A blog dedicated to reviewing and promoting the books I love.
This is what I wish every Black Dagger Brotherhood novel would be like! It's one condensed complete adventure/story prominently featuring one couple and setting up a possible next book in the last chapter or two. The problem I have with her intertwined storylines is because it's rare that I want to read both of them. It's happened and when it does it does amazing things for the story/series/characters but when it doesn't I get to do a lot of skimming (which I don't necessarily love).
I loved Ahmare's spunk. She does what has to be done to save her family and if that means going to the end of the time and back with a stranger then that's what she's going to do. Though I'm not a fan of insta-love, but it worked for this novel and its short timespan.
My heart broke for Duran. He's never had much of a "normal" life and it's been even worse in the past 2 decades (being a prisoner and all). He had his ticks but there was a sweet and caring side to him that never really got a chance to flourish before now.
This novel had me so deep in its clutches that I ended up reading until the wee hours of the morning. Overall this was a captivating story with a briskly paced narration that worked in its favor.
