Publisher's summary

His life is in my hands, but my heart is in his.

Miles Castillo has the one thing his mother never did: time. As he gathers new members to his pack and help in his war against House Bartlett, he can't help but wish that Cade was more than a reluctant ally. But the ice prince has made his position clear and nothing Miles can do will change the history that divides them.

Still, as they both confront the echoes of their past, they must learn to work together and find something like a middle ground. With nothing to lose, Cade and Miles must make a choice that will save both of them.

excellent! such a good ending

This lives up to the standard of all Kai’s other books and then some.

I was a bit worried what this book was going to be like emotion-wise given the extreme tension and cliffhanger from the end of the last book. But it was all worth it. The plot had a good mix of detailed scenes with complex events and interconnections, while at the same time moving through the story line with good pace. A lot starts happening before you get too deep in the book and it keeps going from there. The stakes of these final chapters just keep getting bigger.

Narration is excellent, as always

Such an amazing ending 😍

I have read all three books and I will say after book 2 I was kind of worried about our MC's. But let's just say they got what both of them deserved at the end of book 3. Absolutely amazing end, 5 stars all around!

What a finish

Epic ending with a very cool plot ending. Wish it wasn’t the last of Miles and Cade but what a way to go!

House Castillo

I loved the series! Its pacing was great and I loved the characters. I wish it would continue so we could see what Cade and Miles make of the new political landscape.

Miles and Cade are memorable MCs

Audiobook from Greg Tremblay was amazing.

The story was good, but I could have done a couple less hindrance scenes. I love Reece and Mia.

Emotional and Action Packed!!

This was an incredible way to end this series. The emotions conveyed in the narration conbined with the intricacy of the scene layouts is unmatched. I'm happy I read the 3 books back to back! House Castillo indeed!

Angsty but amazing

Not as repeatable as Butler’s previous Wormwood Summer series, but excellent as an epic trilogy. As always with Butler’s work, characters and plot lines are well-thought-out and thoroughly developed over the series. Perfect choice of narrator too.
