BLOOD. BLOOD. It covered my hands. It surged through my heart. It dripped from my fingertips onto the concrete floor. Trapped. Broken. Finished. Hungry. Insanity scratched its way into my psyche as I eyed the door and waited. One heartbeat, two heartbeats, three… It opened. I fired two rounds, and acrid smoke filled the air. I thought I knew what love was. I was a fucking idiot. Every single bone in my body shuddered with rage, with the need to rip something apart, someone, anyone —all of them. My friends. My brothers. I brought the war to our house, and they would finish me because of it. I’d thought I loved her. Our love had been a lie. Her betrayal my only truth. And now? Now, I finally knew what love was. I’d seen it, smelled it, tasted it. And lost it. I’d fucking lost it. They would pay. They would all pay. For taking her. For turning her against me. For making me believe that blood was everything, only after mine was spilled.

I highly enjoyed this book and would have given it five stars, except for one thing that really bothered me.
I’m not exaggerating, this book contains about seven or eight (I lost count) different points of view. It was mostly Chase and Luciana’s, but sometimes it was really hard to keep up. I understand this is the ninth book in a series of standalones. That being said, there are TONS of characters and Families and wives in this story and that was also hard to keep up with. I know if I had read the previous books, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time remembering who was who and who was the boss of which Family and whatnot. Though I did appreciate the brief summary of characters at the beginning. At the beginning of every chapter, there’s a brief quote from “ex-FBI Agent P”. You start to gather more and more clues about who it could be, up until the end. I gathered who it was about halfway through the book, just using context clues, but it’s still quite a surprise. And talk about shockers. I bet you hardcore Eagle Elite fans won’t be expecting this. I really enjoyed watching Chase and Luciana change throughout the story. They both do complete one-eightys by the end of the book. I think Rachel wrote that very well. I did enjoy getting to know the other characters, but I did not like all the different points of view.
