This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

This book was hard to put down as there was such tension between Tanner and Chantel! Tanner hated Chantel as he believed that she was responsible for his best friend's death and did not even give her a chance to explain details that would have proved she really followed orders.

They are ordered to work together and find a mysterious artifact that has great power and could be dangerous in the wrong hands. The journey as they search for the last path of the box keeps you on the edge of your seat! There is one huge twist that causes a big problem for Tanner.

I loved that we see more of the previous characters and see what is going on in their lives. I wonder if the ruby will figure in events in the future, could it help them or will it destroy the people that use it? I look forward to the next book as I love these characters!

I requested this book not reading books one own two knowing there was a chance that I would need to do that in order to understand this series and the back story. There are a lot of book that you can pick up enough information in the current book and not miss too much, this is not one of those series or books. I will need to go back and read books one and two before continuing to read book three. Anyone new to this series will need to do the same.

Overall a good story. interesting plot. Looking forward to reading more by M.s Brennan
