Synopsis:

For a moment, a face flashed before my eyes—the most hideous face I’d ever seen. No matter how hard I tried to forget what had happened, I saw him everywhere I went. It was Loki—the evil god that I’d helped set free against my will.

I should have known that my first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. If we’d gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I’d have been more prepared. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? I didn’t see that one coming.

I’ve been accused of purposely helping the Reapers free Loki from his prison—and the person leading the charge against me is Linus Quinn, Logan’s dad. The worst part is that pretty much everyone at Mythos Academy thinks I’m guilty. If I’m going to get out of this mess alive, I’ll have to do it myself…

My rating: ★★★★★

I absolutely LOVED this book! From book one I have loved this series, and it just keeps getting better and better!

Logan had me swooning from page one...I seriously LOVE that guy! He's gorgeous, very protective, and all around sweet! He's a bad boy and a total sweetheart all wrapped up in a gorgeous package! How can you not love him?

Gwen is awesome too...very smart and brave. She was able to handle the insane situation she was in. I mean, she's on trial because they think she set Loki free...on PURPOSE! Can you believe the absurdity?! Gwen's powers are amazing...growing and helping her out when she's in serious trouble (which is almost all the time lol). Seriously one of the best heroines ever!

The story itself had me hooked right from the start and all the way through! It was very, very action-y and had a lot of emotion...I love a book with emotion! It made me almost cry, made me laugh, swoon, and everything in between. The ending had me practically hyperventilating! It wasn't a cliffhanger, per se, but its just the events and everything that happened that makes me want to know what will happen next.

I was also glad to see new characters/new friends of Gwen. Especially toward the end when they kicked butt together! Yeah!

My final words: It was AMAZING! If you have not read this series yet, get to it ASAP!

  1. I'm also following reading this serie and so far so good. I've given up quite some series because the story just wasn't going nowhere. I'm looking forward to the next book because this one ended with one of the characters leaving and I just want to know what happens to this person.
