Goodreads Blurb: Olivia Ann Greyson is a Charmer, a Dhampir with the power to lure the supernatural world’s most dangerous of creatures – and she’s in an impossible situation. She must leave behind Caleb Wolfe, the strong, protective vampire she has fallen madly in love with, in order to learn how to protect herself from the vampires, shifters and demons that will be drawn to her for the rest of her life.

Human Guardian, Alec Lambert, has been assigned to see to Olivia’s training by the organization he belongs to, which is known simply as The Brethren. He takes Olivia to the group’s stronghold in the mountainous regions of Alberta, Canada, where she discovers the answers to her family’s painful past and the extent to which those hunting her will go to capture her. But she also uncovers many secrets and even more questions about this mysterious group she has trusted to protect her – secrets that will have her fighting to get back to the man she left behind.

. . . but will it be too late?

My Review: I did not know what to expect with this being the second book of The Charmed Trilogy and the way the first book left off. We all know how many series tend to weaken a bit as they go on. That DID NOT happen here. It continued to hold strong, it’s actually my favorite so far! A definite must read for paranormal romance fans, I do recommend reading the series in order. Even though this can be read as a stand-alone (it was very well written), you’ll miss out on a great build between Olivia and Caleb :)

Olivia is now training, strengthening herself and her powers so she can defend herself and not need to rely on another for sole protection. She’s discovered many things about herself and what she is truly capable of. She’s also discovered her weaknesses and has learned to accept her vampire side. Some shocking secrets are uncovered and Olivia (finally) finds herself where she belongs.

Caleb is still one hot alpha vampire that can make any woman drool. He’s extremely overprotective of those he holds dear and will not let anything stop him from protecting them. He has come a long way from book 1 in the series and I admire him more and more as the series progresses.

I’m VERY excited to get my hands on the next book in the series. I want to see how Caleb and Olivia are continuing their new relationship and know if there’s any actual progress between Jax and Gemme. I adore all of Christine’s characters, bravo!
