Wow, this book was great! Will and Lena were decent in the last book but the were both immature - I was really pleased to see this book was set three years later.
Lena was a great heroine, out to do whatever she can to help not only herself but her family and others in her restricted circumstances. She's had a huge crush on Will since she met him and hid her feelings behind silly flirtations. She lives with her half-brother (the relationship is a secret to society) and has become a spy for the humanist movement in London.
Will is infected with the loupe virus which provides great strengths and other shifter tendencies, but not full on shifting. He has also been infatuated with Lena since meeting her and is terrified of going to far with her and exposing her to his disease or hurting her. He has avoided her, but they are thrown back together by the danger that is pervasive in their world.
Their relationship was sweet, I love how they were both in love with each other for ages. Will was really hot in this, their sexy moments were freaking hot.
I loved seeing Will jump to Lena's rescue
AND seeing her kick arse on her own was even better!
I really love Lena's family but I wish they had shared their burdens with one another sooner.

I thought Lena would be a bit more resistant than she was to Will, but she was great. She threw away her position in society to be with him and she was actually thrilled to be infected with the loupe virus (especially since she could not remember her traumatic transition). She was ready to defend herself and relished in no longer being the prey of creepy bluebloods.I really love Lena's family but I wish they had shared their burdens with one another sooner.
