Ford's family is the reason Simon's family has been considered quacks for years. Simon has set out once and for all to determine that Firebirds exist. Ford is attracted to nerdy Simon who doesn't know that shifters exist. However, a militant group shows and now Simon is at risk and Ford needs to share his secret. I think this is my favorite of the series. And the ending with Simon's grandpa just melted my heart. Off to read book 3!
