Warrior's Cross

” Preston fired into the air, and it scared him. The dog, not Preston. And then he ran off to go find Blake and left me there. Bleeding. Preston did. Not the dog,” he told Cameron very seriously. “And then Blake laughed at me.”

The end of the book left me aching for more, more scenes between Cameron and Julian, more of the gentleness with which Julian touches Cameron, more of Julian's sense of humour.
But most of all I wanted to get to know the two of them better. After three hundred pages I still felt as if I hardly knew them.
Alas, I came to the last page. No next page to come, no secret sequel for this book.
Sometimes I think I should stop reading on the second last page, so I won't reach that dreaded yet yearned for last page.

When I read the words funeral I stopped reading momentarily because no, that couldn't be true, please don't let it be true. Surely this is part of Julian's plan. I simply clung to the shred of hope that came from the fact that I was only through 87% of the book.
This book is great, I won't stop wishing for a sequel anytime soon, altough my hopes for that are withering away as I write. The only thing I missed while reading it was that I couldn't seem to get much closer to the characters and the wish that I would get to know them better and find out more about them, aboit their past and why they are the way they are pretty much died on that last page. Fair enough, there was information about them, glimpses into Julian's past, but not enough to satisfy my curiosity.
That was probably because I developed a small crush on Julian along with Cameron observing him in the restaurant.
