Spice: 3/5

Well, K. Webster has brought us back into the wilderness of Alaska with a new generation full of angst, drama, and even more taboo deliciousness! Reed and Devon have raised quite the family and built an impressive home in their secluded area of the wild. But when you’re tucked away from civilization with growing teens/young adults it’s easy for lines to get blurred. 

There’s tension between parent and child, tension between siblings, fear of acceptance from family members, feeling trapped and craving independence, jealousy, and possessiveness galore. And that’s just from the kids! When the opportunity arises to meet new people and break up the monotony of their lives a little some of them jump at the chance while others are more cautious leading to even more tension and discourse among them. At the same time, it makes their complicated feelings towards each other harder to ignore and even harder to not act on them. Until the moment it all goes up in flames. 

The spice is limited between the kids as this is the beginning of their story but the sexual tension and buildup we get balances that out nicely. Then of course we still get some good spice from Daddy Reed and Devon. 😏 The plot is suspenseful and will have you anxiously turning to the next page to watch it all unfold. Then there’s the ending… whoa I was not prepared for that ending! Talk about a nail-biter moment that had me wanting to smash my Kindle! 😫 I completely forgot that this was the first of several books in this new generation’s series until that moment and I am positively hooked on this story! 

I will be not so patiently awaiting the next book's release and crossing my fingers that it’s in the near future!! Gah I have missed this world!!
