Auden is a hard FMC to love but only because so much of her character is hidden due to the Silence training she had. Once she gets to open up and really feel she is much easier to love!

Remi is great as the protective new Alpha of a rag tag pack of cats. As they spend more time together Auden really comes into her own - from placid drone like female to protective, mother to be, even though she was not exactly consulted before being impregnated!

Poor Auden has endured some horrid experimentation at the hands of her so-called family and I relished the finale when her "family" got some comeuppance!

I did struggle with the backstory and continuing story ARC between all the different factions. I love a solid world but this was really quite heavy in parts and I felt it slowed the narration of the story down.

Sadly not my favourite story in the story so far but that wasn't really the characters fault - it was just a wee bit bogged down in backstory for me.
