Literally just trying to update before the new year, but yep, I'm four months behind on GR.

Original Review:
Review to come, but... my heart spasmed at the mention of Enkidu. Flashbacks to mythology, everywhere in this series, but this one...cracked me like an egg.

We're getting places!

Squueeee Okay, okay. Need to calm down now. Heh.

I laughed out loud, I cried, I freaked out (My sister probably thought I was insane)--- Bloody amazing.

Although I would've liked more Raphael in it, I could deal for now. :) Only gripe was that I wish it was longer. I can't wait for the next book!


The book did not advance the plot whatsoever.

I can always count on Kate to put me out of a crappy reading mood!

The pace of this one was quite uneven, but Kate was still awesome, Curran and her are still adorable and very interesting as a couple despite being a stable item already (we all know how difficult it is for a book to keep up the tone after the MC gets together with the love interest), the revelations about Kate's past were mindblowing and heartbreaking, and yes, that video did beg for a soundtrack
