WARNING: Spoilers for The Pocket Watch****Spoilers for The White KnightThe White Knight is the second book in the Trinity Saga, and takes place immidiately after book one. (The Pocket Watch) It's the continuing story of Imogen Stromholdt and Lucius Knight and their world of supernatural beings.They are still searching for Imogen's brother Aiden, the hero turned evil power hungry wraith from the Pocket Watch, Imogen's still trying to figure out why she has been drawn into this world, and it's the continuing story of Imogen and Lucius' romance.This book, unlike the first, was written mostly in Lucius' point of view. At first, I thought I would hate this, and it would be more difficult to get through, but it only gave me more insight into Lucius' character and more insight into the way he feels about Imogen.****White Knight Spoilers to follow****No happily ever after at the end here, and the betrayal of Collin almost made me cry. The characters had become so real, and I really thought that Aiden and his humanity were still intact until the end, and his betrayal was almost worse than Collin's, even though I should have expected it.I would have given this five stars, but the epilouge was confusing. It took me forever to realize that the thoughts Collin was hearing were different people, and I had to backtrack twice to understand what I was reading. I guess I can understand why the epilouge was written from Collin's POV, but I felt cheated somehow, after having been in Imogen's thoughts and dreams in the Pocket Watch, I felt that we should have gotten her there, or the epilogue should have been omitted completely.Other than that, the story had everything you could want, drama, action, love, and even heartbreak. It twisted and turned, and you find out terrible and wonderful things that shock and horrify you about the charatcers and their families. And everything you thought was true and real in book one becomes blurred around the edges and not so sure in this book.I downloaded Book Three, the Memory Keeper as soon as I finished, and am currently reading that now. I'm almost scared to read it, because The White Knight showed me that in Ronnell Porter's rich, weird, and wonderfully created world, nothing is certain. Not life, death, or loyalty. I just hope I don't have to write a scathing review because he kills off everyone I adore in book three.I would highly recommend readingThe Trinity Saga: The Pocket Watchbefore reading this book, there is way too much background information in one to help you understand the characters and how this world works, though I suppose that The White Knight is a stand alone story.Either way, The white Knight gets my stamp of approval, for what that's worth. I would recommend it to anyone who likes supernatural/paranormal/science fiction reads.
