First I want to say how much I loved this book. I love the story and the characters and their development and their brutal honesty. I loved revisiting characters I have come to love. However, this is not an easy book to get through, but necessary. There are a LOT of adult themes in this book and if you aren't prepared for it, you won't get through it. It is not an easy romance novel you can just whiz through. However, this was so necessary for this canon and I applaud the author for taking on these BIG issues. Another knockout book in the Shadow Riders series. I look forward to the next book.
