A review by caszriel
Betrayals by Kelley Armstrong
5.0
Ok, wow. And I thought the first three books were top notch... I don't knw how to explain this one. The major shift happens and I found myself really liking Ricky for a change, his wisdom shining through.
I've read a few negative reviews of the previous books in the series, specifically about the Olivia/Gabriel/Ricky thing (honestly, I don't even want to call it a love triangle). But I can assure you, this book puts aside all doubts (the first three books were mostly foreshadowing) about the real relationship. Hard decisions are made, and the amount of maturity surprised me.
The plotline? Intriguing, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other books. Betrayals had a larger focus on the relationship side of things, the mystery was a lot weaker. The thing I liked about the mystery is how Kelley Armstrong introduces Fae from other cultures, like Greek and Irish for a change, rather than the Welsh Fae which are the base of the series.
Patrick is actually helpful in this book, and cooperates with Olivia and her crew, producing real results. It's more common for Olivia to visit the Fae/Huntsmen with their respective preferred champion, a smart decision on their parts. I was surprised when it's revealed that the trio has more knowledge when compared to the elders. Betrayals is a really good book and I recommend it.
