This series is honestly underrated in my opinion.
I really love the development that mainly Lincoln has had through this series. Charlie has grown as well, but more or less she's stayed true to herself, she's just grown up a little and is more self-assured. This book also really shows exactly why Lincoln was able to fall in love with her and not Lady Harcourt, Charlie has compassion for others.
The plot of this book, was a little all over the place in some aspects. It set up a lot, and left a lot unresolved at the same time. There's the drama of the shifter problem, someone is stalking Lincoln's mother, they're planning a wedding, and there's the mystery of what's going on with Alice. I think one of those story lines could have been cut. Or reduced. I still very much enjoyed this book, even though it was kind of a filler, but it was filler for character development. Which I like to see.
The tension of how to solve the shifter problem, and the connection to the Royal family makes solving the murder and finding justice more complicated. Lincoln met more of the family on his mother's side, and I'm not sure what their role will be in the rest of the series. With only two books left, I really hope that they have some kind of role to play other than a curious sister and and an angry brother in the background.
