Best book of the series

4.5 stars

I'll be honest that the previous book of this series (not including the Christmas book) "Vengeance" I felt was the weakest of the series, but Ms Kennedy has well and truely bounced back and smashed this one right out off the park. Atonement is by far the best book of this series, if not the best book she has written to date. Magnus and Dante are right up there with Logan and Dom and Zane and Connor as my favourite couples.

I felt for both Magus and Dante. They were both scarred by their pasts and they both chose to deal with with their scars by hiding their real selves. I understood both of their issues and truely believe if the same things happened to me, I would have the same scars and issues.

I liked that we got to see behind the masks they both wear, and I liked Magnus and his calm personality. I really liked that once he had started to see the real Dante he looked back over previous behaviours and realised how he had hurt Dante and tried to fix it. With his own past, he really put himself out there and trusted Dante.

My heart broke for Dante in the second half of this book, but I liked that there was no easy fixes. The work was being put in.

I spent a lot of this book alternating between rushing to see what happened and trying to slow it down to savour it and I am already looking forward to re reading
