If you have already read the first book of the series: Fate Fixed you've already been introduced to the characters of this book Braden and Liz.Braden is the oldest of the covens 4 cousins and feels its his responsibility, as the oldest, to protect his family and the coven and in the process he's given up so much. He wanted to go to college, fall in love, and just have what everyone else had but time is running out for him. He never told anyone about a strange dark presence coming to him at school once when he was only 10. This presence told him that when he turns 18 and has gone through the change he wanted Braden to come and find him or he would hurt the rest of his family. This was a burden that Braden kept to himself for 8 long years along with watching his mother slowly die because the bond between her and her Fated had been destroyed. Braden doesn't know what happened to his father. They only knew that he died because of the bond being broken between his father and mother.Liz is Lexie's crazy, ex centric, outspoken friend who decided to drive to Maine to be with Lexie only to stumble upon Lexie's mom in the basement of their house. Ruby was holding her dead husband in her arms and the body of Lexie's oldest step brother naked and obviously dead was next to them. Her first encounter with Braden was of him rushing into the house, thinking he was going to find Torin and Lexie, but instead sees this beautiful raven haired beauty holding Lexie's mom for comfort. Liz wasn't afraid of the white eyes or Fangs she saw on Braden. No, she was upset because he came in charging and scared the crud out of her.Lexie's mom had contracted the werewolf virus, from her now dead husband and her body was rejecting it. She was getting sicker by the minute. Braden had told them all that he'd come in contact with an old friend of his fathers who said he had a cure for her and that he would be leaving soon to go out to Ireland to get it. Of course Liz wanted to go along, From the beginning she could feel a strange connection between her and Braden. Also. Ruby being the only mother figure she truly had in her life she wanted to do something for her.Braden finally agreed to letting Liz come along with him to get the cure and the story of Braden and Liz truly begins here. There is love, death, strength and the occasionally creepy vampire along the way.Bonnie Erina Wheeler did not disappoint me with this second book. In fact I actually love Braden and Liz's story the most. So far anyway.I have a new favorite author to add to my list.
