"There flew the butterfly's secret straight out into the open. I am a girl disguised as a boy in a group know to execute traitors."I'm always happy to dive back into KaSonndra Leigh's captivating world that she's created for the Lost Immortals series, so I was very excited to hear about this novella! Desi and Seth's past was never truly revealed in the previous books other than the obvious loathing from Desi's end, so getting to look back and see what started it all was a bittersweet treat!Desi was a kick-ass heroine in this short story, braving things that men twice her size feared in order to avenge the murder of her parents and please the one she loves. Disguised as a man, she endured the pain and trials that came with becoming a Caducean warrior, risking everything if she were to be caught. With her grandfather and brother back at their home, it was a huge gamble, but she was determined to do what was necessary. But she trusted too much, and when her lover, none other than the gorgeous Seth Alton, asker her to do the unthinkable, her perfectly balanced house of cards was bound to come tumbling down."Brown, leather pants adorn his strong legs, the clothing of a rogue; a person who doesn't make a claim on belonging to any of the two main celestial groups. Seth Alton is about as independent and naturally gorgeous as any male ever created, I do believe."Seth has intrigued me since we first met him in this series, and every bit of his past that we learn more about makes him more and more alluring. He's that bad boy who thinks he simply CAN'T be good, so he pushes people away and does things that are morally reprehensible to get to his desired goal. I have to say, I LOVED the sexy Seth we meet here, and I loved him with Desi. Their chemistry was great, even though beneath the surface I knew the devil inside Seth was lurking. He's an inherently selfish being, and knowing that I was prepared for his actions, but it didn't soften the blow any. It's crystal clear when all is said and done why it is that there is so much animosity between them, and now that I've seen how good they could be together I'm hopeful that somehow...maybe??...they could get past this. Seth could redeem himself, even with all that has happened Chela and Faris, but I guess that remains to be seen. In the meantime, this was an awesome look back into the past and now I'm even more excited for When Tidal Waves Call!"I don't dare breathe, probably couldn't inhale even if I wanted. Something deeper than darkness lies in the way he moves, talks, and stares at me. An abyss...that's what I see in his eyes. When he glances at me, I fall in deeper each time."
