I downloaded this book as I was finishing Book 1. For once, I was so happy to be behind in a series.
I would have hated to have to wait.

Nevada Baylor hopes that she has seen the last of Connor “Mad” Rogan after the Adam Pierce case but fate has other plans, and we are so happy that it does.

We are also reintroduced to Cornelius Harrison of House Harrison, Adam Pierce’s forced friend, whom we met in the last story. Cornelius has come to Nevada for her help. His wife was brutally murdered and he wants he to find the person or persons involved in her death. Her employer is claiming no knowledge of why died, and threatening the smear her memory if Cornelius doesn’t let it go. The police won’t get involved in what they think is House business. So Nevada is his only hope for justice.

But Nevada’s investigation puts her in the path of Rogan since he too is investigating the death but for other reasons. Nevada may want to give Rogan a wide birth, but Cornelius is more than happy to accept Rogan’s agreement to work together.

This investigation once again throws Nevada and Rogan into the middle of the Conspiracy to destroy the social structure of House politics and take the current govement down with it.

And while Nevada claims she wants nothing to do with Rogan, it comes to light that part of her anger is due to the fact that after all Rogan’s talk about how much he wants her, he never once showed up to ask her on a date. Sexual tensions will hit a boiling point. Unless they are too busy trying to fight off mages or monster, these two can’t be in the same room without fighting or making out.

Nevada hasn’t been sitting on her butt waiting for her mad prince to not show up at her door. She has reading up on honing her own magic and while her circle drawing might be looking more Pre-K than Prime mage, there is no question that her abilities are increasing and growing stronger daily.

This time when Rogan and Nevada collide with the conspirators, it won’t only be Rogan making them quake in fear, and in the end, it might be time for a new House to emerge.

I loved every moment of this story: the wonderful characters; the world building; the action; and the romance. I jumped straight into Book 3 as soon as I got to the end.
