We learn more about Grady’s brother, Knox, in this book and there were also a couple of new characters introduced in this story, Federal Agents Gibson and Tucker. Their introduction gives me hope that there is going to be a book 3 and maybe even a book 4 with the return of Grady's brother and his partner from book 1. Morgan Brice's books have been a favorite of mine for many years now. I've read and recommended many, many times her Witchbane, Badlands and Treasure Trail series...this series will join those others in rereads and recommendations. This author just CAN NOT WRITE A BAD BOOK. She knows how to tell a suspenseful story that keeps her characters on their toes while allowing them to have some very nice romantic moments. Does anyone get the idea that I love her writing? The reader also gets a great sense of place and lore which only adds dimension to the stories. We learned something about some of the characters that we never actually got to meet but were such a big part of the story in book 1, mainly Dawson and Grady's parents. They, and several other family members, had met their deaths on hunts gone bad before the first book had started...so it was good to know how that hunt and their deaths tied into everything that was taking place in this book. We also learned that Uncle Denny was much more than just a family historian and caretaker. We always get to revisit with not only characters from the first book in this series, but in all Morgan Brice's books we get to revisit with favorite characters from her other series. Write faster Ms. Brice. I want more from the Kings in this series as well as more from "Witchbane", "Badlands", and "Treasure Trail". ( )
