Book Description
No longer in high school, Chloe Lilywhite is now living and working in Annar, the Magicals’ city-state plane of existence. Since moving, she’s joined the Council, gone on missions with the Guard, moved into her own apartment, and enrolled at the University of Annar. Plus, she’s happily engaged to be married to Jonah Whitecomb, the literal man from her dreams, not to mention her Connection. While she still struggles with aspects of her craft, Chloe feels like she’s finally coming into her own, especially after a difficult year that had her questioning nearly everything in her life.
After a brutal attack by the Elders, her life is turned upside down once more. Accusations fly throughout the Council and Guard, forcing Chloe to confront her worst fears about what’s she’s capable of as a Creator. And then there’s the matter of Kellan Whitecomb, Jonah’s twin brother and Chloe’s ex, who resurfaces after disappearing months before. Although Chloe chose Jonah, and despite their best efforts, the two find it hard to stay away from one another.
But no matter what Fate throws at her, Chloe is determined to take charge of her life, even as it begins to spiral out of control.

Hmph. This book really pulls at my heartstrings. I read this a while ago and my heart is still aching a bit, and I think it will ache until A Matter of Truth comes out, which is expected in December of this year. The heartache aside, this is probably one of my favorite books I have ever read. This book is very well written and if you are looking for something that will elicit many emotions from you, then this is the book to read. Heather Lyons is the master of emotions and it is tough for authors to be so good at writing that it actually makes you feel these emotions while you are reading the story.
I want to say that I really am not a fan of love triangles. I kind of hate them to be completely honest, but I did not feel that way with this book. It didn't really bother me and I found myself rooting for things to actually happen to mix up this love triangle even more. And I must say, I think I am officially rooting for Kellan. In the first book, I think I felt as if Jonah was the right choice, but I have definitely been swayed in the opposite direction with this book. I think it even began towards the end of the first one, but by this one I am sold on Kellan.
I think I expected this ending. I think I expected it to happen so much because I believe I would have done the same thing in Chloe's position. I am not sure if I think she is selfless or selfish, but I know my reaction would have been the same, if not similar. I don't know if other people expected how this book ended, but even though it leaves us on a cliffhanger, I was still satisfied with how it ended because I know that the third book will be EPIC. And I know Heather will deliver on this.
So on that note, this book deserves a big 5 out of 5 stars and I would recommend this book until the day I die.
