I regret that it has taken me so long to return to Jaya’s world, but I’m glad I finally made the time. This series is a cross between mystery and adventure, and I love watching the plot unfold. It kept me off balance in the best way, and I was glued to the page from beginning to end. Jaya and Lane are the only returning characters who get much page time, and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow. The book is filled with colorful new characters that I absolutely loved. As always, we get a little bit of India’s history along with the story, and I appreciate that aspect of the series. If you are looking for a page turning good time, this is the book to pick up.
