There is a dangerous, eerie type of suspense from the get-go of this novel. Fossen draws readers into the world that surrounds her captivating characters and allows us to barrel alongside them throughout the fast paced novel. The setting was developed in a manner that I could easily visualise each aspect of it without detracting from the forward motion of the plot. Fossen has created likeable yet far from perfect characters to carry this story forward. I love how I didn’t always agree with them but could always identify with them. Jax’s caring nature and tough attitude, as well as his all cowboy way of life, made him an unforgettable hero. Conversely, Paige’s need to protect those around her to the detriment of her health was heartbreaking yet very heart-warming. The secondary characters also added to the story. I love how they were developed on so many levels. They made for a very complete and complex stories. This novel could definitely be read and enjoyed on its own but has much more impact if you know the backstory from the whole series. This is a fast paced & exciting wrap up to the mystery that has surrounded these characters for the past 5 novels and one that I’d highly recommend to others. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
