I loved Sam and Sessah. I was really excited to get into this one because I've been waiting for Sessah's story. I wanted see him finally find his mate. And I couldn't have asked for a better pairing for him than Sam.

I also loved the character arch of Sam. I loved seeing her overcome her fears with patience, acceptance, and support from Sessah, and I love how she doesn't need someone else to save her. That she's very capable of doing so on her own even if she doesn't have to. 

The only thing I didn't enjoy was how long the Kvasaht storyline was. I understand it was needed for Sam's character development. I just wish it wasn't so long. It could have been a chapter or two shorter in my opinion. Otherwise the story was enjoyable.

Holy smokes.  This one is a little darker than Ruby's normal content.  There were definite moments where I was hanging on the edge of my seat.  But as always, it does have a happy ending! {more than one kind}.  I loved Steph and Sessah paired together and can't wait to see what happens next!

I really loved Sam and so glad that Sessah is back. I think Dixon did a really good job of exploring trauma as well as adding some new elements of danger.
