The passion and love between all of the characters is amazing. The passion between Ariella and Kyanite is enough to ignite the page, although the latent attraction that the reader can sense between Apolla and Maximus is pretty intense also. Apolla and Ariella are obviously already as close as sisters as friends can be, and that feeling of trust and love jumps off the page as well. The secondary characters are very well developed and I can't wait for the next story in this series. This story has secrets, magic and passion, three things that make a reader beg for more. As the story moves through the plot it shows how love can indeed conquer all, but that there should never be anything less than honesty between friends and lovers. The author does an amazing job of bringing emotions to life and passion to the forefront. The sex is incredible and it showcases all of the other emotions in the story. The first of a new series, this is a book that should be on everyone's "to buy" list.
