SPOILER ALERT
So good! I had been a little apprehensive about Nicoletta and Taviano's story as there had been so much tension between the two in the previous books, but the story took a direction I had not expected, even if I should have.
Nicoletta did a lot of growing up and maturing off the page between books. When she is identified by one of the Demons and in major danger, she turns to Taviano and leans far more about the Shadow Riders than she is supposed to. I really enjoyed their story and the way they grow together.
Nicoletta's past and the sexual abuse she suffered as a teen is a major part of her story. The fact that Taviano had also been abused was quite the surprise. I cannot speak to the representation, but it seemed to be handled well and in a realistic manner.
We learn quite a bit about the cousins, the other riders from New York and LA. I am wondering if after Emme's story we'll start to step into their worlds. I'd definitely come along for the ride.
Overall another fabulous addition to the series.
TW: rape, abuse
