I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened, even as I wasn’t enjoying what was happening. I finished this book in about two days, so I cannot say I did not enjoy it. I debated whether I even wanted to read the third book in the series, and hesitantly picked it up as it was on sale. I was also annoyed with how Spencer was depicted in that book, though I cannot remember why. It made me cry like a little child, and I was not happy to find myself doing that when it seemed the book was heading to a beautiful, romantic, compelling HEA. It was the author pulling the rug from under the reader in the worst way. Then something happened towards the end of Lightning Rod that made me want to scream and haul the book across the room. I loved Coyote’s Creed and a good chunk of its successor, Lightning Rod. It’s hard to articulate my feelings about this book. A Coyote doesn’t expect to be anyone’s confidante, not anyone we’re not working an angle on.” This isn’t covered in the sidekick handbook. He’ll tell you about living under someone’s control, helpless, hopeless, and then finding real freedom, and how he’d rather die than live through that again. He’ll tell you about the first time he saw the bruises, really saw them, and knew he had to leave. Talk to a guy long enough, go through enough shit with him, be there for enough significant moments in his life, and there are stories he will tell you, things he will confide that he wouldn’t tell a stranger. But if there’s one thing I know in this situation, it’s James.
