4.5 stars! Book two, and we’re getting into the meat of the story now. Emma has come into her magic, Aiden is by her side as her mate, and now they need to find the rest of the girls who will help bring the prophecy to fruition. They’re in search of four girls, and as they find each, they are confronted with unique and varied challenges each time. At the same time, there are some interesting commonalities that vein through each of their stories as well. Not everyone is gung ho to jump on the prophecy bandwagon, and some take more persuading than others. But as all their stories come together, it feels like you can really start to see the bigger picture coming into clearer view. I definitely feel that the “found family” is getting stronger and stronger. Not only with the core group, which is fantastic, but with some of the new additions as well. It seems this is going to become a crucial aspect in book three. Their journey in this book was fast paced, action packed, and kept me riveted.

On a side note, Emma and Aiden are like freaking rabbits. Any time they get alone time, they are all over each other. And no, I’m not complaining, I actually very much enjoyed that aspect of their story. Their relationship is new, and this really helps show that can’t keep our hands off each other, never want to be apart from you, would do anything to protect you vibe. And I love that it goes both ways. They protect each other, and while Aidan has to get over his alpha male tendencies and let Emma be and do what she is meant to, when he does, it’s really great, and it really strengthens their connection. They have great chemistry, and they take advantage of it, often.

The set up for book 3 is pretty great. The build during this book was steady and yet fast paced, and we got some good character development as well. It’s going to be very interesting to see how everything plays out.
