Everyone is keeping secrets.

Zak won’t reveal what really happened between us ten years ago. R\u00edkr’s been hiding so much I scarcely recognize him anymore. But the biggest secret belongs to my parents, and it’s the one I’m most desperate to unravel.

Finding out who they really were, and who I am, means solving their eighteen-year-old murders. For reasons unknown, Zak decides to join me\u2014and that makes me nervous, especially when the trail leads us into the most dangerous fae territory in the lower mainland.

The questions keep piling up, but as I realize too late, my parents’ killer is no mystery. He’s been lying in wait all along.

But not for me.

I’ve led Zak and R\u00edkr into a hell with no escape, and I need more than answers now. I need power\u2014because without it, none of us will make it out alive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

loved the focus on r\u00edkr and saber’s relationship, building trust and trying to show us what the hell happened to saber. we get more answers on her but only more questions on zak. it’s also where the seeds planted in book 1 come out (ha ha) (pun intended) and you realize that it’s itching to get moving. re the romance, the pair get a “one bed” moment (no touching) and we get more coincidences. no answers but their relationship cools from murder on sight to wary companionship with flirtatious aggression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
