                Synopsis

In exchange for her life, Lucia the Huntress has made a promise to the Goddess Skathi, a promise she is determined to keep. Like her saviour, Lucia is now an Archer, but her immeasurable skills as a hunter are on loan, and conditional upon her word.

If she is to defeat the evil Cruach once and for all, and save her world from apocalypse, she cannot risk her talents as a hunter. But when she meets Garreth MacRieve, prince of the Lykkae, her extraordinary strength of will is truly tested.

MacRieve is determined to win the Valkyrie and keep her safe from harm. But despite the surprising force of her attraction to him, Lucia will not give in, for she knows it is not safe for her to be with the fierce werewolf whose smouldering eyes weaken her resolve each time she sees him.

The secrets she harbours could destroy her—and those she loves –and every day brings more danger. MacRieve could help her, but will she trust him with the truth?

      my Thoughts (review)

Is it just me or did all Coles characters find there soul mates in the same two week period? Really other than Ragan it seems that they did, at least that’s what I’m finding being that I’m constantly back reading threw all the other books that there was, and if you think about it, the further down the line the book is, more back story there is.

To be honest it’s the only thing that I can think about. though this one was an alright book I found that unlike the last it was too full of information, it was getting to a point that I just didn’t care anymore—but then when I read a romance I don’t particularly chose them for their high information factor, I want them easy to read, to follow and keep up with. And even though you followed fine, it just got to the point a couple of times that you just wanted to give up.

So, if you don’t understand, this isn’t one of my favourites of the book, until you get to the end.... like chapter 47 that’s when it gets interesting, good, hectic and heartbrakenly sad, really, it made the rest of the book worth reading—and yet, you could probably just pick the book up, flip it to the pages just before it, and then read it from there.

So this book goes from like...back in book one where Emma is taken and Lucia & Ragin are coming up with ways to kill Crunch, and so mostly this book is about her trying to fight off the attraction she feels for him because if she ever slept with him she would lose her ability to shot. But Garreth is a werewolf and all his body, mind and soul wants is for her to be his.

They fight the evil and well... it’s a romance so you all know what it’s going to happen at the end but getting to that point, the pain and suffering that happens to get them to that place.
