Can somebody explain me why I marked this book with only four stars the first few times I read it? What was wrong with me???

I really enjoyed this book. To me, somehow it seems even more tragic than the second book about Will’s cousin Lachlain and his mate Emma. I know both Lachlain and Will suffered so much in the hands of the species to which their mates belonged. But what was done to Will when he was just a child, when he hadn’t been frozen into immortality, when he could have died so easily if only his beast hadn’t been so strong... it’s beyond words. My heart broke for him and for his family, but also for poor unsuspecting Chloe. Can you imagine growing up as a mortal, a regular human, playing soccer professionally, being her daddy’s little girl, knowing that her mom died from cancer, thinking that all the mythical creatures don’t exist, that the fairy-tales are not real... only to find out that everything, everything she knew was wrong, that she is in great danger, that the only person who showed her any kindness when her world turned upside down would hate her guts and seriously consider torturing and killing her the moment he finds out what she became. I don’t know how you can even survive all this change without going insane... And if you do... how can you live with yourself when you fall in love for the person who showed you kindness, saved you, and now genuinely hates you... and you find out the reasons why.

I’ve read this book two or three times already, I knew what’s going to happen... Yet it floors and amazes me every time when I read it again and remember everything they have to go through. It’s literally like rebreaking all your bones at the same time and waiting for them to heal properly while burning in fire and then rising from ashes like a phoenix.

I really want to know if Chloe and Will ever have kids, what they would be like. Would they be more like Lykae or succubi/incubi? How would they get along with their first and second cousins (children of Lachlain and Emma and Munro and Ren)? Most importantly, what would their great-aunt, protovalkyrie and hopefully a goddess of Accession by then, Nix give them as presents for Christmas, birthdays, and any other holidays? Will the little kids team up and play soccer under Chloe’s supervision?

But before that, I really need books about Munro and Ren and my most favourite Nix and whoever she is supposed to be with (Orion, anyone???). I need them like a year ago. And even though I know the series would probably end with Nix’s book, I still want to read it more than anything also. Also, can we have a spin-off series including the new generation of immortals and their lives after the last Accession?

P.S. I usually do not like werewolf stories. They are not my thing. It’s not that I don’t read books about them. I love paranormal romance; I’ve just read so much of it last year that I took a very long break from it reading other versions of romance. But it’s still my favourite genre. I just don’t like the whole fur, ripping clothes, breaking bones and turning process, and inability to control anything during the full moon. And I don’t even know why. I like humans, I like supernatural creatures, and I like animals. It’s just when all this is combined in one creature, I somehow don’t like them so much. If I have to choose between evil vampires and kind werewolves, the asshole-vampires will win for me every time. But Lykae... Oh, Lykae is a whole another story. Those sexy, tall, dark and handsome creatures, so strong, so intelligent, so curious, revering their mates above all and needing too touch so much to express affection. Well, my evil vampires have just got their biggest competition for the top spot. And if you ask me who is my favourite, I may still say, an evil vampire. But if you ask me who I would want to date... well, a gorgeous touchy-feely ever curious Lykae it will be, even if he is out of his mind crazy. Somehow, their turning or letting their Beast out of the cage doesn’t scare me. It excites me, and it’s probably the only kind of shifter-/werewolf-like creatures that I genuinely like because their is no scary furry bits and pieces involved. Seriously, as much as I like vampires and have such an affinity with them because of my stupid migraines (oh, I know full well I would love to live in the dark somewhere in the dungeon, the sun already hurts my eyes, I’m extremely allergic to silver, and at times I want to go dental on other humans...) How can you not want a Lykae mate who cannot keep his hands off you, treats you like the most precious thing in the whole world, will never ever cheat you, as you are their whole reason for existence, right?
