FROM AMAZON: The way Evalle Kincaid sees it, saving mankind from total destruction should have cleared her name. But when words uttered in the heat of combat are twisted against her, she is blamed for the prison break of three dangerous Alterants. She has one chance to clear the cloud of suspicion hanging over her—for good.

All she has to do is recapture the escapees. But deals with gods and goddesses are tricky at best, and now the lives of all Beladors, and the safety of innocent humans, rides on Evalle’s success. The only person she can ask for help wants to see her dead. Then Storm shows up and complicates everything.

I struggled somewhat with the previous book, so I started reading with misgivings. I'm so glad I picked this book up. Engaging, characters to fall in love with (I love Feenix), some to drool over and some to dislike intensely. I think this is going to be another great series.

I understand this is part of a series, and I understand what a difficult task it is to bring the newcomer up to speed, without boring the faithful follower... but this could have been done, better. ( )

This is a great story line, intrigue, double crosses, sub plots, engaging characters, hint of romance, its all here. I am so sorry that I have finished the 2nd book and will have to wait for the next installment. I miss Storm, i want a Feenix of my very own, and i want to find out what the Alterants really are.

This was one of those couldn't put down books. It hit all my story loving nerves, in all the right ways. Intense action, strong women, heroism, hot men with undefined motives, witches, magics, monsters, gods, goddesses, shifters and even a cuddly gargoyle. It all fits together in this unique world that seems similar enough to our reality that I could fall into the story. I found myself on high alert for every page, the dust never settles. I was brought to tears, and to laughter several times and the plot twisted. The ending had the dreaded cliffhanger... but it's okay there was an e-mail.- read the book you'll get it.
Much better than the first book in the series, the first book set up everything for this one. ( )
