I absolutely adore Issac Wakefield. The story of Issac and Stas has been an emotionally wrought journey, and this book picks up after Stas has died and been reborn a Hydrarian, which makes her blood literally lethal to Issac, an Ecorian. Unable to say goodbye to the one they love, they remain together, finding intimacy in ways that won’t put Issac’s life at risk. The first half of the book is very melancholy. We have situations where Stas finds herself upset that she won’t be able to have her HEA with Issac, while those around her are getting theirs. Of course, having read the previous book, the readers are privy to some very crucial information regarding this, and it’s almost excruciating waiting for the truth to be revealed. A tragic and violent event triggers a bigger war to be waged, and reveals deep and shocking truths that change their worlds forever. As more and more is revealed about Stas’ past, heritage, and family, the story arcs towards passion and revenge.
This book moves between pure anguish, and blissful joy, and virtually every emotion in between. There are some wonderful moments with family and friends, and I continue to absolutely adore the Elders, and the fun dynamic they bring to literally every scene they are in. And the set up for the next book is fantastic. I truly can’t wait to see the continuation of this story and these characters.
I received this audiobook free in exchange for my fair and honest review.
