Rylee by Shannon Mayer

Rylee (The Rylee Adamson Epilogues, #1)

by Shannon Mayer

My name is Rylee and I was a Tracker. The final battle is over and The Blood of the Lost was spilled. In the aftermath, the humans still have mysteries they call upon me for. Except I can no longer Track, and my new abilities terrify me. A salvage is offered to me, and with it a chance to redeem myself. A missing girl, her brother desperate to find her. Simple and straightforward, this salvage should be a piece of cake - and a chance to learn some discipline with my powers. Except the girl is somehow tied to the world of the Elementals, and with that comes a danger I could never have expected. As I search for her, I realize it is not only her life that is on the line, but my soul and sanity as well, as the voices and unnatural needs in me grow more demanding. If I am to save us both, I must face the darkness within; and this time, I must do it all by myself.

I loved the Rylee Adamson series so I was very excited to see more of the gang. I adored these books but I will say that this series has become draining in some ways. Not because it's not great, it is, - but because there's a bloody lot happening and a lot to keep straight. And frankly, I don't think you can read these books without having read the Rylee Adamson series and the Elementals. There's too much crossover to avoid it and a lot you'll be confused about without it.

That said, this was great. A return to the Rylee of old, taking on a salvage and doing her thing. Obviously the fallout from the Blood of the Lost has left the gang changed and the epilogues follow each of the four characters as they adapt to the change that has been wrought and their own insecurities. But it also builds up to the next chapter in the world and the final book in the Elemental series, Destroyer.

In Rylee, Rylee is adjusting to her new Daywalker status and the loss of her tracker abilities. She worries about the safety of her family from herself, how she can be a tracker without any abilities and her new place in the world. It was fast paced, emotional and action packed. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing more of Rylee, only wish that the whole gang had featured rather than just Rylee and new characters.
