Review

Jocelyn & Jameson return, with Jocelyn’s mother being held prisoner by ‘The 7’. Jocelyn as usual storms off to rescue her with only Theleo for company. He repeatedly tries to tell her how insane and reckless her actions are, but Jocelyn being her usual self is determined to sacrifice herself for her mother. As the situation becomes difficult Jameson comes to her rescue once again. This is quite a repetitive theme throughout all the books! I wanted to see the how twists and turns of the prophecy would pan out but was left disappointed in parts.

Jocelyn is being built up to be a powerful Relicuum absorbing others powers, yet she doesn't seem to utilize them except for her healing and levitation powers. Jameson is the one who always comes to the rescue it’s a shame Laury doesn’t build on these within the story instead of focusing on other things. The book had some very good parts but there were also sections that I felt confused me as a reader. Things like calling Jocelyn’s cousins her nieces and nephews, or saying Jocelyn and Jameson weren't supposed to fall in love yet it had been revealed that Isabella knew the prophecies said they would marry and have children. Nitpicking this may be but it’s the attention to details that makes a book a great book.

We see more of Maggie and Eran in this book which is always a good thing, and how laury entwines them into the book is good and it enhances the story rather than detracts from it. The book is an easy light read and despite its shortcomings the story is enough to keep you reading until the end. Alas all of the main characters or their immediate family all sale through the fights with not a scratch on them, which is a little too neat for me and doesn’t give the book the gritty edge you’d expect in a book embroiled in the supernatural and epic fights. Once again, in my opinion, Laury completes the book with nice neat endings.

The book is a good read and continuation of the story so far, perfect for a holiday read, despite my opinion above it doesn’t detract from what is overall a good read, just a shame that with attention to detail and not quite twee endings it could have been great book.

I rate this book
