It is the sequel to Witchbane, although it can be read alone.
Seth and Evan are in love, and on the run, trying to stop a cycle of ritual murders. Is their bond strong enough to stop the killers and survive to make a future together?
Blurb One hundred years ago, a sheriff's posse killed dark warlock Rhyfel Gremory, but his witch-disciples escaped, and their magic made them nearly immortal. To keep their power, each year one of the witch-disciples kills a descendant of one of the men in the posse, a 12-year cycle that has cost dozens of lives, including that of Seth Tanner's brother, Jesse.
Seth uncovers a cycle of ritual murders that feed the witch-disciples' power, and he saves Evan Malone, one of the warlock's potential victims. Neither Seth nor Evan expected to fall in love, but when the dust settles, they find themselves on the run and on the road together, heading toward Pittsburgh, on the trail of the next killer.
Seth wonders whether Evan will come to regret his choice to stay together, now that he's living the reality of Seth's nomadic life and the risks that come with it. He wants Evan to stay, but he's afraid that Evan would be better off without him, living a normal life. Evan's whole world has been upended, but there's one thing he's sure of, his love for Seth. Evan worries that he's a liability, not yet able to hold his own in Seth's rough-and-tumble world, but determined to do whatever necessary to have Seth's back. On the way to face the next warlock, supernatural threats abound, forcing them to learn to fight as a team.
My Two Pennies' Worth
In this second book of the series the guys are making roads into a tentative relationship but both are insecure and have been badly burnt before. They are also learning to work together as a hunting team. There is no single focus for their skills this time, instead they face a variety of supernatural threats as they move across the country. There are no threads contenting these threats, the guys and the growth of trust between them is the thread holding the book together.
These books have a great world of magical and other supernatural creatures that live among humans, but unknown to them. In Witchbane I found Evan to be a tad irritating (if I was Seth I'd've probably left him to the witch several times), but he was much improved in this book.
The narrator did a great job and added to the overall enjoyment of the story.
A good urban fantasy series.
