Foster Taher went through something horrific that led to a torturous year he couldn’t escape. A banshee who found his scream—and thus abandoned by everyone and everything he knew—has nowhere to turn to, and he never forgets that or his loyalties to Diego for saving him. Pierce Maddos has been looking for his best friend and first love for years, running into dead end after dead end in his search. A fire demon who lost himself when his parents transferred him to a new school to keep him from the one he loved, he finally pulled himself together when his team brought him in, always with the goal to fold into Diego’s crest. But when the two meet again years later and have different accounts of what happened the last time they saw each other, the whole crest is thrown into turmoil. And while Foster wants nothing more than to put Pierce and the past behind him, he can’t help but ask the question on his mind… What if he was wrong?
I love the whole crest series but this one ended abruptly. It should have been longer. I want to read more because just as it was getting good, it ended. I wanted to see them get the guy who hurt Foster.
Like all of Flynn Eire's books, this one is sweet with a bit of heartache. Showing love can triumph over pain, forgiveness over fear. She has a great talent for reaching into the heart of the reader and helping them feel the story. I like the Colosseum University stories. I definitely look forward to the next one.
