This volume focuses once again on Sugar and Daedalus, bringing us back to where everything began for the Vanguard clan. But, while we do get to see a little of each of them, this volume focuses almost exclusively on the vampires. Having been tasked with getting his wayward nest under control, Daedalus has no choice except to return to Pal Robi and set things right. He fully intends to leave Sugar behind at home, seeing as he is not only just a human, but also a somewhat frail and broken one. However, she has entirely different ideas, only realizing when she is afraid that she might lose him - one way or another - how much he truly means to her. Sugar pulls on reserves of strength that no one guesses she had in order to confront her dangerous reality. Of course, the fact that she's been so despondent since her injuries that she doesn't care whether she lives or dies, that may also have something to do with it. Things do not go as planned, from little problems to big issues. But eventually they do lead to a resolution that ends up being a happy one for the couple, once they get past their own personal issues as well. And in the end, not only do they get their own happily ever after, but Sugar really comes into her own as Prima. I will definitely miss this fun group of shifters, now that their stories have come to an end.
I received an eBook copy of this title from the author, and have willingly provided an honest review.
