"Will keep your mind and emotions on edge"
Danger hunts Cassie West. Her entire life, her aunt has
warned her to keep hidden the unique abilities she
possesses, though she refuses to tell her why or anything
else about her life, where she came from, who her parents
were. But Cassie wants answers now. On her way to confront her
aunt, she meets Nate Chambray and Seth Hawkins who she
knows she must have met before but can't place where. She
is immediately drawn to Nate, but when her aunt comes to
harm and pleads with Cassie to flee to The Lotus Circle
where she will find both safety and answers, Cassie is
determined to do just that. Until Nate demands to place her
safety into his own hands while it grows apparent he and
Seth know more about her and her abilities than they've let
on. This novel is full of suspense. Whether Nate should be
trusted or not is a wonderfully crafted tightrope of the
story where we aren't sure whether Cassie should run from
him or to him until the very end. I have to admit, I was
never quite sure myself and sometimes I just wanted to slap
the man on the backside of his head for being so cryptic
all of the time. This is also a story of self discovery and empowerment as
Cassie learns about who she is and what she can do and how
much she is willing to take on faith. This is one that will
keep your mind and emotions on edge.
