I am not sure how to write a review/synopsis of this book without spoiling for new readers (so much happens you guys!). Instead, I will list some of the things I really enjoy about this book.
-Complex characters- Nobody is all good or all bad. Everyone is usually in the gray zone. This is communicated beautifully here. Even the bad guys have good redeeming qualities.
-Chapters told from different POV- Loved having access to different points of view from the same story line. You know what each character knows, what makes the tick, etc. Unlike other writers, the alternative POV enriches the storyline and is done seamlessly. Love it.
-Oh the irony! So many situations with verbal and dramatic irony! There are so many times I wanted to hop into the story and shake a main character by the shoulders while shouting, "He's lying to you!" No one character has all of the information, just like real life.
-The parallels between history/mythology and now- How much free will do we truly have? What happens to destiny? What hangs in the balance?
I highly recommend this book which encompasses many genres in my humble opinion (action, romance, paranormal, etc.). It is a fun and interesting read but makes you think and feel. Five stars.
***This book does not stand alone. In order to understand what's going on, you really need to read the first one.***

I loved this book! It was such a great continuation to the series, and reall did a lot to compliment if, rather than just having another start, it really felt as though this flowed really we'll from the first. lol to the second. Plus, well, I just could not put the book down!
I truly enjoyed the depth of character, in this second book. It really built upon the first. Giving us more background and really solidifying my connection with the characters, really made this book jump up in my list of favourites. It took the time to let us get to know characters more, and as the grew and became more familiar, I was more and more hooked.
The pace, just like the first book, is a great blend of faster paced fun and action, alongside moments that gave us time to get to catch up on the world around the characters. I liked that it was very easy to get swept up in the story and just flow along with it, from start to finish.
Overall, I am falling more in love with both this series and this author, as each book comes out. I highly recommend this book and really feel most fairytale and fantasy lovers will enjoy.

This is the second book in the series and book 1 needs to be read first.
Rose Perry has just moved to New York with her "boyfriend" Bruce Norton, partially to get away from Virgil Blake. She is trying to be happy with Bruce but she keeps thinking about Virgil and can't get him off her mind.
Virgil Blake is complicated. He has a past that involves Rose and knows that they are meant to be together but he has some things that need to be taken care of before they can be together.
Bruce Norton is not who Rose thinks he is and he has a reason for getting close to Rose and it's clear that she isn't going to be happy when she discovers why.
Can Rose make a decision between the two men who want her and when she discovers the truth about certain things what will she decide?
I liked this book but I had a hard time getting into it which frustrated me.
This book was almost darker than the first with the revelation of many secrets that have been kept. Both Virgil and Bruce had secrets they were keeping from Rose and it's clear that more is still going to come out in the next book.
I liked Rose and I understood why she left for New York with Bruce after having her heart broken by Virgil, which he wasn't meaning to do. Yet it was so evident that she wasn't over Virgil and was with Bruce somewhat for convenience. Now that Rose knows what she does it'll be interesting to see what happens in the next book.
I still really like Virgil and how flawed he is. I know why he needed Jade around him but it's interesting on what his "responsibilities" are and how he is being labeled for his actions. It was also really interesting to see what happened to his body when he and Rose were around each other.
The information I learned about Bruce this book I never saw coming and I know that it is far from over where he is involved.
The book had some twists and turns that I was definitely not expecting and looking forward to the next book.
