REVIEW

There's nothing better than a series that keeps you on your toes.  This installment in the HON Series is no different.  I blew through it in no time and loved every minute of it. 

When Neferet seems to have lost everything, she takes matters into her own hands.  Zoey and her friends are in a bind and must get help from even those the don't trust.  There's only so much Zoey can take and the Seer Stone is becoming a pain.  Seeking the truth yet not knowing who to turn to when she believes she sees her ex-boyfriend from HS, it's all Zoey can take when it comes to the men in her life.  While her heart wants to believe one thing her head is telling her it cannot be real.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel for everyone and Neferet had it coming when she kidnapped someone beloved by all of Zoey's friends.  It's one thing to take away a family member that's already blew you off, it's quite another to threaten someone as close to Zoey as her grandma.

Absolutely loved this installment to the series!  Moving on to Neferet's Curse.
