And here we have a story that's a decent romance, but more of a driver for the whole series. Bethi's power is a very unpleasant one - she dreams her (and the other women's) past lives - and deaths. Lots of deaths. For most of the book, Bethi is barely coherent, as she struggles with the dreams - trying to avoid them by not sleeping, by using (mild) drugs, by physically running away. It makes it hard for her to have a romance. And Luke is dealing with this from the other side - he's trying to take her to safety on a motorcycle, and she's literally falling asleep - and coming way too close to falling off the bike. Bethi knows a lot about the overall structure of things, but has to learn about the way things are going here and now; what she knows tells the werewolves a lot more about who and what their enemies are. The arc of the series - the point of these young women existing - becomes clear in this book, and now they know the next steps, and some of what the threats are. I do want to read the rest of the series - and I really want to read Luke's POV on this one! ( )
