Dark Reflections #5
Burned
Adri Paige still feels like she and Alec Graves are meant to be together, but that requires she get past what happened in Minnesota. Alec's actions cost her the most important people in her life, and that's something she couldn't forget even if she wanted to.
If it was just up to Adri she would stay isolated and nurse her wounds, but the Coun'hij are marshaling their forces for another blow against the Resistance, and without her help more of her friends will die.
Alec Graves finally has the power to overthrow the tyrants who've been oppressing the North American shape shifters for hundreds of years, but all it will take is a single misstep to destroy everything he's been working towards—including what's left of his relationship with Adri.
His father's reach extends further than anyone in the Resistance realizes and this time Kaleb is targeting Alec and Adri directly.

This started out a little slow for me, but once we got into the meat of dissension in the home camp and the action scenes, I started to get into it. The action, fighting and introduction of new characters had me on the edge of my seat and turning pages as fast as I could. Alec and Adri's challenges were enough to make crazy because I would like to reach out and shake both of them, however, now I am anxiously awaiting the next book to see what happens. I am HEA kind of girl, so I am hoping Dean doesn't disappoint. :-)

I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.
So, this is the fifth book in the series so I'm not going to rehash the synopsis and the previous four books for you. Instead, I will just launch straight into this one, although, be warned! It may contain mild spoilers from the first four books, but I'll try to keep it as generic as possible.
Adri is still grieving and reeling from what happened in Minnesota and as such, can't bring herself to be civil to Alec. He is trying to make things easier for her as he does understand but he is also dealing with a lot of pressure from every which way.
The story that is told inside this book is speeding up and gaining momentum. It is an action packed book but there is still a thin trickle of romance for the die-hard romantics like me. Things are never straight forward for Adri and Alec, although I sometimes wish they could catch a break!, and never more so than here. Instead of a love triangle, Dean has gone one further and made it a love quadrangle! I am really hoping that Alec and Adri get their HEA even though this is an alternate universe.
We have new threats, old threats, conspiracies, betrayal, love - it's all here. This is a series that is getting better with each book. Highly recommended by me.

"I received a free copy of this book in return for a fair and honest review."
As I read Burned I remember how much I have always loved the main people of the stories. I have always had a love for the relationship that Alec and Adri have in the stories. I have also always disliked anyone in the stories that comes between them. Even given that this story still keep me till the very end with the hope that it will all work out for them and the rest of the main people from the original stories. It still amazes me how I can tie the reflection and dark reflection together and see the developing. How the different choices in the stories result in the way they turn out. I loved the book and can't wait till the next and will just have to keep holding my breath it goes the way I hope
