Product Reviews
 (4 stars) - Loved it.
Loved it! A lot of people complaining about re-reading stuff we already know about. BUT it is a new perspective of events we've already seen (I'm really glad the first time it happend I grabbed the other book and compared to make certain it was not a cut and past, but a more fleshed out version through a different set of eyes). By the time the sex actually happened near the end of the book...I was shocked that I hadn't even missed it. Bawled throught the last 30 pages. This book was well worth the hard cover price.
 (5 stars) - Its S. Kenyon, How could one go wrong?
Like I said it is Sherrilyn Kenyon, how could one go wrong? The anticipated book does not disappoint and I cant see how any SK fan could be. It was everything I expected in a Kenyon novel and left me wanting more!
 (2 stars) - What a let down
I generally enjoy Kenyon's books; however, this one was a serious disappointment. A great portion of the book focuses on things you already know have occurred if you're a fan of the series. You know what's going to happen before the characters do because it's just recycled plot lines as seen through another character's eyes.
I don't feel like I've learned anything new about Fang or Amiee. There simply was no history. There was no new plot development as far as the were-hunter universe goes. Honestly it feels like a great waste of my time.
I would not advise anyone, under any circumstances, to purchase this book in the hardcover edition. If you must read, wait for the paperback.
(5 stars) - were bear and were wolf fun
Not a pairing one expects in fantasy but defiantely a good one. More depth to one well known family and a much better understanding to the Bears who run Santuary. While some people didnt like this I think they just dont like anything. Good solid read, great characters, lots of fun info on a world we all love. recommended for the serious reader. I think this one could be read out of sequence and not confuse you too much.
 (1 stars) - What a hodgepodge of old and new
I had really looked forward to getting to know Fang's character better but that isn't really what happened. So much of the book was a repeat of previous books with very little new added to Fang and Aimee's story. But the worst crime was that so much of the book was just...boring. I can forgive much from a well-loved author but not boredom. I found myself skimming chapters until something wouldn't make sense and then having to go back to read more closely and then it still didn't make sense. The timeline was off in so many places that after a while I just gave up expecting it to make sense and trudged on without enjoying the story at all.
On the plus side I did enjoy meeting Thorn. He was about the most interesting part of the whole book. Of course Simi is always good for comic relief and seeing her was pure pleasure. The rest? Not so much. Where we were really cheated was in Fang and Aimee's romance. We didn't see them fall in love, we were just told they loved each other more than life itself. I hate being told instead of shown. Isn't that the most basic rule of story-telling? An author this prolific shouldn't be abusing such an important tenet of good writing. I don't know if she is just getting lazy or if she is so caught up in all her conflicting worlds and rules that she thinks we won't notice. It's clear from so many negative reviews that we are definitely noticing. While there are many disappointments in this book I don't want to dismiss it as entirely not worth reading.
The last few chapters of the book reminded me of the old Kenyon. Once again she had me on the edge of my seat and not skipping a word or a comma. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to make me add the book to my permanent library. From now on I will be checking her books from the library before purchase. She has always been on my Buy-on-Sight list but sadly that has now been revoked. While I still recommend her fans read this book I can no longer whole heartedly recommend they buy it. It makes me sad to give that kind of limited approval to such a well loved author but in this economy we all need to get our money's worth from every dollar. I'm afraid this latest SK just doesn't measure up in that regard.
