Canyon Metcalfe has been trying to turn things around. Contrary to his called sign, Midas, it seems like everything he touches falls apart. He's taking the rap for a failed mission and is doing his best to keep his mouth shut. When a senator's daughter is saved by Canyon's brother, he meets a woman that catches his interest with her strength, but his brother has called dibs on her and uses Canyon's past to make him back off.
Dani has escaped from a man who raped her for months. She's brought back evidence that the government should be able to use against him. Instead, her loyalties are questioned and she might even be tried for treason! She sees a kindred spirit in Canyon, and when he finds her trying to harm herself, they share a secret that draws them closer together.
The only way to clear Dani's name is to take her back to Venezuela, where the monster lies in wait for her. Canyon is part of the team that vows to keep her safe, and he promises not to leave without her. Dani is drawn to Canyon, but he pulls back numerous times, and she's doesn't know why he doesn't pursue the electricity between them. She doesn't understand his past and how he's trying to make things up to his brother.
This was a pretty decent book, but it wasn't my favorite of the series. It might have been the rape aspect or maybe how far things go between Canyon and Dani. There was one time where I thought the scene was overly descriptive, but overall, Kendig does a great job telling a wonderful story. I'd give this book 3.5 stars. Still looking forward to reading Firethorn, the story of Legend. I still recommend reading these in order, but you could read this one alone. Good Book!
