This book for me was a little different from the others. Some bigger things, I felt, I got closure on. It was nice, but there are still new plot lines that have been introduced and so I asked Ms. Caine how many books there would be in this series. I’m happy to report that after this one there will be another six. Maybe more, she said.
I loved the fact that there was so much more Myrnin. He’s a pretty awesome character.
And I was saddened by the death of a secondary character near the end, really saddened.
I’m always pleasantly surprised with the plot lines, and the twists that get thrown my way with this series. It’s a refreshing change.
As Myrnin opened the portal in the wall, Claire grabbed up Shane’s sweatshirt and pulled it on over her clothes. It was huge on her. She rolled up the sleeves, and couldn’t resist lifting the neck to smell it one more time.
Myrnin smirked. “There is no drama so great as that of a teenage girl,” he said.
“Except yours.”
Myrnin leaned in and smiled at her. “Fair lady, may I ride with you in your carriage?”
“God-get in!”
Myrnin sighed. “Please, allow me.”
“Do you have the faintest idea of how to drive a car?”
“I am a very fast learner.”
In fact, he wasn’t.
“What?” She felt a blush start to burn along her jawline, then spill over her cheeks. “No! Of course not! I just . . . I don’t know if-”
“Stop stammering.”
“You make me stammer. You always have, when you look at me like that.”
“Like what?”
“Like I’m dessert.”
He licked her on the nose.
His sigh seemed to come all the way from his toes. “God, I needed you,” he murmured. “I can’t even tell you how many times I thought about this. The funny thing is, I don’t need you any less now. I think I need you more.”
That, Claire thought, was a pretty good definition of love: needing someone even after you got what you thought you wanted.
