In the second book of this trilogy, Sommer Marsden delves further into Divination Falls, the hidden community where shifters and supers alike are able to live without the discrimination and judgement of the outside world.This time around, she brings us a weather worker, which is a seriously cool concept that I've never read about before. Cameron gets thrust into Divination Falls with a loud crack of thunder and serious case of electric shock - right into the arms of moody, brooding wolf Trace, who's great at pushing everyone away. Cameron's used to that, in fact, it's his modus operandi as well. Until now.Secrets in both their pasts hold them back from each other at first, until a crisis in the town pulls them together rather suddenly, proving in true Sommer fashion that love can strike like a bolt out of the blue. (Pardon the pun).I thoroughly enjoyed the concept of a weather worker. Like shifters, it's new to me in the world of paranormal romance. Cameron and Trace's interactions are shaky at the start, as Cameron meets the wolf for the first time in a rather unusual, risque way. Trace is gruff and abrupt, but that icy exterior quickly melts.It's reminiscent of her first book in several ways, but it's a good thing. It shows continuity, with Tryg, Luke and a few others from the first book making an appearance. Sommer's imagination makes a heck of an appearance here - and me thinks me senses a bit of a Doctor Who inspiration in there somewhere. But you'll have to know what to look for.As for the sex, well, again, in true SM fashion - it's hot. And sexy. And tender. And lovely. At risk of repeating myself, this woman knows how to write sex, and she does it so well, it's like it's fresh and new every time.Book three is coming right up.
