When Stephanie told me she was redoing the first book's cover, I was already excited. It totally captures the main characters of the book and their relationship. And I was SO right.įirst I'll start with the cover. I loved her first book and knew there was no way I could be disappointed with this one. I was so honored that she felt I was worthy enough to read this and give her honest feedback! And it was so wonderful to work with her and send her my opinions, edits and what I was loving about the book to be able to watch the process evolve and become a piece of art. When Stephanie asked me to read this book for her, I was jumping up and down screaming in my house (yes, my kids and husband were looking at me as if I had lost my marbles, what else is new?).

It will take you on the journey you need to enjoy this next masterpiece she has written! So, turn around, go back, and get yourself a copy of because you in no way will be disappointed. You cannot read this book without that background. If you have not read Stephanie's first book in this series, stop here. Will she listen to the one who calls to her in nightmares and eventually finds her in the flesh? Will she succumb to his will or will she cling to her human soul and her human heart? She reaches out to Clara, yearning for the impossible-to be free of the reapers’ enslavement.īeyond Clara’s battle to save a lost loved one and to keep Gabe close to her heart, another threat stirs, whispering to Clara in the dark. Jessie, now a shadow scout, defies the reapers’ malevolent power. She wonders why she should resist at all. Good-looking and self-assured, Clara finds his charms difficult to resist. New clansman and fellow Guardian, Michael, steps in all-too-willingly to take Gabe’s place as her confidant and more. Clara’s constant defiance against Gabe begins to sever the bond between them. While Gabe grows in confidence, Clara begins to doubt everything, including her feelings for Gabe. Yet, Gabe and Clara both know that they must chance the danger in order to fulfill a dark destiny. No one knows what lurks when night falls. Gabe, Clara, and their clan must leave the relative safety of Beau Chêne, Louisiana, in order to train with others gathering in the north. A constant gray pall reminds the Setti that reapers are still here-watching, waiting, hunting. I received an unfinished ARC copy of this book to beta read for the author, Stephanie Judice, to give an honest review.
