Review
Holy. Freaking. Hell. Is there no end to the mastery Candace Knoebel wields over creating the most amazing, enthralling and spell-binding reads? I am a huge fan and have been from the very beginning, but it seems like every book she turns out just gets better and better and I cannot wait for more from this awe-inspiring author.
Continuing with all the chaos and heartache from the first book, this one took the action, discord, anger and pain to colossal heights as Knoebel pushed her characters past their known strengths, forcing them to dig deeper than ever before. Especially poor Faye. Very much a pawn in a game of power and destruction, she was forced to finally face the truth about the abilities she possessed, about the role she'd play as the Everlasting, and even though the road to the truth was riddled with torture and agony, it was great to see her come into her own. And once she harnessed her powers and took control of them, I couldn't help feeling proud of her. She may have hated herself for what she was capable of but she was able to make a difference when the time came, instead of being pushed into the shadows, quite literally, while those she cared about most risked their lives to protect her.
This book also saw Faye and Jaxen's relationship move to a whole other level. They were the perfect fit. One soul split in two, finally coming back together. The complication of Jezi and the affinity mark was still there but it was great to see everyone working as a team, and I sense a shift in the complexity of their situation.
Filled with many surprises, twists and turns, this was a tangled web of lies and deception - the question of who to trust always at the forefront. Never a dull moment, I was held captive from the very beginning, and the ending left many burning questions in my mind. I cannot wait for the third book, to continue on this journey with these characters. To see them kickass, and bring down the corruption and evil that lurks in every corner.
SEE WHERE IT ALL BEGAN!
Everlasting (Night Watchmen, #1)
What if your destiny lay on the other side of death?
The annual Culling ceremony is a day every coming-of-age novice looks forward to within the Primeval Coven. It’s the start to being initiated into the Night Watchmen, humankind’s protectors, and it’s the long-awaited day when novices discover if they’re a Hunter or a Witch.
But this day is not a happy one for Faye Middleton. Not when she’s known her whole life that she’s a Defect and is about to face banishment in front of her fellow novices. She’s forced to attend the Culling with little hope for her future, but what she discovers about herself is far worse than she could’ve imagined. And far more dangerous.
Thrown into training and separated from her friends, Faye must learn to adjust. She struggles to find her place within the Coven, and with Jaxen Gramm, the darkly handsome and extremely unnerving man assigned to watch and protect her. Emotions run high, and when she discovers a deadly secret about him, her struggles deepen. As corruption within the Coven begins to unravel, Faye pieces together her role in saving the future of her people, and within Jaxen’s life...but will the truth save her, or be her undoing?
