Summary:
Tavia Michaels has discovered that she’s an Earthbound—a fallen
goddess with the power to remake the Earth—and that a rival faction of
Earthbounds, the Reduciata, has created a virus that is literally wiping swaths
of the planet out of existence.
Tavia is captured and imprisoned before she can act on this information, along with her eternal lover, Logan. Huddled in a claustrophobic cell, they lose track of the days, their attempts to escape proving as ephemeral as Tavia’s newly gestating powers. But then Tavia and Logan are mysteriously rescued.
They’re brought to the underground headquarters of the Curatoria, another group of Earthbounds that Tavia doesn’t fully trust. There, she’s told that she can save the Earth before it disappears. She agrees.
Tavia quickly realizes that she isn’t like other Earthbound, and as her abilities continue to awaken, they begin to threaten her centuries-long relationship with Logan. When Benson—Tavia’s former best friend and romantic interest—appears at Curatoria headquarters, Tavia will again have to make a choice about who to be with even as she tries to stop the virus that is destroying the world and uncover the truth about the two Earthbound organizations that have her tangled up in their webs.

Okay after reading this first book I wasn't exactly to thrilled to read the second one. I mean don't get me wrong I liked the idea of the first one but I think it should have been left as a single book not a series. And the love triangle in this book, does not work at all like the last one. I mean to even have a love triangle both characters need to have a strong foundation. With Benson we get that, but with Tavia's non-existent memories of her past lives makes it so Logan is just kinda there. They may be eternal lovers, but in this series there is just zero chemistry between them after a certain point. Logan kinda just fades into the background and Pike really makes no effort to bring him back into the forefront. So (spoiler alert!) when he disappears at the end of this book, and is supposedly dead, me as a reader felt like I had zero need to mourn his loss. Team Benson all the way!!! I echo the words of many other reviews of this book, do not read until the third one comes out. Just don't. These books are really good-ish, but it just seems like there is zero direction to them they are just kinda there and without the third book (which I'm guessing and hoping will be the last one in this series) it's missing a lot and the second book unfortunately just can not stand by itself.
Rating: 6 out of 10. Didn't like this one nearly as much as the third book, and I feel like it was missing to much.
Content Rating: 3 (16-18). This book has some teen romance, some violence, and a tiny itty bitty bit of swearing.
