I read this book in less than a day. I am however interested in the wolves from the bar that help Kass out. I’m keeping my fingers crossed he’s featured quite a bit in the next books and that we get a continuation of Jax and Kass’s relationship.

There are times when a person in power doesn’t explain all the reasons for his decisions. Fast paced and intense. however I feel the story ended abruptly I think more could have been said on Jax and Kass I liked the happy ending with the couple but it just ended without any closing than again this is a series and I do not know what's going to happen next I look forward to starting the next book in the series and feel as if I will not be disappointed.
