Because he's able to think for himself and he loves his family at the same time, he was the best guy to deal with the rot destroying his family from the inside out. Even though he doesn't fall in with the party line and play the good little soldier like his family demands, he's very loyal, and family matters to him. Even though he can kill without remorse when necessary, he doesn't kill wantonly, and he's never a bully. He truly believes in protecting the innocents and fighting the good fight, even at his own personal cost. I think Eddie really rolled with the punches, dealt with a lot here, and came out on top, the hard way. He got a painful wakeup call, and I experienced the gauntlet of emotions he faced as he realized his family wasn't the court of knights in golden armor that he believed they were. He started out kind of arrogant, so assured of his place in the world. I loved Eddie! Although I still love John Taylor from the Nightside series, I think I like Eddie more, because I got to see him as a fully developed character who evolved over the course of this book. He incorporated all the humor which will make me laugh out loud, the angsty moments, and some thrilling/scary/downright horrific moments as well. This book takes my love of James Bond spy movies and supernatural stories and makes a wonderful hybrid, but it has Simon R. I was a little worried that I wouldn't like it as much as the Nightside series, but boy was I wrong. Five stars stands for awesome, and that's what this book is! I loved it.
