This book was phenomenal. It had everything I wanted, obsession, hurt/comfort, revenge, people getting what they are owed, a murderous golden retriever, and steam. I absolutely loved Shep, he was interesting, and dynamic, and self aware. shep and Elijah fit perfectly. My only complaint (which is thin at best) is I wish I had gotten more of Elijah getting to step into himself and be who he is in front of the world. We got a lot of him opening up with Shep and Wyatt and Charlie but I would have loved more of him being who he is in the spot light. 10/10 would deff recommend.
