Then there's the fact that the past is catching up to the present and no one knows where's up is anymore. Something is wrong with Dex, but those who knows, keeps Sloane and Dex in the dark, expecting them to just go alone with it.

Book six left in quite a cliffhanger with Dex missing kidnapped right from Sloane's arms without him noticing.

We're finally back with Dexter ‘Dex’ Justice Daley (35? 36? How old are they now?!) Defense Agent for Destructive Delta (used to be a homicide detective the Human Police Force) and his Team Leader Sloane Brodie (37? 38? 39?), who's also his jaguar Therian partner and lover, centering the book. I mean, we see the rest of the crew as well, but not as much as in the previous books, and don't get me wrong, I love when the crew are together, but I think this book was very needed where we got to see D & S hit another level of depths in their relationship. They are absolutely amazing together and their love is quite powerful. who's the top of the food chain? Who is the most feared? The most rare? Did Charlie Cochet ever mention this? Anyways, I adore Dex and Sloane together. One question what's the order in which Therian species is the most powerful? I mean, they got lions, tigers, jaguars. That being said, I did skim some bits as I'm still struggling with focusing, but it was a whole lot less than the other re-reads in the series. I love that the book is actually quite focused on them and their relationship rather than a big case. I love Sloane and Dex's relationship, it's beautiful. This book is one of the better in the series. I want more books that are quite animalistic, possessive and feral.

But Dex and Sloane's relationship gets even stronger. While every day brings dangers and challenges, one thing will never change: standing up for what you believe in and protecting the people you love is never optional.I fucking hate Sparks. An elite, military-funded agency, THIRDS units are comprised of an equal number of Human and Therian agents.īut THIRDS agents are more than a team-they’re a family through thick and thin, and along the way, some find true love. In 1990, Human and Therian legislators launched the Therian-Human Intelligence, Recon, Defense Squadron, aka the THIRDS, now a worldwide organization. In an attempt to restore social order, the US government put new regulations and laws into place, along with a Therian branch of government. The vaccine, Eppione.8, created using strains from animals immune to the virus, activated a dormant mutation within the virus that altered human DNA and gave birth to a new species: Therians. THIRDS exists to uphold the law for Humans and Therians without prejudice.ĭuring the Vietnam War, biological warfare spread the Melanoe virus, infecting millions worldwide and changing the course of human history forever.
