I have stuck with this series because I really like the paranormal sexy brooding man-thing. Oh and the stories are pretty darn good. I don't think this one held me as some of the earlier ones did. I agree the main characters are strong and we knew them from before (Strider and Kaia) but the diaglog from Kaia really started to grate after awhile. She may be a bada** but her humor became not so funny. Also, the violence got kinda old too. Beat completely to a pulp and then everything is ok. I know they are supernatural beings but, still. What I did like was the underlying stories of Kane and Paris. This set up nice lead-ins to the next two installments. Many previous characters had lots of air time here. The end of the book was the best. Kaia stopped trying so hard and her rapport with Strider became more believable. I actually started liking her. Looking forward to Kane's story.
