I enjoyed this book. Definitely had some
Plot twists I was not expecting and some very predictable ones. It also had some extremely frustrating elements to it which I believe is a pattern with this author! It was a very slow burn with very little spice to it and a frustrating cliff hanger! I definitely cried during this book but I do believe it was solely a result of being on my period at 3 in the morning! All of that being said I still oddly enjoyed this book!

“When did you sneak in?”
I enjoyed this one still. We see their relationship develop from enemies to lovers. I still would have liked more info on the Fae but the story itself is fun.

So many twists & turns!
What a roller coaster! This book was good that I hid away so I could read it all day! I can't wait to start the next book and see where things go from here....SO much action packed into the last few chapters!

This is the second book in the collector series and should not be read as a standalone.
I adore this series and I am so happy that this book didn’t fall into that dreaded sophomore slump. This story takes us to an adventure as Ryker tries to find a powerful shaman in hopes of getting his powers back. Along the way, we get to see that Ryker has his fair share of enemies and they all want one thing: The Stone of Destiny. We also get to delve deeper in Zoey’s past, to see where she came from and to understand how trauma and pain have etched themselves together to form this amazingly strong female character. The story progressed at a clipped but believable pace, the storyline was logical and well thought out. I absolutely adore these characters, their personalities shine bright and dialogue is believable and witty. The characters somehow seem to imbed themselves into your heart and you forget that they are supposed to be fictional. I LOVE Sprig, I am holding out hope that someday I will find my very own version of him! Ms. Brown has found a way to write a story so strong with a slow burn, sexual tension and plenty of action and drama. The writing is flawless and seamless. I am in awe of Ms. Brown and her creativity. Another 5 stars!

I think it was better than the first book. They stopped wandering around in Seattle and now they wait in Peru (it sounds pretty random, and it is). But the wandering around happens in the characters' relationship, their acceptance (or lack thereof) of their feelings. Forward, backward, forward. I really relished that. I think that some of the flaws of the first book were much improved in this one. So, overall I enjoyed this book. Except the OW drama, I hated that.
Beware, it ends on a huge cliffhanger, so you better have the next book ready when you reach the end (I do).
