Rachel Vincent's clear, witty writing style shows through
in this second installment of the Unbound series. The novel
is told from two different perspectives, Kori and Ian. The
reader will appreciate the differences in the tone and
writing style of each character, setting them apart as
memorable characters. Within a few chapters of meeting, the
readers will probably be able to literally feel the
romantic tension between the two characters. Though they
frustrate each other, they have a certain spark between
them, a spark especially apparent in the dialogue.
Kori is a shadow walker and can step from one shadow to
another. She is under the dictatorship of the Jack Towers
crew and forced to do as they say...partially to protect
her sister. Ian wants to bring Towers to his knees. The two
should have a lot in common, but Kori is worried that Ian
will interfere with her mission for Towers and
inadvertently harm her sister. The two must trust in each
other before they can successfully work together. They are
the characters focused upon, but the other characters are
interesting and worrisome, in the case of Towers, to meet.
The plot resembles Vincent's typical fast-paced, action-
packed former plots. It is very difficult to put this book
down, particularly in the middle of the story. Kori and
Ian's relationship is volatile at times and sweet in
others, the reader will enjoy watching their relationship
develop. Overall, Rachel Vincent fans should not miss this
one!
If you live in the dark long enough, you begin to forget the light... Kori Daniels is a shadow-walker, able to travel instantly from one shadow to another. After weeks of confinement for betraying her boss, she's ready to break free of the Tower syndicate for good. But Jake Tower has one final job for Kori, one chance to secure freedom for herself and her sister, Kenley, even if it means taking it from someone else... The job? Recruit Ian Holt-or kill him. Ian can manipulate the dark, landing him on every syndicate in the world's most-wanted list. But Ian works alone, and he's also on a mission: to infiltrate the Tower syndicate and free those enslaved to Tower by killing his top Binder, Kenley Daniels-Kori's little sister. Amid the tangle of lies, an unexpected thread of truth connecting Ian and Kori comes to light. But with opposing goals, they'll have to choose between love and liberty....
