If you read SECRETS OF THE FOG by Jaye Shields, you know that Sparrow, Tera, the Knights of the Fog, the aunts, a vampire & shifter as well as a quetzalem, battled Chaos and her demons to protect the human world. You know that Tera and Sabin had their happily-ever-after and that Sparrow was saved from death by the blood of Pyrrhus, the sexy quetzalem/dragon. You know that in the last chapter, Sparrow left several frantic messages about her mother, Egret, having gone missing. I love that Jaye takes us back not only to that time at the beginning of SECRETS OF THE SKY, but also gives a backstory for Sparrow's mother, Egret. We're given a glimpse into the secret of Sparrow Reed's father and why this petite blond witch with a back full of bird tattoos is so special.SECRETS OF THE SKY by Jaye Shields is so action-packed that it's hard to catch your breath except when you're forced to put this amazing story down. Had I the opportunity, I know I never would have put it down because I was so captured by the story of Rowan and Sparrow, as well as the second romance that belongs to Sparrow's mother, Egret - I'm not saying any more because it's a spoiler. Amazing characters abound in this series, the aunts - Morgana and Melissandra Reed - the fellow Knights of the Fog, and Pyrrhus, the Quetzalem who you begin to think is not such a good guy until he proves himself to be just that and more, and then - the bad guys, who are truly nasty! The aunts still fascinate us and make us laugh because they are just so adorable but we get to know Egret a bit better and learn of her lost love.I highly recommend SECRETS OF THE SKY, the second book in the Immortals In Alameda series by Jaye Shields to anyone who loves a splendid mix of fantasy/mythology and paranormal elements, splendid characters - both main and secondary- action, action, and more action, and a romance that will have sighing with relief, as well as a secondary romance that will have you reaching for tissues. I'm going to be totally honest and tell you that this ending tore me up emotionally. I could barely read the last chapter through my tears. At one point, I was actually sobbing. This was the most emotionally charged ending I've ever read and I've read many that have left me in tears but never one that made me sob.***eARC provided by author in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.
