My Initial Thoughts
I was super excited to get back into the Omegaverse and I was not disappointed as this picked up literally at the cliffhanger that ended the previous books, which meant I was hit with the wave of emotions that Larson’s book always give me. The cover is just as beautiful as expected, and it’s the rare occasion that actually real people on covers doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.
Plot
This was intense, like super intense. What a read, not only did it have my heart in a hold, it also made me throw (gentle) my kindle as I was so upset and ugly crying so hard at one point! The gasp I let go, you know that well written saying, I let out a breath I didn’t realise I was holding…. Yes I know the true depth of that now and that alone was from the plot and writing!
The plot was indeed everything I hoped for and so much more. Out of the 4 books in the series I’d say this was the one that got to me the most.
Characters
Ohhh where do we start with the characters in the pack! Amaya is absolutely the queen of her pack and it shows to the depths her mates will go to, despite being “just realtors” that sentence in the book did make me chuckle. IYKYK. I think every single member of the pack has growth in their own self during this one. My favourite was Emmett, he won my heart over this time, sorry not sorry Vincent.
Recommend
Absolutely if you enjoy RH and the Omegaverse then you need to read the whole series!
Favourite Quotes

“You’ve been torn to pieces, lost in the storm… hating lost life, hating you’ve been born. But I’ll always be here to dry your tears… and chase away all your fears.”

Favourite Chapter/s
My favourite chapters were 34,35 and 66. But I loved the whole book and every chapter so much. Even when it made me ugly cry.
Summed up in one sentence
The emotional ending to the duet, that will shatter then heal your heart.
Overall Wrap up
How can you wrap this book up, yet alone the series! It was the perfect, emotional ending of survival and how not only Amaya but her pack needed to grow into their places and roles, but making up for the past mistake. Overall I couldn’t fault this, it had the impact and the emotional punch that it really needed. Amaya was queen of the plot though. I think I really learnt that mind over physical elements have the impact that they need as did Amaya and her pack. As always I loved the fact its multiple POVs so we feel everyone’s emotions and development, but I also enjoyed the fact it had dual timeline and kept flashing back to Amaya’s past.
