An impossible romance.
Bitter rivalries.
Deadly choices.
To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.
Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love?
Review
At the end of Firelight, Jacinda and her family were headed home to stand judgement for leaving the pride. Cassian had found them and separated Jacinda from Will, a boy she had come to love unknowing of the fact that he was a hunter. By being with him she betrayed all of her kind in the worst way. Upon arrival back home, Tamra finally manifests as a full blown Draki and Jacinda is greeted with hostility by everyone she used to love. Will she choose to stay and be with Cassian like he's always wanted or run away with Will when he comes looking for her? And what will the cost be when she makes her decision? Jacinda truly annoyed me in this book. It was like reading Twilight with dragons and hunters, instead of vampires and werewolves (which actually, they were shapeshifters STEPHANIE MEYER!!!). I also really had no sympathy for her Mother, who was kind of useless in the first book and completely useless in this one. I would have liked to read more about Tamra's unexpected changes and how she felt about finally belonging in a world that had rejected her for so long. That would have been an interesting book.....but NO, I got to read about Jacinda and how she couldn't make up her mind which boy she wanted. So she just tortured them both for the entire book! I am truly sick and tired of love triangles as they are horrible and neither boy ever comes out looking like a winner, because they're both wasting time on a stupid girl who takes them both for granted. The plot in this book was mostly filler, as it had to set the stage for the final book in the trilogy. Which, by the way, I will not be reading!!! I do not recommend this book if you value your time in any way whatsoever.
VERDICT: 1/5 Stars
*No money or favors were exchanged for this review. This book is now available in stores and online.*
