I couldn't wait for the second book in this series and it did not disappoint! I love Mercy and how she is this strong independent woman but keeps her family and friends close to protect them. There are so many twists throughout the book it kept me on the edge of my seat! It's a book where you want to finish so you can find out everything but then don't want to so you can enjoy it all. Blade did an amazing job with her second book and I can't wait until the next one comes out.

Mercy sacrificed her heart for the greater good, but love may be more powerful than her magic.

Mercy's plan was supposed to be simple: remove her feelings for Dorian and continue the mission-to destroy the vampires who held her prisoner. But not all spells are perfect, and love may be stronger than any spell she could conjure.

Meanwhile, Maurice has disregarded Mercy's warning, and his sick game of cat and mouse has only just begun. He's coming for her again and has no intention of stopping.
