Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):

Ash may have escaped the immortal-worshipping cult that killed her mother, 

but the love of her life is still under its thrall. Dane has been possessed by 

his diabolical ancestor Coronado, a man who's fabulously wealthy, dripping 

with fame, and the leader of Europe's most dangerous immortal network. 

Dane begs Ash to join him at Coronado's castle in Spain, and swears that his 

blood bond with Ash is stronger than 

Coronado's hold over him. 

Beware Spoilers Ahead Since This Is Book Two

Finished this one in just under a day. It was a shorter read but it was nice to

go back and visit characters from the first book Blood and Salt. The pacing

did feel a little off and it wasn't quite the same as Book One. The bases of this

book is that Ash`s twin Rhys is missing and bodies have been turning up. She

believes her brother is connected to these events.

Ash`s blood has the power to heal while Rhys blood has the power to kill. Liggett`s

style of writing is so suspenseful so every chapter it was hard to stop and go eat.

The plot is slow paced in the beginning but once Ash has a run in with Dane the

story picks up. The two`s fierce passion as well as hatred for each other is tangible.

This story is dark and delves into the history of the ancestor`s possessing Dane

and who tried to possess Ash.

Coronado is the leader of Europe's most elected and dangerous group of immortals.

Now that Dane is filling those shoes he must convince them that Ash is

possessed by Coronado`s love and enemy Katia Larkin. Trickering this

criminals into believing it is only half the problem. Someone is killing the immortals

and all paths lead back to Rhys.
