She did it, she really did it. I have to admit, my expectations for this final book in Carrow and Grey's story were set very high. And Linsey Hall met them and even exceeded what I had hoped for.
Time is short and ticking away quickly at the open. Carrow is plagued by dreams and her fears of losing Grey, of never understanding her magic and how to use it to save the man she loves. And Grey knows that he will give up his life to keep Carrow, the woman he loves, safe from harm, safe from himself.
This story is classic Hall, a race against time. But what happens when time runs out? Carrow must turn to herself and look within for the answers she seeks, to the salvation of her mate.
Carrow is quite the heroine, all that is good, loving and loyal. A modern woman with a classic feel to her, with all the struggles and questions that go along with that. But Grey, Grey is a hero out of the best in classic literature. I've said it before, he's deep, dark and deliciously broody. He's Heathcliff and Rochester, and now, maybe a little bit Mr. Darcy as well. Honestly, my favorite hero of all the amazing Hall heroes. Together, Carrow and Grey make for an unbeatable read.
I have truly enjoyed the dual perspectives on this series. I think it's one of the reasons why it resonates so well with me. I loved how Hall used it to showcase not only the h/h feelings toward each other, but to also move the storyline along from each perspective and through their actions. That's not always an easy thing to do.
I wish I could say more about this story, but it would give it all away. I will say this, it is true to these characters. You need to read it for yourself. I'm not ashamed to say I shed some tears, both happy and sad. This one hits you in the heart.
I'm sorry we've reached the end of their tale. But I'm sure we'll see glimpses of them in future Shadow Guild adventures. I certainly hope we do.
