They say if you take a secret to the grave, the truth will stay buried.
But that’s not exactly true in my case, and each hidden truth that surfaces turns out to be even more dangerous than the last. As a medium, I’m used to seeing the line that divides the living from the dead. Almost crossing said line? Yeah…I’ll never get used to that.
Though every secret I unearth seems to push me closer and closer to that very fate. I’m not exactly helpless this time around, at least. I’ve spent the last few months training and learning everything I can about magic, and having a demon-hunting boyfriend doesn’t hurt either.
Just when it seems like I’m finally getting things figured out, I discover the biggest lie of them all, and it changes everything…including my ability to trust the very person I thought I could count on more than anyone, leaving me to face the darkness just how I did before.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

Anora and Ethan now live in Thorne Hill and we start to see how their lives on now that they’re on their own.  Anora takes care of her horses, they work on clearing out the house and Ethan sometimes has order work.  It seems like a normal life, except Anora is getting bits and pieces of her memory back, she working on her magic, a druid/fae friend stops by for an extended visit and so do some demons…ya know, normal.

I spent a lot of this book waiting for Callie and Anora to run into each other (it doesn’t happen) but it was always in the back of my mind anytime she ventured out and lead to some slight disappointment.  There is no promise from the author that this will ever happen, but since they’re both in the same small town and Anora loves Novel Grounds I figure it has to happen.  This is something I need to work through.

I did love the new characters that we meet in this installment.  I want Anora to have friends and people to lean on.  She’s starting to get that and it makes me happy to know that there are people who accept her for who she is and don’t look down on her because of her powers.  I have a feeling as this series moves on, she’s going to need that support system.
