Since her parents’ betrayal, Cassie Scot has had a hard time
forgiving her parents and picking up the pieces of her life. Owing a life debt
to Evan Blackwood hasn’t helped. Not only is the guy really hot, but he’s
already proposed marriage and Cassie’s not sure if she wants to get married.
Her family that disowned her is falling apart. According to her brother,
Nicholas, no one’s powers are working right and their mom has gotten really sick
and no one knows why. Asked to take on a case by her brother and Evan, Cassie
finds herself heading down to Arkansas to not only try and make some sense of
her life, but also to find two girls who are distant cousins and have gone
missing from summer camp. When magical foul play is suspected, it will not only
take Cassie, Evan, and his family and friends, but also her estranged family
members to solve the case and bring the girls back alive. Will Cassie succeed
in solving the case? Will she be able to patch up her relationship with her
family and get her life in order? Will she accept Evan’s marriage proposal?
Narrator, Melissa Reizian Frank brings to life this delightful
sequel in ways readers could never have anticipated. Her unique voices that
bring to life the human-like characters is just one of the many things that
makes this an excellent addition to this book. The book, despite the
seriousness of some of the stuff going on, still manages to have some humor
mixed in and the narrator easily switches between it all. The plot is even more
well-developed and draws the listener easily into Cassie’s world. Perhaps the
best part is when listeners get a chance to look into Cassie’s mother’s past or
when Cassie finally makes a decision about Evan. Although the ending predicts
much more to come, paranormal mystery and romance fans who have read the first
one will be kept on the edge of their seat and have a hard time putting this one down.
5 stars. ADULT
