One chance to find the life that fits. Cassie settled down too young, marrying her first serious boyfriend. Now, ten years later, she is betrayed and broken. With her marriage in tatters and no career or home of her own, she needs to work out where she belongs in the world and who she really is. So begins a year-long trial as Cassie leaves her sheltered life in rural Scotland to stay with each of her best friends in the most glamorous cities in the world: New York, Paris and London.

Cassia is assigned undercover in Central city, Ky outside the borders, an airship pilot with Indie. Xander is a medic, with a secret. All too soon, everything shifts again. *** And I am finally done with the series! Honestly, this book was really intriguing and so many parts of it was just great! Xander was a lot more involved in this novel and again the book was divided into 3 perspectives (Cassia, Ky, and Xander). The secret of Xander was a shock to me as well as when one of the character’s real identity was revealed I was pretty shocked because I did not see that coming. It was an emotional roller coaster in terms of what happened to Xander, will he get love in

But on the edge of society nothing is as it seems... A rebellion is rising. And a tangled web of lies and double-crosses could destroy everything. *** The second book of the trilogy goes in depth of the fact that Cassia has gone in search of Ky. It shows all the trouble the both of them get into. The adventures that they had to go through were very enthralling. But to be honest, there were certain parts in the book which felt like a snooze fest and there were also others that made me stay up till 1 a.m. The book is definitely a great

Even if this does hold true, both
