Not Quite Free by Kaye DraperMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
So Much Emotion
I left a big gap between reading Book 4 of this series and reading this book, and I can’t think why, because it’s a wonderful series. I think I got distracted with a big series re-read because I was feeling depressed (it always cheers me up to read something familiar) and when I finished the big series this book had moved down my kindle somewhat and it got hidden. I’m so glad I dug it out today and dove back into Sam’s world.
Sam has been named Viceroy of his town by the Sovereign, the phoenix, Theo. Sam is still trying to keep their mates safe by staying away from them, but they are slowly unravelling towards becoming feral, like all mated shifters who stay away from their mates. Sam believe that as they are a cur, only half a shifter, they won’t be as severely affected but everyone else is not so sure.
Angel decides to save Sam from themself, by interfering in the estrangement, and as always he pays the price for his devotion to Sam.
This book in the series is full of revelations about people’s feelings. Sam isn’t the only one hiding their feelings and scared to admit what’s going on, mainly because of Sam’s reactions, because they are so broken by the way they were raised and society hasn’t helped since leaving the shifter community behind, in order to protect themself.
Though there is still quite a lot of action in this book, there is even more emotion and there was a definite lump in my throat in several sections. Sam and their mates are so badly hurt by society and I just want to give them all a big hug. They are all so unsure of their own worth.
