In the follow up novel to City of Secrets, Evan Barnes and Hannah Morgan have enjoyed three peaceful months after saving their beloved Oskars and activating the powers of their city’s Megantic. Peace ends quickly when Hannah’s father is kidnapped while they are visiting nearby Alexios, and the two companions have to fight a street gang and an evil villain to protect the city and those they love.
Interesting premise of mysterious other-world protection. This is a unique steampunk setting mixed with themes of unity and friendship. The action should keep readers engaged and the story wraps up nicely.
