This book is chucked full of drama, lies, twists and turns!!!  It starts right where the first one left off, in the pouring rain - at the edge of a cliff.  

War has lost his father, and his mother is hanging on by a thread. Nash is fighting his own inner battles of his past and pending future. Scythe and Vincent fight over control and are hiding several big secrets, and of course this book also ends in another huge cliffhanger. I have already picked up the next book and can’t wait to continue this series.

once upon a time, i was panting like a fucking dog reading wanting more and more and more. elle thorpe really knows how to yank my damn leash when things start to go a little too hopeful for the characters.
