Diana's Opinion:
Okay, I like parts of this book but not all. I like the idea of Rashel...her martial arts, her cat stratches, her attitude, everything. It just that the ending doesn't seem to fit. Everything else is great except for the strange ending, and Quinn does a total 180 from the person he played in the last book.
Faye's Opinion:
"The kitten has claws..." Love it. I take a lot of my favorite quotes from this book. "The night has a thousand eyes, and the day only one." I thought that Rashel was a wonderful character, and she kept her same steel core. She was so brave. I loved her attitude throughout the book. I don't know how much I like Mr. John Quinn, though. He seemed kinda weak at times, and I agree with Diana that he changed a lot from his previous character.
