Okay, I am totally ready for the next book to come out. Preferably sooner rather than later because I need my conclusion. I know what I want to happen but I need to know.

The love triangle was once more strong in this one with Gabriel and Liv having a lot of things to resolve after the events of the last book. Their friendship wasn't returning to what it once was as there were hurt feelings on both sides and seeing them move past it and learning how to be friends once more was awesome. I won't delve too far into Liv's relationship with Ricky either because it's always so effortless with them, they are on the same wavelength and get along. I did like seeing a few more glimpses of Ricky and his acceptance of the connection to the Wild Hunt (no I can't spell their welsh name).

I enjoyed the story in this one a lot more than the last book as well (although I definitely felt like I'd missed something so maybe some details went into the novellas I haven't read). I liked that there was a core mystery being solved which also led to the trio learning more about themselves and what their fates meant for them. I am intrigued at how Armstrong will resolve the whole decision issue but I'll wait and see what happens in the next book.

In the end this was both an interesting story outside of the larger story arc of the Cainsville series, but it also built on the series story arc and is building towards that grand conclusion and I, for one, cannot wait for it to be time for the final book to be released already.

The exciting fourth novel in bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's "impossible-to-put-down" Cainsville series. When Olivia's life exploded--after she found out she was not the adopted child of a privileged Chicago family but of a notorious pair of convicted serial killers--she found a refuge in the secluded but oddly welcoming town of Cainsville, Illinois. Working with Gabriel Walsh, a fiendishly successful criminal lawyer with links to the town, she discovered the truth about her parents' crimes in an investigation that also revealed the darker forces at work in the place that had offered her a haven. As if that wasn't enough, she also found out that she, Gabriel and her biker boyfriend Ricky were not caught in an ordinary sort of love triangle, but were hereditary actors in an ancient drama in which the elders of Cainsville and the mysterious Huntsmen who opposed them had a huge stake. Now someone is killing street kids in the city, and the police have tied Ricky to the crimes. Setting out with Gabriel's help to clear Ricky's name, Olivia once again finds her own life at risk. Soon the three are tangled in a web of betrayals that threatens their uneasy equilibrium and is pushing them toward a hard choice: either they fulfill their destinies by trusting each other and staying true to their real bonds, or they succumb to the extraordinary forces trying to win an eternal war by tearing them apart.

A continuation of the Cainsville saga. Good read and enjoying the ride.

I am a huge fan of Kelley Armstrong. Whatever she writes I read so I was very happy that I won the ARC in a Goodreads giveaway.

This is book 4 in the Cainsville series and I am happy to say that I love this book. I loved it as much as the previous books. 

I will be buying a hardcover copy of this book to match with my copies of the other books from this series.
