| Since the death of I-Op Lance, Melanie has been fading away. Her friends and the rest of the I-Op team have been more and more concerned. Most concerned is Green, the member of the team closest to Lance. Lance asked him to take care of Melanie, but even though Green is very attracted to the gorgeous blonde, he remains faithful to the memory of the wife who died fifty years before. So much about Melanie reminds him of Elizabeth, yet she is very different in other ways. Melanie has no idea why she is so ill, a full blood Fae is rarely ill. She is tormented by nightmares, only feeling safe and happy around Green. Adding to her stress is the threat of a scientist who wants to eliminate the I-Ops and experiment on their mates, who just happen to be Mel’s best friends. Working with them is the bogey man from Mel’s childhood, evil Fae Ferdian, who just happens to be the abusive husband, Green’s late wife escaped from. Mel has always had a connection to an imaginary friend named Elizabeth, they might be even more connected that anyone thinks.
This is a fast moving and suspenseful story with so much action that it will make it hard to catch your breath. The I-Ops team is as exciting as in the previous two stories, the characters developing more and more with each one. Green and Melanie are great characters, much deeper and more complex than in the previous stories, especially Melanie, who appears to be a bit of a bimbo on the surface, but in reality is a very intelligent and caring woman with much to offer. She also has more power that anyone including her brother and father give her credit for. The plot has many twists and turns and I was beginning to doubt whether Green and Melanie would ever get together. Wilson’s character really took off in this book, and the wererat became much more likeable. The three remaining members of the team are very intriguing and I look forward to reading more about them.
