     After really getting into Elena Michaels' stories I was sure that these next two would be somewhat of a letdown, being as I really like werewolves and this book was from the witch, Paige Winterbourne's, POV... but I should have known better.  We first met Paige in the second of Elena's stories ~ Stolen; she was one of the two witches that proved to Elena that the werewolves weren't the only members of the supernatural races.  
     I really like Paige.  She took custody of Savannah, also from the last book ~ at a pretty big cost to herself and had no qualms.  She really had no idea what was headed her way, but even if she had she wouldn't have changed anything ~ Savannah needed someone to look after her and guide her and Paige was that someone. 
     Lucas Cortez is an excellent partner for Paige ~ and a great foil.  Together they can definitely face the chaos that ensued.  Another Kelley Armstrong winner that I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
