To save her, he must sentence her to a life she never wanted. The shadow of his past has loomed over Gabriel Archon for what seems to be his entire life. Months after being shot, he struggles with how to protect his family and Juliet. When an old enemy from Juliet’s life unexpectedly emerges, the threat not only to her, but the lives of his kind, throws Gabriel’s world into a tailspin. In spite of everything he does, those he cares for are falling victim to the ever-increasing conflict, and, in the end, the one person who has captured his heart may be the most devastating loss.
Like many women these days, Lydia Staggs wears many hats. By day, an aquatic animal veterinarian; by night, author of the urban fantasy series Shamar. Just like her patients, the characters in her books are loved, cherished, and given the most meticulous attention. A graduate of Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, Lydia is an avid Auburn college football fan and loves all SEC sports. An addiction to chocolate and great reads serve as simple rewards for stressful days. When she is not working, she is spending time with her husband, son, and pets in sunny Florida.
This author continues to get better and better. Book two is more detailed and vivid than book one, but still building upon the world and characters introduced in the first novel.
I would give it 10 STARS if I could... WOW! Another incredible book in the series from a very talented author who has now become one of my favorites! I absolutely LOVED this book just like I did the first in the series! It has everything I look for in a book: characters I can connect with, a great plot, plenty of action and a super dose of creativity. It is so engaging that you don't want to stop reading and even when you do, you find yourself thinking about it hours later. I most definitely recommend this sequel and cannot wait for the next book to be published. In fact, I will read anything this author publishes in the future!
This book is wonderful! You are instantly back in the Shamar world from book one, with lots of familiar characters, but soon meet many new ones. The book is full of surprises and every time you think you know what will happen the author catches you off guard. Very hard to put down and will leave you desperate to find out what happens next!
I am in awe that Dr. Lydia Staggs has written not one, but two phenomenal books, all while caring for the animals at Gulfworld and balancing her personal life. It's inspiring ♡ I enjoyed being immersed in this captivating story and need more! Looking forward to the third book of the series and hope it reaches the masses...it's that good!
