If so, I hoped my last thoughts were of Ian. I wanted to remember his cocky grin, his quick wit, his bone-deep loyalty and his ferocious courage. Most of all, I wanted to relive what I’d felt when I was in his arms. I’d never before felt so completely exposed yet wholly accepted. Cherished. Maybe even loved, if we’d had more time . . . With a hard swipe, I dashed away the tears that snuck down my cheeks. I couldn’t let myself dwell on Ian.

The plot twist at the end of this was just perfect!

Overall I really loved this book. A bit less of the steam than the first book. I also think Ian has lost a bit of his personality over this series. I started to miss his snark and flirting, it's just not very obvious. I was glad though that Ian was the one chasing after Veritas and not the other way around. With his reputation I think it wouldn't have felt good at all. The lengths that he goes to get Veritas back are just mwah perfecto!

Also the scene with Vlad and Leila at the beginning was just perfect. I really really really hope Frost writes another Vlad book like she's threatening. Vlad is life.

“Clever, calculating, and cruel.” Ian’s voice dropped to an insinuating purr. “No wonder I married you.”
