Rating: 4 Stars
Official Blurb:
Riley’s lost the last damned thing she’s willing to lose.
She’s declaring war and prisoners are optional.
After escaping the FBI, Riley and her family
have become fugitives, and not just from the law. Every bad guy on the planet
wants a piece of Riley. Gregg has been kidnapped. Worse than that, Price’s newly
discovered magic is dangerously out of control, and her own is trying to kill
her. She has little time to worry about any of that before all hell breaks
loose in Diamond City, and she finds herself smack dab in the crossfire.
With the clock ticking down, Riley gathers her
friends and family to execute a Hail Mary plan that will pit them against seven
of the most dangerous thugs in Diamond City, a serial killer, Riley’s
psychopath father, and a mysterious billionaire with plans of his own. If she
succeeds, she makes herself an even bigger target. If she fails, everybody she
cares about dies.
But the shadows hold danger even Riley will
never see coming . . . .
Another great
edition to the DCM series! Riley hits her stride in this book when the
metaphorical and literal crap hits the fan around her. For the first real time
since the series started, she stands on her own two feet and is a force to be
reckoned with. She protects those who
can’t protect themselves, which I love about her. As each book has been added
to this series, you get introduced to a different facet of Riley’s personality.
She’s the finder of wayward people, protector of those she loves, and now has
come full circle in to her powers. Her
lover, Price, has changed in power, and without her anchoring him to the
ground, he would have imploded. The
intensity of their relationship grows with each book, and in this one in
particular, you get a sense of how much they really do need each other.
To call this
book the series game changer is an understatement. Shades of Memory sets the tone for the
upcoming books, and it is a tone of excitement for me. I just wish the next book would be releasing
much sooner!
