“I'd heard mixed reviews about this book. Even the author herself said it was unlike the others in the series having a much darker tone.
It was darker , the first part anyway. But it was a story that stayed true to Acheron's character that has been developing over all the other books. I could have done without the details of child abuse, that's not entertainment to me however I guess it was necessary to tell Acheron's story in full and that's what we've all been yelling for in the past few years.
There were tidbits and updates of the other people from previous books, some were smoothly written into the story , others seemed just stuck in there as an update and didn't really have a place in the story. Given how many characters there are in all the books combined I guess it was done with as much skill as it could have been done.
The love story between Acheron and his heroine was ok. No one could ever measure up to what is in my mind that he needs as a partner for life.. And no, I don't think he needs a overweight, middleaged, short gal from Nashville LOL.
