My Review
5/5 Stars
When Jake vanishes after a massacre by the Arez, he is suspected in helping it occur. Samantha is now tasked with finding him and determining what actually happened. Aided by her friend, Agatha, she is thrust into a world of secrets, betrayal, and danger.
I fell in love with the author’s worldbuilding skills and character development a few books back. He has a way of making it really easy to put yourself in the character’s shoes, and I love that. There was so much suspense in this story, and I liked the fresh perspective of the story. Jake was a character I remember fondly from previous books in the series. It’s always interesting to read books where it seems as if the potential hero has turned villain. There were a few great twists in this book, but like before, Jake is still my favorite character.
