The saga continues with our mortal/caster couple, Ethan & Lena. Lena has slipped into a deep depression following the death of her beloved uncle Macon Ravenwood. She feels responsible for his death due to a choice she made to save Ethan's life. She finds herself distancing herself from Ethan & running into the arms of a new guy, John Breed. Who, or what, is John?! Is he light or dark? He's not the only new character on the scene. Welcome Olivia "Liv", Marion's caster library keeper-in-training. Although Keepers are supposed to be neutral, Liv can't seem to keep out of the middle of things, & she chooses to give up her future as a Keeper in order to save a life. Thanks to Ethan, Liv, Linc, & Ridley, Lena is able to once again return to her former self. But given the events that happened in the tunnels, will things ever be able to go back to normal again?! Out of the 4 books in the series, this one was probably my least favorite. I'm not a fan of pity parties, & that pretty much describes Lena thru most of this book. We learned a bit more of the reason behind her change in personality which helped me to cut her some slack. My frustration w/Lena thru most of the book made it hard for me to enjoy some of the other parts of the story. The book ends in such a way that it left me "ok" w/how book #2 played out & ready to continue the story in book #3. Age recommendation: 14 & up (dark spiritual elements, magic) On a scale of 1-10 stars, I give it 7.
