White Knight (Cornerstone Run Trilogy, #3)

by Kelly Meade

[littleread1]

WHITE KNIGHT picks up about a month after the end of GRAY BISHOP and things are not looking good for the Cornerstone Run or the McQueen brothers, especially Knight. Some pretty terrible things have happened to him especially, and if you've read Meade writing as Meading, you'll know from her Dregs City stories that she doesn't pull punches. It isn't easy to be a Meade/Meading character!


For some reason, even though there were two books leading up to the finale, I still had trouble connecting with the characters. I think of the three brothers I empathizes most with Knight. He had the most dumped on him IMO emotionally and physically. Even though we know what happened to him in BLACK ROOK, we finally KNOW for sure in his story. His healing is starting. Shay has a lot to do with that.


Speaking of Shay, she has her own healing to do. While Knight has the most to deal with of the brothers, I think Shay has the most to deal with out of all the characters! That poor black wolf has been through hell and back, and one can only hope she will come through the other side a fighter and a winner. Though with the revelations in WHITE KNIGHT (I know - you are thinking HOW can there be more, but there are!) you are not sure how she will go on.


Even though this story had all the elements that I look for in a good PNR/UF - love, sex, fighting, betrayal, friendship, magic, weres, and a possible HEA (no I won't tell you!!), there was something that didn't quite hit the mark for me. Maybe it was the fact that even though this was Shay/Knight's story there were other POV's sprinkled in (which happened in the previous books as well). Maybe it was that there were some things I didn't feel were tied up as well as I wanted them to be at the end. Maybe I just didn't connect with the characters like I sometimes don't connect with real people. Maybe I just had an off week. Whatever it was mad this book ok and not great for me. But I really do think most fans of PNR/UF will love this story. I really do think for the most part that it was a "It's not you, it's me," kind of relationship.
