They either want her dead or they want her power.Constantly on the run from an unknown source, Jewel never questioned her parents motives, and if she did, she never really got an answer. All she knows is that she has had more names and identities than she can stand and this time she feels she should know the truth. So, when she overhears her family talking about her being the Spectral, and that if she knows too soon bad things will start to happen, she becomes determined to find out what that means. Jewel is an interesting character, but I think I liked her even more at the end, because she became more badass. For most of the story she is unsure of her worth mostly as she feels that nobody truly wants her but they want to use her. She begins to doubt everyone even Roman, who claims to be there to protect her. I feel like the characters were good, and the romantic interactions between Jewel and Roman were so sweet. There really isn't a love triangle, even as the other male interest, Chase tries to gain her attention, he just doesn't stand a chance against his competition. He is not as much of a dynamic match for Jewel as Roman. The flow of the story was fine, it balanced out well with the combination of mystery, romance and action. This book is full of secrecy and deception and I really liked it.
