Karina Halle is my favorite author by a mile, and this book did not disappoint! It definitely went in a different direction then I was expecting and that made me love it even more. I am one of the minority who is Team Javier and he really shows his true colors in this second book. He explains what really happened the night he broke Ellie's heart finding him in bed with another woman and holy cow, that was rough to read about! And still I love Javier...am I crazy?? Ellie will do just about anything to ensure Camden's safety but she quickly comes to the conclusion that Cam is back with his ex and child and they have a happy family and he won't come for her. So Ellie turns to Javier and it is obvious she still has a major connection with him. Ellie is connected forever to Camden since they grew up together and are in love, and basically Camden is naive and innocent which draws Ellie to him, everything she would like to be. And Javier is black and evil and dangerous and sexy, also drawing Ellie to him like a moth to a flame. Gus mentions that Ellie has never been black or white, always grey, and after this book that is exactly how I feel about Camden and Javier - both of them are moving closer to the grey area, not entirely good or evil. Travis is in Mexico and Ellie is forced to poison him but the plan goes completely wrong. Camden is still extremely hurt that Ellie turned to Javier but he is still the kind of guy who loves her regardless and has always known who Ellie really is. In the end it seems that Camden, Ellie AND Javier will need to team up to deal with Gus, Ellie's parents, and Travis, and the whole Mexican drug cartel. Cannot wait to find out what happens!!
