Not my fave from the series.

This book was ok. It touched on everyone which was nice but nothing really happened. I guess this book is setting the stage for the 5th book (for Paul). Still love this series. Taking it to the end!

Not as good as the first 3. Seemed a little forced.

I've been a fan of CF's for a while.  I have to say that this was the least favorite of the series for me.  I thought Z's cave man reactions were often abusive and that M allowed him to get away with too much.  I get the fact that Z is so close to turning and that he is more animal than man.  I get that M's gift is being able to calm animals and how that talent would be such an asset for Z.

***Spoiler***
Having a leading male that was so much of a brute was a big risk for CF.  I like seeing authors take risk.  However in this one I don't think it worked for her.  I wasn't able to feel much for Z besides anger and revulsion from his outdated domineering pigheaded ways.  If I could have reached into the book I would have hit him over the head with my cast iron skillet on several occasions.  When Z would have a revelation and realize that he treated M wrong he'd have a moment of guilt then move on not thinking of it again; but, then soon do something else just as aggressive or abusive.

In the past, our heroes of this series would feel immense guilt for the slightest infraction that might cause their life mate pain or discomfort.  If the hero thought he'd caused harm in any way he would beg, plead, and grovel at the heroine's feet for her forgiveness.  Our past heroine's would take some joy out of making the males work for it too.

Z being the prehistoric alpha pig that he is needed a life mate that could live with his dominance.  M is a good match for him.  She grew up in this world so she has had it ingrained into her that it's her and her families job to do whatever their bosses ask.  She knows how violent their world is and understands the need for the hunters.

Z's behavior went to far and his lack of concern for M when he had hurt her wasn't enough.  M's non-reaction to his abusive behavior left a fowl taste in my mouth.  I think she got over things way to fast and is setting herself up for an eternity of being his doormat.  Hey, M; at least the horses don't tell you how to dress.

I'm hoping that in one of the up coming books we'll be able to revisit this couple and see that Z has learned some manners and how to compromise with his life mate.  I'd like to see that M has learned that it's okay to just say no.  If not, I wonder if this will be the first Life Mate couple to get a divorce.

Not my favorite of the series.  While I like the "Family" in this series, every brother, sister, parent and grandmother had to explain to Jill why Vincent couldn't open up.  I see a lot of familial interference in their future and that is not a great place to start a relationship.  After a 6 year partnership I would expect them to know each other better.  I'm hoping the next book, (Elena's?) is better, this book kind of dragged along.

This is not the best of the series. The main character is not as finely drawn as his others; I did not come away with the same appreciation for the zeitgeist as I did with Night Soldiers or Dark Star.

I have been reading this series since the very first.  I stumbled on this book long after I had thought the series had come to a close.  (I understand that the previous one was very good, but I have been unable to run across one in my local bookstores, so I have it on order here.)  Anyway, I was quite taken with the character of Rhianne, but I found the plotline itself to be rather lack luster.  It was missing some of the energy of the previous books and it forced some rather out of character actions onto the herouine.
I found one particular group of scenes so difficult to track that I would almost say that the author rewrote it several times and included every version.  Others seemed as if they were copied and pasted in several times.  Too much descriptive vocabulary was copied from one scene to the next.
In short, I would have preferred to see Rhianne's character transplanted into an entirely different story.  She had such a strength of character in the beginning.  I felt that her author had failed her by placing her in a story which had such obvious weaknesses.

Not my favorite book in this series. While I could barely put down the other books, I had to make myself finish this one. To me, it felt like a really long one-dimensional story that could have been summed up in 50 pages. I found the characters, so vibrant in previous books, were dull in this one. The twists were okay, but nothing earth shattering. I'm going to hope this book is a fluke, and I will continue reading the series. This book set up some pieces that I'm sure will play out in future ones. I couldn't even find Evie likable in this one. There was lots of repetition from her POV and about her feelings. I did like getting to see more of Circe in this book, and I also appreciated Sol's character. Death was a little too flat for me in this one. With all that said, I would still recommend the series.

Didnt seem to like it as much as previous books. The time travel aspect is confusing and I lost interest. I just feel like it didn't have the fun-ness of the first couple books.

Not my favorite in the series...the heroine was a bit whiny and over dramatic, and the heroes were even more dramatic than her. I liked that the authors updated you on a previous heroine's (Piper) story, but other than that I felt the story was way to predictable and dragged on.

This does not seem to have the usual wit and charm that I have come to expect out of this series.

not the best in this series.  Everyone I know that has read it, all agree that it is just so-so

For the final book of the series, I was disappointed. Its a quick read like the rest, but lacks a lot of the characters and story line that I enjoyed reading about in previous books. Good to finish the series, but I wouldn't rush out to buy it.

It is not as good as the rest of the books in the series.

I really like the first two books in the series. This one just felt forced. Its also a lot darker than the other two books.

I have read all of this series and of all the books, this was my least favorite. Although the storyline was clever, the conclusion was just too neat and, without giving away any info, there were definitely loose ends or non disclosure with Brandy, the head of the team.
 I didn't get a child-like vibe from Amy in the previous books when she was involved. Also, and this is just a personal preference, the use of the term Daddy was not comfortable for me, even if the character was nurturing and protective. Amy does not have a particularly good relationship with her parents and they are part of the book, so I would say that it just was not my taste.

A decent series, but this was my least favorite of the stories

This was the last book I read in the series - I know, I read them out of order. This was my least favorite and here is why:

I enjoyed the story lines, but each of the books in this series are pretty much the same book, just slightly different. If you're going to read them all, then you should read other books in between so it doesn't annoy you.

My problem with this book is that the heroine, Hannah, had no spine. She was a little too clingy and I was embarrassed for her. And I thought Max, the hero, was a jerk most of the time. I would have given him a permanent kiss off early in the book.

So while the other books would get 4-5 stars, this one was sadly lacking. My favorite was The Accidental Rock Star, followed by The Accidental TV Star.
