This is book 4 in the series, but this time the focus is away from Sam and Lock and most of the apocalyptic style magic, death and mayhem, and looks at Mark and Alex's origins story.
Loved seeing their relationship develop and learning about Mark's tragic backstory and seeing his emotional healing. They are the perfect pair and although they had a bumpy start their connection was powerful.
This was a nice tangent to the series, it's certainly less violent than it's predecessors mainly as the focus isn't on the psychopath couple, but I loved the bonds it explored, and Alex adjusting to his new life.
The multiple POV tie in with the other books and shows the threads all coming together for the big shows downs still to come.
✨ M/M romance, vampires, trauma and healing, mate bonds, elemental powers.
