As this was the last book in this series, there will be spoilers for the previous books and the series as a whole, but not for this particular book. This book is, by far, the shortest of the bunch. A bit confusing since the premise of the series is Jim saving seven souls, and there are only six books. This is a twofer, two souls to be saved and/or lost in this book, yet it’s the shortest. Overall, I liked this book for the romance (finally) Jim and Sissy were able to explore. At least a little bit. Yet it seemed as though the author was just ready to pack it in with this series and end it already. While things made sense in a broad way, there were things that didn’t make sense for particular characters. With the first soul to be saved in this story, it was a blink and you missed it type of situation. The setup of the character is obvious pretty early on, but nothing is done for a bit after you know (but the characters do not) who it is. Then the soul is faced with their crossroads and – blip – it’s over. Very anticlimactic after how the series had played out until this point. Listen, I have come to love these characters even if I don’t always love their decisions or actions. That’s what kept me reading. I was on book 19 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, The King, before I realized this series is in the same universe. This is the book that was published after The King, so I went back to play catch-up and wanted to read this series before continuing on with BDB. I can say with 95% confidence that skipping this series will not give you any holes in the BDB stories. That 5% uncertainty comes from Lassiter. He is mentioned a few times in this series and even more at the end of this particular book.
