My Rating:
Author Synopsis: Dying at the hands of a psycho was a shock.
Having my life returned to me by an angel was incredible. Being named a
Supernatural Treasure and being given Sam as my guard was pretty darn awesome.
Acquiring a debt for it all—well, I should have seen it coming.
Now here we are,
fighting demons from Hell, caring for a boy that I just don’t trust, and
traveling to faraway places to return a treasure to its rightful place. Nothing
is as it seems. Everyone wears a mask; everyone puts on a charade. It’s up to
us to separate the truth from the lies and reality from fiction. A hard task when
my new reality involves fallen angels, witches and dragons… and did I mention
Hell?
Anchoring me down
through it all is Sam. Sam, who must face tragedies of his own and is put to
the test again and again.
If we fail in our
task, life as we know it—life as you know it—will end. Forever.
I really loved book one (Masquerade),
but I have to say Charade has
definitely surpassed its predecessor.
Book two picks up where book one left off, with some little
"reminders" to get the reader back in the groove, and we're taken on
one heck of an adventure with Sam, Heven, Cole, and even some new
characters.
This book is jam-packed.
Just when you think you have one thing figured out, another curveball is
thrown in and you're twisting and turning through another subplot—woven
seamlessly into the main plot. Things
are getting much more complicated for Heven and Sam, though the focus of this
book isn't entirely on them or their relationship. Logan is thrown in the mix and even Cole is
given a much larger role in the story.
(I think Cole is probably my new favorite character!)
There seems to be much more darkness and suspense to this
novel. It's almost as if we now know who
the players are and we're waiting to see how the game unfolds. Of course, it isn't quite over yet! Now we have to wait for book three…
