The latest offering from this author has suddenly evolved from fantasy to a hard hitting story with life lessons on offer, and I loved absolutely everything about it. It is brilliantly written by an author who obviously understands that regardless of where and when we live in the universe, the human condition stays the same.I have been introduced to Zyra before, but in this story a vulnerable Zyra is laid open for all the galaxy to see. Suddenly she transforms into a young women who still has a lot to learn about life, and love in particular. Regardless of how life has treated her, there is still an innocence about Zyra Zanr that becomes evident in this chapter of the series. Zyra, as we all know, has the ability to get herself caught in a web of her own conjuring over and over again, and it would seem not much has changed. The author however, really turns up the heat in this book, and it sometimes leaves you feeling quite vulnerable yourself.Zyra is and will always be a survivor, but once again she comes dangerously close to being in way over her head. Falling in love might seem like the right thing to do, but is this love the right thing for Zyra Zanr? She becomes the only one who can answer this question.Dr Ryan seems sincere and truly concerned with a strange illness imbedding itself in Zyra's body, and apart from the fact that he's married, Ryan still seems to love everything about Zyra. Early on in the story there are subtle hints that Ryan has a dark side and that things are not quite what they seem.The author honestly gives us a wonderfully seductive story of love, growth, abuse and the controversial world of genetic engineering. All of this set in the vastness of space, leaving you panting for more.
