Garreth and Lucia. Or Loosha as he calls her with his Scottish brogue. I loved their “meet cute” happening during a rugby game. Good mental images there. It was very interesting to see a different side of stories that have already been told, Lachlan Nikolai and Bowen stories are all told with a different slant.
Also, Garreth is just the most loyal pup ever. He follows her all over the world for a year. While she keeps trying to shake him but not in a nice way. I kept imagining a cross of the jungle cruise with the Rock and Lost City during the Amazon boat parts. I’m pretty sure the descriptions in this book also described visuals of this movie. It’s ok, it works.
After the Amazonian adventures with lothaire randomly showing up as well as a new panther shape shifter, Lucia is finally nearing the end of her quest. Why she doesn’t just come clean with Garreth about WHY he can’t go with her to kill the evil god I don’t know. But it ends very poorly for the werewolf, descending in to madness and fully claimed by his beast. It was really sad to imagine him this way and so distraught. The last little bit was angsty. You know the kids are gonna work it out, but I think the author enjoyed torturing us just a little bit. And there book ends with a serious set up for the next book….so on to the next!!
