But Jordan is so freaking honorable and clueless – AND in denial. She’s always KNOWN Jordan is the one for her, and each of the now dead men she has dated in their time apart is a small testament to that fact. Most importantly in this installment is Katie and Jordan. Janey is growing up (to Talen’s great discomfort), her powers are increasing and Kara is more concerned with her obsession with Zane, as it seems to have strengthened. The years have not slowed growth or determination of the characters, and despite the ever-present threats, life moves forward. Another decade has only increased the determination to prevail on both sides of the conflict as alliances and targets continue to shift in this war. But Jordan, King of the shifters has never been happy with Katie out in the world, and now with him coming close to the 3rd full moon since he was infected, he must get her to safety within the Realm compound, make arrangements for a successor to rule the shifters and secure a promise from Conn to kill him before he does something horrible after his shift. In the 10 years since Hunted, she has served the Realm as part of a freelance eradication team: doing away with shifters infected with the virus and turned into mindless werewolves. In the last installment, Katie, a cat shifter who was infected with the virus and unable to shift had made some dramatic moves that could potentially kill her or cure her. No such problem here as ALL of Zanetti’s characters are consumed with the outcome of the war between the Realm and the Kurjans, and all are wanting to find that Achilles’ heel that will bring the other side down. That is not a knock on those epic fantasies: I’m a fan of some and find the secondary stories often outstrip the prominent conflict that brings the characters together. And when you combine the hugely engaging characters and relationship trajectories with a ‘fight for the world’ with battles, biochemical warfare and psychic controls the story combines all the ‘epic fantasy’ elements without finding yourself exclaiming ‘find the damn ring already!’. Each book brings characters to the forefront, telling their story but never losing those moments of ‘check in’ to see how the other characters and relationships have progressed. A wonderful story and my favorite so far.ĪudioBook Review: Stars: Overall 5 Narration 5 Story 5 I’m so totally in love with this series, I really don’t know how I missed it before.
