Here is my belief about the previous three books after
reading this one: What was the point?
Honestly, my emotions went up and down in the previous three
books and all of that exercise was for nothing. The gut-wrenching feeling I had
when Schuyler left Jack in book 3, gone. The shock and hurt I felt when Bliss
turned out to not only be Allegra’s daughter but to have Lucifer within her as
well. Pft. What connection to Lucifer?
The only thing that was quite interesting was Mimi’s 180. I
mean, here she is all against Schuyler and Jack, but then what does she do in
this book? She hooks up with Kingsley and at the bonding ceremony she was going
to leave Jack for him! I’m sorry, but what the actual hell?
There was also the issue of the timeline. In the book, it’s
mentioned that it’s been a year since the events in Revelations, but I’m trying
to do the math and it just doesn’t work out that way. It was March/April at the
end of book 3, and this one picks up in August right before Jack and Mimi’s
senior year, and Bliss and Schuyler are both sixteen. A year hasn’t passed.
Maybe four months, but not a year.
Also, holy crap! Allegra is awake! But she doesn’t stick
around long, does she? She talks to Schuyler for like five minutes and then
takes off to help her bond mate (the one she broke off, mind you) Charles, who
may or may not be dead thanks to the Silver Bloods. And what the hell is going
on with these gates?
Final Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. This book was just a little
too long. I personally believe all the Bliss chapters were not needed. Mimi’s
change of heart wasn’t in her character at all. And Jack and Schuyler ending up
together annoyed me to no end – as much as I love this couple, why did she have
to go through all that heartache if they were just going to end up together
anyway?
Bookshelf worthy? Lucifer hasn’t played with my memories, so
they’re still on my shelf.
