In the arms of the Fiery Moon did I find myself last eve, her gentle touch, her loving words. In truth, she belongs fully to the Young Blade, but I am happy to be able to bask in her warmth, at least for a while. I oft worry about leaning too heavily upon her; unlike the Machinist, or the Pale Star, I worry she will not truly understand me. I do make an effort to open myself up, but -- mayhap my worry is more that I will sully her image of me, or shatter the loving innocence she has. I feel similarly about the Monk.

Neither the Machinist, nor the Pale Star, have any illusions about the darkest sides of Spoken, nor of ourselves. In our mutual scars and pain, we find connection and solace. I would not wish the same scars on anyone else.

The Gauntlet has almost claimed a victim. The Machinist, who has some attunement to it, tried to wield it, and it nearly cost him his life. The Fiery Moon was quick -- quicker than I, though this is like because she had her focus on him and not split, and not being intellectually aroused by what was going on -- and it saved his life. Ancient artifacts are not to be trifled with, I know, but without a backup plan should the Icewalker be unwilling or unable to do what must be done, we may lose our one chance to bring an end to this evil.

I was chastised by the Sad Healer, of course. I am riding on the edge of a blade with this magick, but the Machinist would agree with me that with no risk, there is no reward, and that to be a hero takes great risk -- though he would never admit to being a hero.

The truth is, I ask much and take great liberties with those closest to me. The Machinist, the Pale Star -- I have experimented upon them both and hurt them both. Am I truly any better than that which I fight?

I did not return home after the incident last eve, at least not until I was certain no one would be there. It was then that she surprised me with her presence, and how chastened she was that she had reacted as she did.

One of the woes visited upon her by her lost memories is the loss of knowledge and history. She simply does not know some of the consequences of her actions, or perhaps it would be more fair to say that she has not seen nor felt them. And, yes, she is afraid. Like me, she fears the misstep in the relationship, the fall to one's ruin, the word that turns love to hate. She does not have the benefit of feeling the love of the Machinist and the Young Blade as they tell you they were worried about you, not angry with you. She does not have the benefit of recalling the Hearth to which she can always return, to whom there is no sin too great to dispel the love she holds.

Thankfully, she also does not bear the scar on her soul where once twice did twist love to hate with the wrong word.

I am afraid as well. I am afraid that she will drift away again and take a piece of my heart once more. I pray that the Storybearer feels as I do, and as she says she does, that love grows and she need not push me aside to love him.

I want her to be a blazing star, enrobed in the purest of love, that when the darkness of her memories return to her, they flee before her immanent, blinding radiance, with us behind her, imbuing that flame.

I cannot conceive of a way I could have more effectively torn my own heart out, or those of others.

I am a bad influence, indeed.

Why do I even try

Goodreads

Note: I received a copy of this book from the author and I voluntarily give this review.

Caroline has done such a good job with this series and Jameson Fairfax is a character to be remembered and one of my favorite characters, he is the best.

Wolf Games: Severed Fates is the sixth book in the series but the concluding book in the Cassie and Jameson trilogy and it was excellent. Caroline destroyed me with Wolf Games: Island of Shade. I know that in this series things do not go right for the characters I love but things were really bad in Shade. I was on the edge all the time and bad things just kept happening, at the ending I saw no hope, there was no way Caroline could fix this situation then came Severed Fates.

Severed Fates is the book I needed after Island of Shade. While things were bad for Cassie and Jameson there was some hope there too and that's all I ask is for a little hope in a book. Jameson and Cass were in a whole lot of trouble and of course thing get really interesting when you through these couples together. Past secrets come to light, an evil plot is uncovered, torture, maiming, people die, shit gets blown-up, you know the good stuff. Severed Fates was never boring, I was kept on the edge of my seat with all the dastardly stuff going on and with the drama that is Cassie and Jameson.

As with the rest of the series Severed Fates is told from multiple perspectives. Of course Cassie and Jameson are the main povs but we get to hear from a lot of the other characters and that adds to the story. I got more insight into the story and the people. I manage to start caring for a character that I had conflicting feelings about who had appeared in the previous book. This series takes the stories about supernaturals and turn it on its head.

I enjoyed every moment of Wolf Games: Severed Fates. I was rapt with interest during the entire book. I rooted for James and Cass to have their happy ending and I have to say that I am happy with the ending. It was a wild and crazy ride that had a bit of a shocking ending. Since the V Games series is set up in a set of three, while all books are connected and under one series, every three books is specifically dedicated to a couple. The first trilogy in the series was defecated to Selena and Varick, this trilogy to Cassie and Jameson and the next trilogy will center on the hunters and I can't wait.

Overall 5 stars
