Synopsis

After a few months as a vampire, Alyssa thought she’d learned all she needed to know about the supernatural world. But her confidence is shattered by the delivery of a mysterious package – a Pandora’s Box.
Seemingly innocuous, the box is in reality an ancient prison, generated by a magic more powerful than anyone in her clan has ever known. But what manner of evil could need such force to contain it?
When the box is opened, the sinister creature within is released, and only supernatural blood will satiate its thirst. The clan soon learns how it feels when the hunter becomes the hunted.
Powerless against the ancient evil, the clan flees Las Vegas for Boston, with only a slim hope for salvation. Could Lysander’s old journals hold the key? And what if they don’t?
And how welcome will they be in a city run by a whole different kind of supernatural being?
Werewolves…

My Thoughts:

This book picked up right where Hunters and Prey left off which was nice to see. Fallon find a mysterious box on the door step and end up opening it even though Lyssa knows that this is a bad idea. Fallon says that the box was calling to her to open it. What happen next is terror for everyone. They have unleashed something that it out to destroy them and does destroy Rozaline, Nicholas’ mate which put everyone on edge and trying to figure out how to get this spirit back in the box it came from. This mission takes them to Boston to retrieve Lysander’s old journals. All they find there is dead bodies and trouble with the werewolves who think they are at fault. They have to work together with the wolves to solve this problem.

As with the previous two books, this was one that captured my attention and held it throughout the entire book. the style of writing appeals to me and I just feel like I have a connection with the characters. The most frustrating part of this book is the end, a HUGE cliffhanger! I cannot wait for more from this dynamic group. What I liked the most about this book is the addition of the werewolves and witches. I think it rounded the story out. I also liked that there was not a lot of talk about the hunting itself. All in all, another great story by Katie Salidas.
