Therin’s urban fantasy series returns to empath Reece and secret agent Evan Grayson as they continue to investigate several murders that seem to be connected to empathy. Reece’s abilities are changing and becoming potentially dangerous, making it more important than ever that Agent Grayson maintain his impartiality and his ability to stop Reece if he becomes too much of a threat. Grumpy Reece and outwardly impassive Agent Grayson maintain close quarters as they investigate a series of empath murders, testing their boundaries even as their romantic attraction grows. The safety of not only the nation’s empaths but every American depends on Reece’s ability to control his new abilities or, if he fails, on Agent Grayson’s will to stop him at any cost.
VERDICT Will satisfy those looking for more momentum in the series’ central romance as well as fans compelled by the investigation. Second-act revelations will have readers clamoring for the next installment; those new to the series should begin with book one, Liar City.
