Synopsis
Sometimes the road ahead twists in unexpected ways.
Adelita's new life was supposed to be easier, now that she left the village. But the normal life she craved doesn't last for long. The Kalku won't stop until they have her in their clutches, making any sort of freedom impossible.
While escape seems like the best option, Adelita knows that the time is coming for her to stand and fight for the family that found her...
...and the family she didn't know she had.

My Review
I wanted to read this title so much that I almost chained book two and three, except that I realized that it was not necessarily easy for my little French head. From now on, I will always read another book between two books of the same series.
The story start about a week after the end of the previous volume. There is always this succession of quiet moments full of hugs with more eventful scenes.
The author offers us new surprises and a scenario not very predictable except for the end which did not really surprise me.
The characters are still pleasant to follow and Cruz begins to appear more sympathetic to me (it almost pains me to admit it). The relationship between the characters evolves. Do we go to a trio or something else? No idea but for the moment I totally agree.
I continue my adventure with this series. It's rare that I'm so enthusiastic after several books.

Synopsis
Life in the village isn't as safe as Adelita thought it would be.
With a new family ready to take her in, Adelita still isn't quite sure she belongs, bringing danger ever nearer to her one safe place. Though she's beginning to fall into a rhythm with the three warriors, their protection has some serious setbacks whenever she questions the formidable Cruz.
The Kalku haven't stopped hunting her down. They are determined to steal her strength at any cost. When Adelita realizes the protection the village offers might be at risk, she knows that even though she wants to remain with them, if she wants to keep them safe, she has to leave them all...
...Even the ones who have stolen her heart.

My Review
I am delighted to find again the author's Hispanic universe. On the other hand, mythology question, I am very little served. I stay on my hunger.
We begin this second book a little after the end of the first. It's less hectic in the first part because we are in the village but in the second we go from surprises to surprises and we are again in road trip mode.
I still have the same opinion on the characters. I still cannot appreciate Cruz even if I was able to discover his past. Between Adelita and Santos, it's almost fusional. Rafi shows his vulnerable side.
I didn't expect this reaction from Adelita at the end of the story. I wish I had the next book to continue my reading.
The author's pen is still so fluid. The pages scroll without us realizing it.
I don't know if the third book will be the last in the series but I can't wait to read it.

Description
Adelita Corazón knows her secret ability can't remain hidden forever, but when a rebel faction hunts her down, everything she thought she could handle goes up in flames.
When three men from a warrior tribe collide with her attackers, it's all Adelita can do to hold on to her secret, and what's left of her heart. There are many things the warriors are known for, but kindness isn't one of them. Yet the longer they travel together, the more Adelita realizes there's more to them than muscle and magic... and more to her than her secret.
When her abilities come to light, Adelita isn't sure if the guys can offer a safe place to hide, or if the trouble they bring might be worse than a life without their protection. Though she knows she has to leave them, her heart tells her to stay...
...Even if it means certain death.

My Review
It was first the cover that attracted me to this title. The woman on it is Latin so that changes nicely. I like diversity because it is diversity that makes the world nicer. The summary convinced me to read this first book.
The universe created by the author is well constructed and coherent for what I could see. Exactly in my favorite genre with novelty on the mythological side. I am waiting to discover more to have a better view.
If the beginning seemed a bit chaotic to me, I was quickly drawn into the story which is more like a survival road trip.
The narration is being carried out by several characters, it is good that the author has thought of notifying us who it is at the beginning of each chapter. I find it helpful to have different points of view.
The characters are all very interesting even if I have a lot of trouble with Cruz. Many times he makes you want to kill him in his sleep. I much prefer to follow the evolution between Santos and Adelita.
The ending is literally grrr. You clearly want to know the rest given the way it ends. What I want and will do when it will be published.
My reading was pleasant and the author's pen fluid. I want strongly the continuation.
I didn't know Mary E. Twomey before reading this title, but being French, I discover English-writing authors almost every week.
