Synopsis
This
is the 2nd book in this trilogy; it starts with a look at one of
Maggie’s former lives in London. It introduces a dark mysterious creature of
pure evil that is intent on killing Maggie.
Eran
& Maggie continue their romance, with Eran not allowing the luxury of intimacy,
which may get in the way of his responsibility as guardian. Maggie thought she
was safe until an old enemy arrives with a dire threat of a battle with the world’s
most evil creatures. Maggie and Eran only have a few days to prepare.
Maggie
discovers her true identity and why her enemies won’t give up until Maggie is
dead!
Review
The plot unfolds through this 2nd book, introducing new characters such as Campion and Ms Beedenwig (whom I loved), and developing those from book 1. Maggie & Eran's history develops through the book and is a vast improvement from book 1. A lot of the unanswered questions and depth to the story are dealt with in this book.We learn about Maggie and Eran’s past lives and what Eran has had to endure to keep her safe. Some of the history is heartbreaking and you really feel for Eran. Laury’s writing has improved so much from book 1, it is more polished and the story makes much more sense.
The
development of Ezra, Rufus and Felix’s characters was rather predictable, but
it does pull the small group of house mates together in a good way and also
makes sense as to why 2 men, a woman and an 18yr old girl would be living together.
The editing
in this book is so much better than book 1, but it is such a shame there is so
many spelling mistakes in the kindle edition (can’t say about the paperback
version as I haven’t read it.
Finally I’m
glad I bought the trilogy after all the books were written, as I probably
wouldn’t have bought book 2 & 3. I would recommend reading book 2 before
making a decision as to whether to continue with the trilogy, as book 2 really
is such a big improvement on book 1.
