Rate & take







This is book two in the Cauld Ane series, so called because it's the term used to label the unique Gunnach clan. We first meet the character Pepper in book one but with very limited exposure. What I did read of her I enjoyed. In this book I found her kind of annoying with her whiny neurotic self, but I continued with the story because I liked the plot and the other characters.

At the end of the book we know which member of the Gunnach family will be featured in the next book as he comes in contact with his one true mate, who interestingly enough wants nothing to do with him. I think that just may be good reading, especially given Pepper will be limited or non-existent as a character in the coming series, just like her namesake she is good only in small doses.
