My Review:
4 Stars
A great continuation in the series.
Mikah feels as if he has failed Vivienne. He wasn't there when her past caught up with her. Now he has to wait and see if she can fight to keep not only her life, but he life of her unborn child as well.
Then something that Mikah didn't see coming happens. He's heard the lore, but never thought that it would pertain to him. Now he knows why he's been so drawn to Vivienne and her unborn child. They are his destiny.
I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Excerpt:
I pull the detective’s card from my pocket, dial the number
and wait.
“Hhhello?”
The voice is tentative, groggy from sleep. Not like the
confident officer I met last night. “Detective Stevens?” I ask.
He clears his throat. “Yes.”
Much better. “This is Mikah Blake. We met last night.”
“Oh, of course. What can I do for you?”
“I sent you an email this morning that shows your boy Riley
meeting his dad outside my building around two this morning. I have a security
detail working on the full video exchange.”
“Are these cameras yours? The ones used to capture these
images?”
“Yes, I had the security system installed a couple years
ago, the previous one was shit.” I can hear my own irritation coming through.
“If we find something you can use, you call your evidence boys and have them come get it.”
“Uh...that’s great. Thank you.” I can hear it in his voice:
He’s not used to being told how to do his job.
“Don’t thank me yet. I want a report on Vivienne’s building
from last night.”
“It doesn’t work like that, Blake. This isn’t quid pro quo
here. What is your need to know?” The skepticism can be heard in his voice and
the pain in my back spikes.
“Because when I arrived here this morning, there was a cab
parked outside. Still is. I’d like to know when it arrived.”
“I can’t do that, Mr. Blake.”
“Don’t give me that bullshit. Why don’t you call your guy
parked down the block from her apartment and ask him. Then we can move on from
there.”
“Alright, hang on.” There is a series of clicks. Then he
comes back on the line. Ring. “Blake?”
“Yup.” Ring. “Thanks, Detective.” I know he’s violating
company policy. Ring. And, I know it’s killing him to give in to my demands.
“Yeah.” Irritation fills his voice. Ring. “Just don’t say
anything when he answers.” Ring.
Click. ”You’ve reached the voicemail of Officer Anders.
Please leave—” Click.
“What the hell?” Stevens says. “It’s ringing, so it’s on.
But why not answer?”
“Let’s find out, shall we?”
