“Lost in despair, Alexis teeters on the edge of an abyss, her lifeline of hope fraying into a thin thread. If it snaps, she’ll plunge into complete darkness. With the help of her son and her writing, she’s been able to hold on. Until now. Erratic impulses, disturbing delusions and her own demonic blood threaten her sanity. When she’s forced to choose between hanging onto hope or letting go to serve her Amadis purposes, she faces a decision with inconceivable sacrifices.

Alexis runs to the one place she thinks will provide answers, only to find herself at the center of another battle of good versus evil, not only with the Daemoni, not only within herself…but also against the worst opponent imaginable. But even if she wins, what will she lose?”

I have never cried, laughed, and been so emotional while reading a book. Ms. Cook really did a number on me. While the first book blew me away, this one left me in the dust.
Alexis can’t seem to find her soul. Left torn apart by her husbands absence she refuses to believe he is gone. She knows that he is alive and she needs to find him before time runs out. She fights everyone lies, believing in only the one thing she has left, her son.
WOW! This book just took my breathe away. Alexis emotions were so strong I cried in this book. I felt her ups and downs. I fought for her right to fight. I felt so bad when she was struggling. She cried, yelled, screamed, got angry, but not once did she give up. I admired her strength and her purpose. Her purpose to find her husband and save her family.
I loved how well the plot  and the emotions, OMG, the emotions in this book played out.  I cried so much, I had to put the book down just to get a hold of myself. And then when everything got better, I cried again. And when the family got united, I cried again. I loved the action in the book. The fighting was awesome. Not only did they fight physically, but emotionally as well. Fighting for their lives, their souls. Which way would they choose?
If you have not read this series, you should. The ending could not have been written even more beautiful then it was. It was perfect.
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!
P.S. This is not a YA book. I simply reviewed because I love it. Hey, I’m a book lover. That’s what I do.

  3. Great review—I love it when the second in a series is just as strong as the first. And I don’t think you should just be restricted to YA books on your blog! It’s your blog, do what you want to do!
