This series just gets better as we have more growth and development in the characters and their relationships as well as the continuing and intensifying drama that is happening with the overall series plot. *To be read as a part of the series and in order.*
The threat of the Red Cloth intensifies and brings dramatic scenes with action, pain and interesting developments for everyone involved. Without knowing where the threat is going to come from , it leaves them searching helplessly for clues but they have this along with the constant tears and fights with the taragons that come through. There are a couple of scenes that brought a tear to my eye with the emotion that I felt coming from those involved. Having read these characters through five books now (including novellas), you can feel how strong their bonds are and just how deep they go, especially with Madeo and Jude.
Mads and Cosmo are constantly strengthening their relationship but here, we also see it happening with others. Mads and Charlie spend quality time together, as well as with the children that were brought into the pride after tragedy in the previous book. Cosmo and Jude are also working to build something together, knowing that each is now a necessary and permanent part of Mads's life. I also like how their building their friendship with others they work with, Harriet, Ash and his team.
This is a fantastic addition to the series! I am a huge fan of this author's and always enjoy and am in awe of the world that she is able to create along with the imagination of the plot, characters and details throughout the whole series. A must read for fans of her's and of fantasy romance.

Zachary Zaba again brings a fantastic narrative to this much loved series. The voices he provides for all of the characters fit their personalities, I especially love Mads with his ability to be the snarkiest snark but quickly switching to caring for those important to him. The intensity of some of the scenes comes across really well as the voice draws me even more into the story, keeping me gripped to everything going on throughout.
