"...there's no victory without a battle."
Seventeen-year-old Scarlet just died. Only, dying isn't unusual for a girl
under a centuries old curse that left her semi-immortal.This time, though,
she comes back to her current life instead of awaking in a new one, and she
realizes the curse is changing. Together with the immortal Archer brothers,
Scarlet must piece together her life and try to break the curse before her
impending death comes again or worst Tristan's.This book picks up immediately
at the point of the devastating cliffhanger at the ending of book 1.
The story quickly moves forward, with Scarlet, Tristan,Gabriel and Nate
continuing on with their quest from the first book with the addition of Heather
to their team.Adding to the intrigue, the story of the past is intermingled
along with the present, and pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place as
we see what actually happened when Scarlet first met Tristan and Gabriel.
The evil guy (or gal in this case) sends ASHMEN after them. Zombies. Seriously?
Do we have to go so old school? Why not a nice assassin, or a hit man or
something that links with this whole 'hunting and chivalry' era. Oh, no -
by all means find strange flowers and cast spells to raise the dead.
Go right ahead, don't mind me!Also, Nate needs to attend a few classes.
One being "WHEN PEOPLE ARE HAVING A CUTE FANGIRL-WORTHY MOMENT FOR THE
LOVE OF GOD AND EVERYTHING SACRED IN THIS WORLD DO NOT INTERRUPT THEM YOU GODDAMN IDIOT!" But no, he's all "No touching!", "Distance!", "Do I need to
put you two in those big plastic bubbles?"
finally
Yes, there’s another cliffhanger, but it wasn’t quite as
bad as the first book, it’s more a promise of things to come, and has definitely
left me wanting more!!! Can’t wait for the final installment!
