Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Well, we’re on to book four now, and each time I think the story looks closer to closing even more happens to open it up. Having finally beaten and rid the world of Goran you’d think Harrow and the team could relax but…not so. Humans and vampires are coming at them from all directions.
I’ve lost count of how many attacks on HQ and how many times they’ve had to move. Now it looks like maybe they’ll be changing plans once again, as they are under threat from a former Council member who’s teamed up with Dragos, another power hungry vampire. Ss ever though the mix isn’t that simple. Dragos also has allies in another dangerous vampire group – each of them think they’ve got one over on the other, the former Council member has her own agenda, and there’s Lukan – Shaman….what a shock that was!!!
Rohnert’s taken his place heading the Council and is busy bringing it into modern day, trying to protect those who are left, but wondering if Bretania’s betrayal is the only one? He’s busy helping Harrow and the team too, and mourning Shelley – her body still hasn’t been found, not that there’s been time to look for it! I’m still hoping for some kind of miracle bringing her back, I just hate losing the good people. It was sad when Tack died but Shelley, she deserves to be with Rohnert and their baby. I can’t believe she’s just dead and gone, and until her body is found I’ll still have a wishful hope for her.
Throw into the mix of attacks, betrayals, double dealings a couple of new child vampires left with Harrow’s team for protection, who of course need to learn about respecting humans. Harrow doesn’t want any humans on his team to become a child fast food snack….McBlood’s for supper??? Cyrus and Isadora are still feeling their way around the attraction they have, Cyrus’ obsession is still set on vengeance against Zane, something sets good friends Cyrus and Rohnert at loggerheads, and once again its an all action read. I don’t know how many more episodes before this wraps up but it’s come a long way from the reasonably simple start, and the characters have grown so much. Harrows team still stay very true to Tack’s ideals though, both from wanting to respect his memory and knowing that his way is the only moral way. All these battles though have taken a huge toll on all of them, and I think its reaching a point where their human friends in high places can no longer hide Supernatural action, and its going to break out and cause nightmares and terrors for the human population.
Stars:  Five, another rollercoaster read.
