In the second installment of the series, we get to focus on Shade, the second brother, and his love story - and what a story it was! The love of Shade's life is the woman he scorned (unknowingly), and who now wants nothing to do with him. Add in supernatural shenanigans, and plots twists in the overarching story, and you get a pretty rollicking time, lol. I really liked how the climax (pun not intended) was executed here. It was nothing new, but it fit very well with the plot elements. 
 Now I'm not sure if this is my imagination or not, but I feel like all the (major) characters got fleshed out a bit more, and we got to learn what made each of them tick - Eidolon, Shade, Wraith, even Kynan. I loved that even more than I loved the romance. I also want to note that everyone is bloody interconnected in this series!! Someone knows someone who turns out to be this person's long-lost sister's half-brother's best friend's boyfriend's former boss's ex-lover. I don't even know. It makes the world feel very small - too small, sometimes. 
 Either way, on to book 3!
