This was another great installment to the Reborn series by Caridad Pineiro. I loved how Caridad was able to weave two story arcs, intersecting them and wrapping them around one another to create an overall story filled with love and hope, as well as lots of action, suspense and drama.Ryder and Diana’s story continues, picking up where things left off in the last book (Born to Love). Diana is in the hospital, the baby is fine, but Diana’s health is continuing to decline due to the contamination in her blood. Although there is lots of uncertainty about turning Diana while she is pregnant, they may not have any choice. And when Ryder is faced with the reality that he may not always be able to protect Diana, he shows a vulnerability which just breaks your heart.Michaela and Jesus are also featured in this story. Michaela is such a great character, full of internal conflicts and struggles. In order to exorcise the demons from her past, she is driven to hunt down her father and exact justice for the crimes he committed against her mother – and the lines between justice and vengeance are definitely blurred for her. She is conflicted by her role as a Slayer and the need to follow the laws put in place by the Slayer Council – especially when she is beginning to see that those laws that the Slayer Council has put in place may not always result in true justice being served. She also has to learn to accept love and friendship into her life – something she has never allowed herself the luxury of. Jesus is wonderful, standing by Michaela through it all, never pushing her for more in fear of driving her away. He is with her every step of the way, lending her his strength and reminding her that she isn’t alone.When Michaela’s father turns the tables and begins hunting her and he targets her friends as a way to get to her, they all must band together to protect each other from his evil. As the danger increases, Michaela is also facing pressure from the Slayer Council and finds herself faced with life-altering decisions that must be made.Another must read from Caridad Pineiro!I received an eARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
