Alex has called it quits and stormed off, leaving Harlow alone and vulnerable in the danger zone with little chance of survival and a broken heart.
Luckily Jax finds her and brings her back to the caves. However, little does she know she’s returning with multiple souvenirs.
Standing out for all the wrong reasons has become Harlow’s specialty, and as the effects of her vertic switz tattoo set in and new issues are brought to light, she and her friends will find themselves in the line of fire with Rae and Electra.
Despite Jax’s attempts to neutralise the colour system, the Winter caves have become a death trap for Harlow, and Summer’s castle is no place for a Zeek. Harlow’s only sanctuary might be Spring’s Drake village, but her former ties to a Vallon are sure to cause friction with some of the residents.
Tough decisions will need to be made, but will she make the right ones?

Narration: 5 out of 5 fairies
Overall: I was so excited to dive back into this series, and book two did not disappoint! I know that often the second book is a let-down, but this one blew me away.
Story: First, let me say you should really start with book one, or you might feel a bit lost. The characters we got to know well in the first installment are back, and dealing with the fall out of their decisions, and complicated relationships. This was just as captivating as book one, and I was reluctant to hit pause while listening to it. I cannot wait to dive into book three!
Narration: This was wonderfully done, with great acting, and it was easy to distinguish between characters. I love books with multiple voice actors, as they really seem to bring the story to life and add a depth to it. They were all excellent narrators, and I’d definitely listen to more of their work in the future.
