“Every day, we fall apart a little bit more.”—TessaFor the first time in eight years, someone other than her family knows Tessa’s real name. Tristan. She’s not the only one holding secrets and now she has another protector. And she’ll need another protector. As a killer hunts them, her family is falling apart and life as home may be just as dangerous as the man out to kill them…“We’d never had a chance.”—TessaI enjoyed this installment better than the first and love how the tension is ramped up as Tessa’s family is on edge and life is becoming more dangerous as her parents are losing control of their abilities and her sister is trying to develop a new ability. The tension is great, and there’s still the great young adult element as Tessa struggles to be helpful while being the only normal one in the household. We also witness her frustration as she falls deeper in love with Tristan and battles with the decision of how much can she reveal to him.There was a lot of foreshadowing as to something being off about Tristan, and there were so many times where Tessa interprets Tristan’s behavior one way while the reader can view it another. While it was clear where the direction the book was heading when it came to Tristan, it felt like it was a decoy for another shock and huge twist that I didn’t see coming! Overall, this installment was a 5 out of 5 for me!(Originally posted on my blog; I received a Netgalley copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.)
