I'm so glad Silver decided to give Stefan's sister Nadia her own book. It was a great way to finish out the series. I adored Nadia and Griffin's romance from the start. There is a fourteen-year age gap between them, and Griffin is Stefan's best friend. Those are not the only hurdles these two face. Both have tumultuous pasts that could threaten their relationship. I loved how Nadia was trying to make herself a better person and into who she wanted to be. I loved Griffin's quiet gruffness. They had amazing chemistry and were adorable together. I loved the way they faced their challenges.
