Indigo and Drew are both dominants, so there was a similar struggle to what we saw with Riley and Mercy -- HMMM does it say something that the Kincaid boys can handle a dominant woman? I have to say, it makes them some of my favorite men of the series. I buddy read this with Anne (she's giving it 3.5 stars) and she pointed out that Drew was especially romantic and I have to agree -- it takes a certain kind of loving respect for their partner to take on these dominant woman that is very romantic. OH and hot. This book rivals Riley and Mercy's for it's sizzle factor (but I think that's just a shifter/changeling thing). Indigo is initially a bit abrasive for my taste but I think it's understandable considering her role in the pack.
I think the disappointment for me was in the overall story arch - the outset suggested we were going to have some MAJOR developments in terms of the Psy-council, ghost, and potentially the inevitable clash between the changelings and the Psy. And then we waited. And waited. And waited. Finally things happened, but it wasn't until basically the very end and now we'll be (hopefully) seeing some of the sparks I was hoping for in this book in the next one instead. But at least we arrived at that point!
I listened to this as I always do, because I adore Angela Dawe's narration. This time that might have hurt my experience a bit, but in no fault to the narration. I just was really distracted by life and listening allowed me to drift from the story a lot more than reading would have. This is one I would consider rereading sooner than later to see if my opinion is improved at all.
