Also, high fives to Glendon Haddix for the cool cover design and Shelley Hollow for the editing (her edits are also cool). Before you jump in, please give me a moment to thank Kendra Highley and Becca Andre, my tireless beta readers. They’ve been up to… Well, you’ll find out. Thank you, good reader, for picking up another adventure with Rias and Tikaya. Not to say, I didn’t like it, far from it, it just wasn’t quite what I was expecting. And while peppered with sweet, intellectual moments between the lovebirds, I missed the more puzzle solving, archaeological influences of the first book. The antagonists in this book mainly are trying to scare off our main characters. Now they must fight to clear their names and to gain acceptance on the island before its too late.Now, overall, the plot of this book lacked a lot of the sense of danger that defined the first book. However, things don’t quite go as they planned when Rias and Tikaya are arrested before they even leave the docks. Therefore, I can’t recommend this book unless you’ve already read Encrypted.Now that Rias and Tikaya have escaped their captors, and the ruins, alive, its time for the scariest prospect of them all – introducing her new beau to the family.

I like this series better than her main Emperor’s Edge series.The action in this book directly follows the the action from the first book.

The first novel in this series, Encrypted, is the first thing I ever read by Lindsay Buroker, and the novel that got me hooked on her world.
