This book blew me away. It was like there was a book within a book. And like the subject of souls mates intertwining and merging , so did the stories within the book. I have always wondered if soul mates actually do exist. Then Kristie Cook brings soul flames into the mix. Soul flames are two souls that were once one whole. What a new and awesome concept! She wrote this book and the previous one in the series, 'The Space Between', in such a convincing and realistic way, that I now feel like soul mates and twin flames actually do exist. Its as if Kristie experiences being a soul flame herself and is now passing on the knowledge.We begin the book with Jeric and Leni. They are recovering and trying to adjust to this new bizarre world they find themselves in. Not only that, destiny has chosen them as guardian  leaders. Neither of them , especially Jeric, feel they are ready to take on this role. They still have so much to learn about being guardian and twin flames. There are still so many unanswered questions when they are sent on a mission. A mission which is unclear. Basically, they are given a puzzle, but all the pieces were scattered across the universe, in  way.Then we move on to Bex. The book within a book, in my eyes. Bex is a character who had a rough life. She is just trying to stay afloat by working three jobs to support her sister and dying mother. A mother who doesn't deserve her support. Bex yearns for love, so when an ex, Ty,who hurt her dearly, walks back into her life, she has to fight old feelings. She doesn't have to fight them off too long because another man walks into her life and sweeps her off her feet. But she is still torn between her past love and her new one. She begins to ponder if soul mates really do exist.While Bex glows in love, something sinister and evil takes over her world. She didn't see it coming and couldn't ever fathom something this horrific lurked on the earth. Neither could I. O.K., this part of the book was extremely hard for me to read. For many reason, besides the obvious. Bex suffers unbearable pain by the one she loves. The one who she believes  to be her soul mate. He is  evil, cunning, and a disgrace to humanity. I am still cringing at what he does. The sad thing is, I know there are actually real humans on this earth that are so cruel.All in all, I loved this book! I love the characters. I love the concept of soul mates and twin flames. It is a very powerful read!
