I absolutely devoured this book! I needed more and I got more with this one. The push and the pull, the whirlwind of emotions and over all just everything about this book was good!.

I could not put this book down. Cass and Tim love one another desperately from almost the first moment that they met. So for them to have to go through what they've gone through and are going to have to go through in this story is both tear jerking and rallying.

Read this adventure and love story and have a few tissues ready.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The last books in any of this authors series always fill me with mixed emotions because it’s the end of such an amazing journey with characters that we will then have to move on from, though JC is amazing at bringing them back for “bit parts” (Spoiler alert - Pantera make an appearance here…) so hopefully……

(hint hint…Clothespin and his team seem lonely!!!!)

I’m so so pleased we get O’Reillys book, he has been so integral to the story and I do love a couple that are already together as the time usually devoted to developing a relationship isn’t needed and boy does the author use this spare page space to effect here. I think this might be the book with the most intimate scenes in this series, the first few chapters are rife 🤣.

Picking up not so long after the end of the last book we waltz right into O’Reilly and Cass’s relationship and get an intimate understanding of how they “fit” as a couple. I loved hearing about how they got together and learning more about Cass, she has been another hugely supportive character throughout of both O’Reilly and the team wives and seeing her strength was amazing to read. How she supported him so quietly and they just allowed each other to be who they needed to be and were so in tune…sigh!!! And how he had given her the skills she needed throughout their marriage to defend and save herself. No TSTL women here, just a super strong team wife fully capable of being her own saviour.

A book with multiple facets, we get to see and love their marriage/relationship in depth, we hear more detail about an event that was kind of covered before in Fadeproof (you don’t have to have read this book, it won’t impact your enjoyment but reading it will absolutely enhance it as the whole series is amazing) that comes back with teeth to bite hard, moments where you fear the worst for characters you have grown to love and all the emotions as you turn the pages.

I also liked how we got more background pertaining to O’Reilly that will feed into the next series. Knox and his team have popped up before with enticing breadcrumbs being laid but this book more than ever really set the scene and gave some great clues of things to come.

I’m so very much looking forward to the new series, even though letting the Wendigo team go is bittersweet at the same time

The first I’ve read from Jo Chambliss. A brilliant short and sweet read. The perfect amount of romance. Loved the characters and this was a quick and easy read
