When you’re an outcast, the truth is always hard to accept. But being handed your birthright can create surprising opportunities in the realms of the tainted.
Betrayal. Attempted murder. Unexpected alliances. The unfolding events are shocking, but they also prove that I play a big role in what’s to come — a role that doesn’t solely revolve around survival.
Death has always nipped at my heels, but this time, I’m the one racing right into the red shadows of doom in an attempt to discover my heritage and a place to call home. No matter what happens, though, one thing is certain: I’m smitten with my Alpha and have enough faith in his reign that my demon imprinted on him.
Lust between Shadowborns is one thing, but what future can he have with me? A Dusk Shadowborn? Especially because this formerly homeless, mocked reject is now stepping into one of the highest positions the Tainted Syndicate has ever seen — a position of worship.
Fate has shown me who my enemies are, and though I’ve set my revenge in motion, it’s only the beginning. Alpha Cain wishes for me to rise, to be tested — to be loved — but most importantly?
He wants to show our tainted world what happens when you provoke the untamed.
Part two was a hell of a ride with twists and turns and verrrry interesting revelations!
We start the book where we left off in the first installment, so if you’re not sure, just reread the last few chapters, and you’ll be good to go!
Nova and Cain are such a power couple. If only they weren’t beset by enemies 24/7 so they could rest and recuperate. I love their interaction, which, I have to admit, tends to be slightly deranged, but then again, they’re always half dead or half asleep from exhaustion… so yeah!
The non-stop action keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the revelations about Nova and Cain are fascinating, to say the least!
We also learn more about the High Council and the other players (and enemies) in this high-stakes game.
Oh, and we also get to see how freaking awesome Red is (the bike Nova rides)!!
All in all, I really like this series, though I’m not sure when we’ll get book 3, unfortunately 🙁
