Review: Reads More Like a Serial - But I Liked It!
Rating: 3 out of 5

I really liked the story of the first book and the interesting, kick-butt characters of Skylar and Chase and they are together again in this story after having been separated by Chase's bone-head move on wanting humanity more than having Skylar.  To his credit, he immediately regrets his actions, but it is too late and his powers and position are buried deep.  He knows he will never win back Skylar's love, but he has to at least keep her safe now that he has an idea of what is going on in the shifter world.Skylar is basically being held prisoner on an island by her emotionally distant father who doesn't want to lose her again.  She convinces the magic house to return her to her home and meets up with Mason at Caleb's home where she discovers she can bring tiny figurines of shifters back to life.  Mason is being caging and untrustworthy, and then Chase and Gunner show up and Skylar's emotions are all over the place.  She knows she is still VERY physically attracted to Chase, but he betrayed her and she doesn't trust him.  Chase doesn't want her to trust Mason, and after Dillon shows up, she doesn't know WHO to trust.This book had a lot more emotional pull to it than the first book, which I enjoyed more, and was also a little sad and confusing.  I am hoping for some more answers in the next book about who is really behind this all and why there is even a war in the first place.There is a lot less sex in this book but it is descriptive and more loving and tender.  Chase wants to win Skylar back and they have wild sex and make love.  It is bitter-sweet.  Oral Sex  and  profanity (F-word, sh**t, still using the word dick a lot)This volume has some problems with the editing too:  missing words, wrong words (hear for here and form for from), and words out of order - "Whatever shifter you is nearest to you" for example.This book seems more like a serial as it is so short, but for the .99 price, I have been enjoying it so far.  I look forward to Charred Hope due out this month.Would I/Did I buy it? Yes (.99)Would I read it again? MaybeWould I recommend it to friends? YesAge Rating: NA
