Oh where do I start?
I read this book quite a while ago now, but I often feel that I need to read a book more than once to review it properly. I can with a hand on my heart say that this 3rd addition to the series is....epic.
But please be aware that it contains a tremendous amount of triggers for the audience! So I just wanted to put that out there first and foremost.
The book itself takes off straight after book 2, so you will need to have read book 2 for it to make much sense.
I absolutely loved the world building that this series had, and in my opinion this series is the Author's signature piece to call it that.
Claire is such a strong little Omega and she will be tested to her utter limits in this book. I loved how Claire and Shepherd's relationship got closer, we see how much of a bonded male he is, we see the love develop very strongly and it's no longer just "lust". It's very beautiful.
We meet Maryanne - Claire's "best friend" from childhood, and a female Alpha. I really like her character and she put a smile on my face more than once and added some good scenes. :)
Tholós is ,as we know, destined for destruction and the way the author writes the battles, the politics, the betrayals - it's very detailed and I was swept up and really felt like I was there.
Also feeling like you are there - made Claire's experiences even more heart wrenching - and I freely admit that parts of this book had me crying rivers!!
The book ends on a devestating cliffhanger - but as book "4" (though book 1 in the following series as it takes part in a different Dome) does go on to explain events that are left out in this book, so that does not bother me, but you need to be aware of it - so get ready to just buy 'Stolen' as well whilst you are at it. :)
All in all this series takes you for a spin that is not only both sexy, erotic and romantic - but also thrilling, scary, heartbreaking and I don't think you will be disappointed. :)
5* from me!!
