A very intense story that has betrayal, forced separation of the main characters, secrets revealed, intense machinations behind the scenes that affect the main characters, and manipulation of the public's perception of the main characters. And once the perceived manipulation doesn't produce the desired results, it turns physical.
I felt bad for Brandon because he was deceived as well. And when it is a person that you trust and love, the betrayal is even worse. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how deep it goes so I feel for him when it all comes to light. He has an inkling, but he didn't want to ask the questions that would leave no doubt in his mind.
I was very invested in this story and tried to read it as slowly as possible because I knew it was ending on a cliff hanger. I knew that I would not have all the answers at the end of the book so I cannot wait until the third installment is released.
This is the second book out of the trilogy for Andi and Luke. There's a bit more tension between the two, but beautifully done. I love the workings of their relationship. There's lots of action and drama that will keep you page turning and being for more.
