The separation
The longing
Sneaky, clever Mercy
I loved this installment, one of my favourites of the series which is odd because I don't always like it when a couple is separated throughout the story. This one worked so very well. It opened straight into the action and the story got me completely on board, worried about Mercy, thinking how Adam would cope.
Vampires were the focus in the main for book 10 (10...how did I get here? This is how amazing this series is). Bad vampires were prevalent rather than some of the friendlies we've got to know in the series. There was a lot of mental strategy in this story which felt less reactive than some of the action storylines we've previously experienced. I enjoyed the European backdrop for the story rather than the normal Tri-Cities context, it made for a fresh feel.
The chapters were told in alternate Adam-Mercy style and Briggs did something different with the timeline on this one and somehow she made it work...well. The story brought all the couple feels, as a reader, I was longing beside Mercy and Adam.
I devoured this in a day.
