Oh my heart is filled with joy after reading this book. 
 I picked up this series on a whim. I had no idea that I would love this book and the series while reading Map of Fates. 
 This book picks up just about where the last one left off with Avery and Jack searching for clues to unlock the bracelet. In doing this I got all the things I loved in the first book action, history, romance, slight comedy, and betrayal. 
 The story got way more complex and we get a closer look at the Saxon family and other families who are a part of The Circle. I loved this because I got more information about The Circle. I must give Maggie Hall mad props because there was the best twist ever and I had absolutely no clue. No clue people. It completely messed with my brain. 
 I didn't think it was possible but I fell even more in love with Stellan. How is that even possible? I just want Avery and stellan together because the undeniable attraction and lets face it lust is driving me crazy and I screamed kiss already. I found myself loving Jack less in this book because he was overbearing and overprotective of Avery. The poor girl needed room to breathe and make decisions on her own. I think he has good intentions but it was a turn off. I also liked that Colette and Elody(??), and even Luke had bigger parts in this book. No details, but I love them all for different reasons and they add to the story. They had each others back. 
 The only think I cannot get over is my disdain for Avery. I think that she is very childish, she definitely acts like a little kid. She also had nerve to judge others for their actions when her own drive to save her mom had its deadly costs as well. It was satisfying when she got called out on it. The one thing I had a challenging time with was the fact that Avery was too nice when she is immersed in a world that is cutthroat. I think in the next book she is going to toughen up and grow. 
 I urge you to continue the series and read this book. Its so good. Even better than the first book. You get all the great things in the first book and more. So many twists, action, and adventure.
