Short Synopsis: Skye is recuperating after Devin was told to kill Skye by the Guardians. When Skye comes to, everything has changed, and Skye must learn to control her powers and choose which side she wants to be in.
My Thoughts: Still an interesting read, but wasn't quite as good as the first in the series, however, still looking forward to reading the last in the series.
When she wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings, Skye knows something terrible has happened to her. It's not until she hears Asher, the dark, rebellious angel she fell in love with, that the memories come flooding back. She tries to put the past behind her, but she knows she'll be forever haunted by the ruthless betrayal that almost took her life.
Skye returns home, but with the knowledge of who she really is, nothing can ever be the same. As she tests the limits of her newfound powers, Skye discovers that she's capable of far more than anyone could have imagined. Both the Order and the Rebellion want her for their side as war between the factions looms. She can't forget the terrifying truth she now knows about the Order, but something holds her back from embracing the Rebellion.
--From Goodreads
Very drama filled, Skye wakes up from healing a horrible wound after the Guardians ordered Devin to kill Skye. Skye finds out that everything has changed. The Guardians have now taken control of Sye's hometown, her friends Cassie and Dan have become an item, and most shocking of all, Devin has bonded with Raven. Skye is still trying to control her powers, but she must now choose which side to pledge her loyalties to, The Guardians, or The Rebellions.
Though I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like if it had all the chaos filled like Skye's I still felt that Sky was a little bit whiny in some parts. Yeah, your life is rough, but what else is she supposed to do?
And I'm not really feeling up to the love triangle built in this novel. Yes, Skye is now with Asher. And Devin is now with Raven. And when Skye gets a moment alone with Devin, she automatically wants him to kiss her. Um, hello. First he tried to kill you. Second, both are with someone else. What happened to a monogamous relationship?
When Skye overhears a conversation with Arideth and Gideon, she discovers that she could become a ticking time bomb at any moment, and it could mean a winning decision for which ever side acquires Skye on their side. Skye must learn to control her powers before it's too late, and choose a side between The Guardians and The Rebels. But her heart and love for Asher gets in the way of making the right choice for her. Overall, I wasn't as thrilled with this one as I was with the first, but I will definitely still be looking out for the next installment.
Would I recommend this book: Sure
Rating: I give this book a 4/5.
