mom2three's review against another edition
5.0
This is a spin-off of the Caedom series, and if you loved that then you will love this. If you haven't read that, but you love paranormal romance, then you will still love this. The story does a wonderful job of weaving in the history, and other series, so that you have a strong understanding of what is going on. The characters are amazingly developed and easy to become invested in. There are moments of suspense, action, danger, surprises, and sizzling chemistry, all wrapped up in a beautifully written story that I could have stayed lost in forever. The next one book can't come soon enough!

This is the first book I have read from this series but things were explained sufficiently for me to follow and without too many spoilers.
I enjoyed the story, although there wasn't enough angst for me, particularly over the romance part. Not having read previous books perhaps some build up was in those but Elisa and Tristen already knew they were 'true mates'.
So instead of a pursuit or similar we had Tristan waiting until Elisa was ready. Why she hadn't felt ready but then suddenly did wasn't really explained that clearly. I enjoyed their relationship and the chemistry was both hot and believable.
Whilst I liked both main characters I didn't feel as though I really knew or understood them. This was particularly true of Tristan, I struggled with just exactly who/what he was. Whilst this didn't end on a cliffhanger there was a lot of unfinished story. I'm not sure if the story will continue via another couple or we will see more of Elisa and Tristan. I would personally prefer the latter. Perhaps I missed something but for me there seemed to be lots of loose ends with this pair that I need solving from their POV.
I liked the mystery and suspense element of this book and do intend to continue with the series.
