Title: ALLEGIANCE

Blurb...
Evangeline finally got what she longed for – the
cursed pendant off her neck and Caden in her arms - only it has come at a steep
price. An unknown poison now courses through her body, slowly morphing her into
something no one but the Fates can foresee. She has her suspicions
though...and, if she is right, it will spell certain ruin for her and Caden.
She won’t last long enough to realize that though, if Viggo and Mortimer
uncover the treasonous secrets she keeps from them– that Veronique is now free
of her entombment and in the torturous clutches of the Witches and the Sentinel
or that she is protecting a Sentinel within their very midst.
Always the naive human caught in the midst of the
vampires’ web of deceit, Evangeline is now weaving her own dangerous web in
order to keep her friend alive, rescue Veronique, and stop a seemingly
inevitable war from starting. But can her honourable nature handle the depths
of duplicity for which she must go to be in league with the Vampires?
Dark and gripping, full of angst-riddled scenes,
Allegiance will have readers anxiously turning pages to find out if Evangeline
can survive this spiraling disaster.
My take...
When we last seen Evangeline all hell had broken
loose and now she has a toxic poison flowing through her blood. A poison that
at any minute, could possibly kill anyone she touches. Not only that, but she
is withholding several secrets from everyone and trying to prepare for a war as
which this world has never seen. Kind of puts a damper on the whole "being
in love" thing.
It felt good stepping back into this world after
quite a while away from it. I forgot how enticing it was and how it just sucks
you in. It seems that no matter where Evangeline goes, trouble is sure to
follow. The girl gets holed up in some of the most far off places and she still
manages to bring about drama and problems...for everyone. But it wouldn't be a
story if there wasn't drama, right?
One of the things I was most looking forward to
was Caden. I remembered I loved him throughout the first two. But I am going to
admit something. Something horrifyingly shocking. I was a little peeved at him.
Gasp! I know! But through the whole first half the boy ticked me off. He knows
that his time with Evangeline is limited, yet he still manages to avoid her. It
broke my heart. And when a certain twist happens half way through, all of a
sudden he wants her again. I do not like this about him. Not one bit. It just
didn't sit well with me.
I felt really bad for Evangeline. She has no idea
what to expect from her life now that she could be turned into a hideous
killing machine. No one does. But, to me, she is taking it rather well. With
all the secrets she is keeping and the tension that is mounting daily, I would
have cracked a long time ago. But not Evangeline, she keeps on trucking along.
Brilliant and engaging storyline, this book kept
me wondering if Evangeline would make it out of this hell she is forced to live
in and had me sitting on the edge of my seat throughout a majority of it. I
definitely recommend it and looking forward to ANOMALY, which I started
immediately after this one.
