This is the second in this authors Iron Portal series and although I haven't read the previous offering ( Assasins Touch) I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever in following this story. Yes this is a series and probably best read in order but this book can be read as a standalone novel as the storytelling is just that good!When we meet the hero Asher Kane he is searching for the man behind the death of his friend. A death he can't help but blame himself for and he's not giving up! Whilst trying to track down the shadowy figure in charge he finds himself seriously injured and quite by chance meets Olvia Crawford, who has a gift for healing that she has struggled to hide from those in authority. This is a dangerous world where she lives a new world where the army are to be feared and people like her ( a Healer Talent) would be forcibly taken away .Living in New Seatle is dangerous. Portals separate them from the ancient world of Cascadia and propaganda insists that the Cascadians are all killers. How can Asher convince the intriguing Olvia that he means her no harm? Furthermore how can he reconcile himself with leaving her when his job is done. He's not used to a woman who challenges him and Olvia is not taking anything lying down.As their relationship grows more passionate the couple are in danger as past and present start to collide . Olivia lost  her brother will she lose Asher? And can Asher find the man responsible , known as The Fixer before it's too late?I really enjoyed this. Ms London has a talent for throwing the reader into the story that makes it exciting and fun.  I thought  reading about alternate realities mght be confusing but no not at all. Im defnately going to read more by herand happily rate this a 4 and a half as its quite short.
