So I didn’t realize it going into this, but this is obviously a spin off of some of the author’s previous works. Like, the second generation of characters from another series. Or two. Because of that, there were a few instances where I got the impression that we (the reader) were already supposed to know something. . .and I didn’t. Not that that’s any fault of the book, but I didn’t like not being “in the know”. Dark as it was, I liked the concept of Killian’s character and I thought his chapters were interesting. The only thing is, I felt like the pacing of the story was really fast. I wish there had been more time in the transition between hate/fear to love/trust. I also thought the mystery/conflict resolution was rushed. May or may not continue the series, or go back and read the ones that came before.
