In this sequel to Juliet
Immortal, Romeo has lost all his power as a Mercenary of Dark, a person who
ruins people’s lives by tainting their love, because his latest act was to save
Juliet’s newest love in the modern world.
An Emissary of Light comes to Romeo and tells him that if he can
convince a girl named Ariel to love him within three days, she will give him a
body and allow him to become an Emissary, restoring him from his withered
body. Romeo finds that Ariel has
knowledge of the spirits of good and evil and is the person who can tip the
balance to good or bad. If Romeo
can’t bring Ariel over to the side of love, then the Mercenary’s will win the
battle. Romeo doesn’t expect to
really fall in love with Ariel, but he does. Romeo also realizes that there isn’t a clear line between
who is good and bad and he will sacrifice himself for Ariel’s protection.
In a story with a lot of twists and
bends in reality, this is a crazy sequel to the first book Juliet
Immortal. The ending is satisfying
and the character development is great, but sometimes the rules of the fantasy
element in the book are unclear.
