I just finished this absolute banger of a sequel. This picks up right as Silver Lies ends up giving us exactly what we needed after that destroyer of cliffhanger. We get answers to questions that lead us to more questions. We see Ash become a very different person to survive. We see the very definition of a found family. The politics get more fishy, lies get more tangled, and emotions change quickly. The last hundred pages leave us understanding the true purpose of the King of Novum's plan with the blondes.

Ash gets significant character development and changes in this book that is necessary for the story to flow. We see her realizing that survival is critical over everything else, even love, until she sits face to face and makes a tough decision about Gabe. Gabe is a piece of work, blinded by loyalty to the king who raised him and to the blonde he loves; he must make some choices that lead us to want to throw shoes at his head. Kane and Jerek have my heart and soul, and I wish them all the best. I cannot WAIT to see what the last book has in store for us.
