A review by bananatricky
Edge of Dreams by Diana Pharaoh Francis
4.0
The plot(s) thicken.
At the end of the first book Riley Hollis walked away from Price, she has now become infamous and can charge exorbitant (for her) sums for her services. Yet when a police officer approaches her to find five teenagers who have disappeared in the mines (after trying to undercut the Tyet) she doesn't hesitate to assist.
Although she and Riley are apart she has a team of bodyguards, led by the silver-eyed (literally) Dalton and together with her brother Leo they plan a rescue.
What amazed me about this book was that the story of the rescue, betrayal etc only actually took up half the novel. In most other novels that would have been the whole thing.
Whilst I enjoyed this as much, if not more, than the first book I have noticed (having actually finished all three books) that Riley gets hurt an awful lot. I know they have Heal Alls and healers like Maya but even so, she is constantly being beaten up, stabbed, shot, blown up etc. Also, and again this may be more relevant to the third book, Riley has had her talents her entire life and yet suddenly she is finding new and unusual ways to use it?
Anyway, a small niggle. We meet a villain that makes the Tyet seem like pussycats and encounter a level of inconceivable evil.
I also (so sue me, I like a romance) shipped very hard for Dalton and Leo, Riley's brother.
