Mason Blackwell had a lot to deal with growing up. You can almost feel his pain and I don’t mean just the emotional. Our author shows that some people may be an adult but that not all of them are nice and some are a little sick. We have one more story where it seems that the adults have failed the children and in this case that child is Mason. Megan Thorne is not what he expects. She has a few surprises for us but you have to be patient.

Our author takes her time to build this story and it doesn’t feel choppy by doing that either. She held my attention from beginning to end. This second book in The Elite Seven series is not for those that prefer vanilla. For me, that takes a back seat to a secondary character that seems to have a secret agenda. Finding out what her deal is became important because she’s the reason that this group that has come together.

Most of the story is told from Mason’s point of view, which makes sense since it’s his story to tell. But then the author sneaks in Megan’s and we need that so we know what she’s thinking and what she has to say. I found that interesting especially when she reveals something important.

If you haven’t started this series by reading Lust, you could go ahead and read this first since the series is just starting. But for now, I would think about reading it in order and then once it’s done you can go back and switch it up then. Once I got to the end, this author had me thankful that the next book will be out shortly. I’m really looking forward to see what happens with the next deadly sin.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
