4.5 out of 5 StarsThis is the first book by this author that I've read and I have to say it was a great introduction. While this is the second book in the series, there is enough of the backstory to not feel lost in the story.The story starts out introducing us to the heroine, Riley, as she's checking out the hero, Sam, for the first time. She found him through the Society For Goddess Education and Defense's website and chose to seek him out over the Society for help. She figures he's the lesser of the two evils as her family didn't leave a great image of the Society for her growing up. Sam was once part of the Society as a Protector, but has since left both Society and the Protectors behind after the events that occurred in the first book. Riley needs help as her powers have manifested and she's being followed and targeted.I really did enjoy both main characters in this story, way more then I enjoyed the secondary characters. The time spent on the secondary characters and the storyline that continued from the first book was probably the only drawback to the story. I really didn't connect with Quinn, Nick, or Marley enough and felt that their stories took a little too much away from the main story. I loved the connection between Riley and Sam, even though it happened so quickly, they're a good fit as a couple.The story was very engaging and kept my attention all the way to the end. I'm interested to see where it goes with Marley's story with the little twist at the end of this book. I would recommend this book for anyone that enjoyed Lisa Renee Jones's Zodius series and Stephanie Julian's Forgotten Goddesses series. ~Reviewed by ChrisThis review is the property of Chris and not be shared or copied unless by the Publisher or Author or unless credit is given.
