HOLY HELL THAT WAS INTENSE! After the jaw dropping conclusion of the last book I didn't know how this book was going to top that but it did. Again I was on the edge of my seat, gripping on to my kindle like my life depended on it and letting myself sink into Prue's world once more. And waiting for the inevitable twists that would hit me like a sledgehammer, trust me I was not disappointed.
The treaty is broken and magic is running riot in the open, the city has fallen into chaos. Prue knows that even though she is no longer the enforcer, people will still need someone to help and protect them. But with her secret in the open, will she be the hero they need, or the monster they fear.
Prue is up to her neck in problems but that's nothing new for her. And this is one of the things I love about her even though she has been stripped of her enforcer job she will still put her life and sanity on the line to help people, at the cost of getting burned by the very people she's trying to help. Her honor, kick ass attitude and bravery make her relatable and likeable. She continues to grow in this book and the breakthrough moment for me was when she finally discovers that in order to be who she is, is not to be scared of her power and to trust her instincts not the perceptions of others. I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of my favourite female characters to date.
Max is also having his own problems within the Shifter community but is still a solid foundation for Prue, and doesn't think twice about following her in faerie on a mission to save her hateful sister Isobel. Yeah he's just perfect. And what better way to sum up Max than with a quote from Prue.
"You're my rock. You're the grass I need to touch when someone tells me to go and touch grass.' Swoon...
Salozar is back and damn him, he's grown on me so much I'm starting to love him too (how did this happen). Putting his life in danger to help Prue he's wormed his way into my heart and now I literally care what happens to him as well. Yeah I'm a big softie for grand gestures.
And lastly my little glowering gothflower Cindy finally finds her purpose and it's awesome to see. I love this tiny foul-mouthed pixie can't wait to see what she gets up to in the last book.
This one definitely tugged on my heartstrings and yep there were a few tears but so worth it. I know there's only one more book to go and I desperately need to see how it all ends. This is a highly enjoyable series which I can't recommend enough 😁
