seems to be a new writing technique that Mr. Brown is revealing in Reclamation that brings forth a deeper sense of story anticipation and I am looking forward to seeing how all of these stories unfold in his future releases.

This series keeps getting better.  It will be hard to be patient for the next book.

This series just keeps getting better and better.

If you haven't read the whole series, start with The Hauntings Of Cold Creek Hollow. You really do need to get to know the characters, because past events keep coming into play.

I was really surprised at the way some things happened in this book, but they were very well done and, looking back, necessary to the plot development.

We meet new people and learn more about past people. Grandma Fred died before the first book started, and she is not a ghost, but I am enjoying learning more about her as the series progresses.

Beverly and Sabine were not in this one at all. They were mentioned, but they were not in it.

I like what has been done with Mia and Murphy's relationship. It really explains the family Curse in a satisfying manner.

Sarah Woodbury brings life to each new character she introduces, and carves out a little place for them in your heart. Each book in this series gets better, and focuses attention on new characters, without neglecting completely the characters you've already grown fond of. If you are just coming into this series, prepare yourself to purchase your books two at a time. You want want to be left hanging!

Exceedingly satisfying; the series gets better with each installment, and it started out nice. A little more bleak and melancholy than I like, but wow. In a sea of Urban Fantasy (and yes I consider this in the same vein as Urban Fantasy et al), it's a breath of fresh air.

This series continues to get better with each season, and this third collection of episodes is proof.  We go through journeys with each character, as Claire finds that art school isn't all it's cracked up to be and a surprise pregnancy affects her more than she thought it would; as Mrs. Fisher tries hard to find love first with the odd Arthur and then with a kindly man played by James Cromwell; as David finally pulls away from Keith (whose anger had always been a turn-off for me anyway); as Nate tries to let go of Brenda but fails, and then watches his wife Lisa meet an untimely fate; as Rico deals badly with his wife's increasing depression.
Through it all, the Fishers must sustain each other as they continue to run the difficult business of embalming and burials.
I can't say that I was pleased to see Billy continue to get screen time; he drives me nuts.  But then, he IS nuts and he does provide a great deal of conflict for Brenda.
