Jag älskar Kai och Banks är också bra men jag tyckte typ inte de hände så mycket i boken?? Plotten va bättre i första boken. Intressant att Banks och Damon va syskon och man fick lite bakgrund och förståelse. Har blandade känslor om Damon för jag tycker ju synd om honom för vad som hänt men han är ju inte en bra person men man kan ändå förstå det på ett sätt.

I love Kai and Banks's relationship.  

I didn't particularly appreciate their story reflected on Damon 

I love Pen's writing in this book.

A further exploration into the world-building and characters at hand, this time we follow Kai Mori, who is desperate to get ahold of childhood lover-turned enemy Nikova Banks, to find Damon Torrance and bring him to justice for his crimes.  However, Banks is smart and more loyal to Damon than the other Horsemen realise.  The plot for this series only seems to get better and better, with always-promised spice and an increasing plot as tensions rise.
