Synopsis

(From Amazon.com)

It's been months since Aria learned of her mother's death.

Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.

Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It's a moment they've been longing for with countless expectations. And it's a moment that lives up to all of them. At least, at first. Then it slips away. The Tides don't take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry's control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?

Threatened by false friends and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder, Can their love survive through the ever night?


My Verdict

I’ve seriously had this book from the library for eight weeks. It wasn’t until the day before it was due for the second time that I finally started it. I knew it was going to be good so I don’t know what took me so long to pick it up.

Once again author, Veronica Rossi, wastes no time diving right into the action, which I love! Since all the world building already took place in book one this book was able to focus more on the characters and developing their relationships with one another.

I wasn’t that big of a Perry fan in the first book but we really got to learn a lot more about him in this book and I started to like him a lot more! That said, Roar is still my favorite. He was a lot more prevalent in this book and we learned a lot about his past with Liv.

Once again the ending was both perfectly satisfying yet left you dying for the next installment!! When the third book comes out I won’t make the same mistake by letting it sit there for eight weeks, I’ll start reading while I’m still in the store.
