Galena Margolis, sister to Eli from book one, and super scientist extraordinaire on the brink of saving humanity is in danger from all those who would stop her progress. Declan Ferry is determined to protect her at all costs, even when those "costs" come with a very surprising package deal.

This was a great follow up to Marked and equal in awesomeness in every way. Both main characters had depth, the secondary characters have lots going on to keep you occupied, and the ongoing storyline involving the out of control Kere is evolving nicely book by book.

I really enjoyed how Dec was with Galena, whom, as you'll know if you read book one, had been viciously attacked in the past and is still tying to come to terms with it every day. Their romance is in some ways hindered by this, but in other ways, it simply made it more poignant and deep.

There were perhaps even more twists, turns and shocks in this instalment, and who doesn't love a book that keeps you on your reading toes? I was more than intrigued by the epilogue and the prospect of the next potential coupling. Especially since it's a pair of characters the author hasn't particularly endeared us to thus far. Can't wait to read on to find out if I'm right!
