Spoiler warning! 

THIS IS HOW YOU DO THE AMNESIA TROPE! Omg I felt like I had no idea what was going on for the first 20-ish percent of the book, but just figured it jumped back in time, but things weren't adding up. And then BAM! amnesia trope. What a twist. Fully enjoyed it. 

As for the book itself, my god it should've been named heart-WRENCH! I was crying or on the verge of crying more often then not throughout this entire book. The way the alphas dealt with the conflict seemed a little off-brand in that they kind of stood aside and let things happen for the majority of the book, but it kind of reminded me of how Thomas handled things, so I told myself that they were trying to be more like Thomas since we didn't get any glimpses into their heads for this book. The slow reintroduction of what Robbie was missing was so heart breaking, but so well done because you as the reader didn't know what happened either. The bad guy got exponentially more evil in this one, and I can't wait for him to frickin die already. Will be diving directly into the next book in short order.
