this book was a little slow and though it was a necessary step in the series, I didn't like it as much as some of the other books in this series. All in all I have enjoyed reading this . . . series. Maybe I'll change it up and say Saga (for all of our Scandinavian folks or descendants of) I enjoyed reading this saga so far. I'm in the middle of book 6 (Extinction) now.

This book was geared more to the supernatural so I was not into this book as much as his other books.

There are some good moments in this book, but for some reason, I got tired of reading some parts and the compulsions of a Carpathian for his lifemate. Maybe I've read too many of this series because I felt I needed a break after finishing this book. I like this author and some of this series, but this one didn't flow (for me) as naturally as some of the others. However, this is the author's world and she can assign behaviors and expectations to her characters as she wants.

I liked some of her other books better but it was a good read.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others.  It seemed like it wasn't wrote as well.  Ms. Harris appeared to want to get to the end of it in a hurry.  The new characters that are introduced in this one aren't described well and the familiar characters don't form any kind of true bond with them.  The newer characters (were-panthers) that were wrote about last book aren't developed anymore in detail either even though it's were-animals getting shot.  I think the idea of the book was a good one but it was almost like Ms. Harris treated this as a middle book that she had a lot to get accomplished in and was going to do it in a very little amount of pages.  Just too rushed.  You have to read it though if you are a fan of the series because some things get said that I think you may want to know for the next book.  I'll probably continue reading but if this is the way she is going to continue with writing the series then I may not read many more of her books.

For some reason I had a hard time reading this book and I really can't say why. I think maybe there were just too many trippy moments in this book. I typically like books about the supernatural but this one, not so much. There was a weird flow to the book as I was reading it, for me the story did not seamlessly flow together like so many other supernatural books I have read it felt choppy and awkward. The characters were ok but I never connected with any of them like I often do in books. I didn't hate the book but at the same time there several moments where I almost just quit reading the book without much worry about the end. There were times that I would just graze over a page just to pull out enough information to keep me moving through the book. This is not one of those books I will revisit to read again, once was enough for me. I am sure it is just me and my particular taste in books, I am sure there are others out there who will love and did love this book, I am just not one of them.

I did like this book. I didn't love it like some of the others. I felt that the relationship between the h an H wasn't as hot in their own book as it was portrayed in the last one.  Also the setup for the next couple I felt took away from who I was reading about. I also wanted maybe some more interaction from previous characters that I loved but they were missing.  The plot was very good and interesting and I had to know what was going to happen. So all in all if you like the series you must read it.  But if your looking for hot steamy romance between the h and H I felt they were lacking a little.

I enjoyed the first three books in this series so much that I used my monthly prime benefit to borrow this fourth book.  And I also enjoyed this book because I'm familiar with some of the characters, and I relish getting back into the wonderful world that this author has created.

This book, though, didn't please me quite as much as the others did.  I think it was because I just couldn't connect with the Heroine.  Ian, her love interest, was pretty well developed.  Fiona, however, just didn't get there for me.  Her character was not well defined, and I just didn't feel the romance between the two.

Which was a shame, really--because this one had a pretty good plot.  But I wanted a Heroine that was deserving of success, both in her career and her love life.  Fiona just didn't quite fit the bill, sorry to say.

I will, however, continue with the series because it was still a decent read for me.

No it just wasn't really there for me. As I was reading it I was actually thinking ways up in my head that it could have been written better. I know there are more books in this series but the characters just aren't really the kind to make you want to KNOW what's going to happen.

Its a ok book but I did not enjoy this book as much as some of your others.

Not nearly as good as the previous books in this series but since I'd read all the others, I had to read it.

I liked this book but compared to the others in the series it felt off. All in all, a good read. I just have to not include it in the same category as the others.

For some reason I really liked it but not as much as the others although I am looking forward to the fifth

Overall, I did enjoy it, but it was no where near what the first two were. The ending left me feeling a little bit let down. I felt like it should have had a bigger ending. I don't want to spoil it, in case you want to read it, so I won't say a lot about that.

One thing that I didn't love was how it switched from viewpoints so much. There were so many different points of view, it got confusing. Also there were a LOT of different characters, so many of them with similar names and I got a little confused. It also has almost every character from the first two books in it, which makes it almost overwhelming with characters. You don't get the chance to really see how one person develops because there are so many.

The story closed nicely. It felt like all the characters had an ending, but I was left wanting more. I hate that. I know this is the end of the series and I hate to leave it feeling this way. I still love the characters and the story, but this book just didn't live up to what I was hoping for, especially after such a wait between books two and three.

I think overall I give this one four of five stars.

Having read the entire Thomas Pitt series, I found that I didn't enjoy this one as much as most of the others. Usually I try to read the book straight through but I didn't have the same sense of urgency with this one. It just didn't engage me and I'm not really sure why.

This wasn't as good as the other books. It was way too wordy but didn't give explanations for things like why kindred was suddenly changing. The last part of the book became more interesting
