I've been excited to read the next book in this series; the first was a little mix of historical and vampire romance with some fantasy thrown in and really hooked me on this storyline.
I appreciate the map at the beginning of the book. The prologue starts us in the past with a look at Evangeline and Lycan, the Werewolf King. They have some serious chemistry and a star-crossed lovers' vibe. But they also seem to have a torrid past and a hidden secret.
Dominic, the general of the Vampire territory. This first chapter picks up where we left off with Sienna. Her life has changed drastically until now, and I can't wait to see where this fantasy goes. This book is much more political than the last, with moves, countermoves, planning, and desperate hopes.
Sienna's heritage is still as baffling as before, but new supernatural talents begin to arise. I wonder what paranormal she is and fully what her abilities are. This book almost gives me "Princess Bride" vibes. I know old movie references, but it has the theme of action/adventure, star-crossed lovers, and unrequited love littered thru the storyline. We get future riddles to work out regarding Sienna's ability.
This book takes a turn as things progress; we get a rollercoaster of political and social predicaments. Sienna is different in the last half of this book, becoming more heroic and less weighed down by her feelings and self-imposed responsibilities. Hard truths are delivered, and even with all the plotting, unexpected actions lead this toward something. The book ends with Dominic and Sienna back to being acquaintances rather than lovers. I'm glad the author answered questions about why the Werewolf Queen is essential to the storyline, but this book wasn't as good as the first. Still interested to see what happens next and praying for more info about Sienna and Dominic working out back to lovers, as that was more intriguing than political plotting.
