Description
After ten years in hiding 17-year-old Zach made the mistake of returning to his wealthy hometown. He slammed head-on into the conspiracy that killed his parents, drove a childhood friend to suicide, and exploits teens to fulfill an ancient agenda of greed. Zach should have run. But he stayed, and now the consequences are burying him.
His blind pursuit of the town’s deepest secrets has left him injured and terrified. The answers he’s gotten about his true identity are more disturbing than he could have imagined. And his first love, Ashley, is in more danger than ever.
Zach’s desperate plan to save his crumbling world is derailed by the mysterious man he thought was his ally. Forced to team with Ashley’s ambitious sister who’ll help—for a price—he enters an alliance fraught with deception and betrayal.
As the League of Delphi’s vicious new security chief closes in on him, Zach is propelled back into the jaws of danger by a cryptic command from beyond this world. Will his misguided mission save Ashley? Or will it get them both killed?

Chris Everheart has written a smashing adventure/mystery/thriller that I had to read in one sitting, all three books. As such, I couldn't possibly review them individually, but each book stayed interesting, kept to the storyline, and didn't miss a beat of Everheart's wicked music, so I give them all five stars. The story follows Zach White, a mysterious teenager who leaves France after graduation to return to his even more mysterious hometown. Seems his mother left him with a curiosity he just had to satisfy. He returns to the town looking for answers, about his father's death ten years before, the paranoid insanity exhibited by his mother until her recent death, and why he can't use his real name anymore.
He finds a mystery girl who knows more than she can say, a mystery friend who may not really be a friend, a mystery enemy who may be a friend, and a town shoulder-deep in the biggest conspiracy of the planet. Finding his answers and putting a stop to the League of Delphi are at the top of Zach's list, but he can't help a little romance hitting him between the eyes in this excellent trilogy.
Chris Everheart speeds the pace up as Arcanville's hidden secrets come into view. It just gets better!
What little Zach knew when he came back to Arcanville is dwarfed now that he has learned about the secret society The League of Delphi and the lineages now living in this out-of-the-way town. The only people Zach trusts now are few. His mother's paranoia was not a mental illness. It was the sane response to events happening in the League of Delphi -- including things his own father was behind.

Loved the book, and just like the first book in the series, The League of Delphi, I will be sure to recommend it to everyone I know :)
Excellent continuation. Good plot. well-developed characters.
As the previous book in the series, a very enjoyable read. The concept is still going strong, and more secrets are unveiled. In a way, reminds me of Prodigy, the thinking who is right and who is wrong — as with Katie. Is she someone that I could trust or not? It still have the same pacing as its predecessor, not necessarily the best thing, as I found it to be a bit repeating. But nonetheless, a good read and the ending. Jesus, I definitely need to read the last one!

I received a copy from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This started right where the first book left off, so there wasn't anything missing. Zach is struggling with what he should do. Disappear and come back for Ashley when the time is right, or stay and fight the league. His choice is nearly made for him when Katie decides she wants to know who's ranked ahead of her at any cost. This moved at a much quicker pace than the first book, so it was very hard to put down. I can't wait to see how it all works out in the third book!
Picking up where the first book left off, Chris Everhart plunges the reader back into the mysterious and action packed world of Arcanville. Although some questions were answered in the first book, more questions remained and Zach and Ashley managed to find just as much trouble as the mysteries they uncovered.
All ages will enjoy this tale of age old secrets being brought to light as a pair of teenagers find that the idyllic college town is anything but. Follow them in a race to uncover centuries of hidden agendas and a secret society.
I eagerly await the third book in the series. Will Zach and Ashley break free of the Delphi Society, or be crushed by them.
