Morana Vitalio had caught Tristan Caine off guard. He finds himself divided between his traumatic past and an uncertain future after spending his entire life with a commitment he violated on a rainy night. Is that all he knows? He still has control over her life. 
 
The boundary between adversaries and comrades has blurred for Morana. Everything she ever treasured has crumbled, and the unknown stares her down, leaving her with both her freedom and her life on the line in enemy territory. What is the only thing she knows? His life has always been hers. 
 
With twenty years of history connecting them, Tristan and Morana embark on their quest for the truth together. And they discover that the disappearance of the girls is only the tip of the iceberg. 
 
Character and plot-wise, I believe The Predator maintains its high quality. I appreciated how the mystery factor kept me guessing. I was flying through this book and had to force myself to put it down or otherwise I'd miss the characters too much. 
 
I still don't like RuNyx's writing style, but it has clearly improved. I liked this novel better than The Predator, as well as the epilogue. I think this is one of the greatest epilogues I've ever read. However, I think Tristan was overly possessive at times. But, other from that, I'm really enjoying this series so far and can't wait for Dante and Amara's book.
