This book is about Ezekiel (Jericho’s brother from The Devil’s Pawn Duet). I loved the books about Jericho and his relationship with his brother and I’m glad that Ezekiel finally gets his own book and we learn his full story since there were so many mysteries surrounding him. So Ezekiel is a member of the secret society but his family has really suffered some horrible tragedies and he’s being blackmailed for something he did years ago. Ezekiel is able to find out that Blue is blackmailing him but he is not exactly sure what she knows about what he did. So he decides to keep her hostage in an empty house until he can find out all her secrets. Now Blue indeed has a lot of secrets. She has been horribly disfigured and is on the run with her sister who has some sort of illness. Blue is only blackmailing Ezekiel because she needs the money so that her and her sister can move to Canada. Unfortunately Ezekiel is a very dark man who is tormented by his past and the secrets he has kept hidden. He longs for a life like his brother with a wife and family but he can’t get past the horrible things he feels let occur. Blue has had terrible things happen to her but her scars are on the outside and Ezekiel’s scars are inside. These two are meant to be together. The attraction and desire sizzles between them, this is an age gap romance since he is significantly older than her. I like how Blue has had to be tough and although she tries to stand up to Ezekiel it’s just useless but she never stops. I like how Ezekiel thought this would be an easy mission, find out what she knows, get rid of her and then leave town, but he become caught up in her and his feelings for her. This was another amazing story from Natasha Knight with lots of mysteries, twists and turns, secrets and suspense and of course another cliffhanger.
