I couldn’t wait to read this after the ending of book 4. I wanted to know why the betrayal and lies. We did get why certain mates betrayed Gwen but it just felt like it could be more.

That was the end of that, I haven't been able to put it down. And I absolutely love it. And currently hanging on this cliffhanger at book 4, which is killing me. Because the next book 5 doesn't come out until April. I absolutely love the characters love the story. It had so many twists and turns I was not expecting some of...
