Synopsis:

Meda is no one’s pet, and no one’s prisoner. She’s Meda f**king Melange, Crusader-Demon-Beacon. Hopefully she can pull off the Crusader part, because right now she is a Crusader in-training. One of the good guys, or at least she’s trying to be.  Being bad is fun, but being dead is worse. Which is exactly what will happen if the Crusaders don’t want her anymore, and throw her to the demons who so badly want her dead.

The only problem is, it’s just as difficult for Meda to convince herself that she is a ‘good guy’ as it is to convince the Crusaders. They don’t trust her, which is totally unfair since she hasn’t killed any of her annoying classmates that are dumb enough to think they can bully her and Jo.

When the devilishly hansom Frenchie Armand surfaces and offers her an escape (at least one for a little while), she can’t resist. He gets her in ways the Crusaders could never understand. Armand relishes in her dark desires, and doesn’t want pieces of her, but all of her.

But how long can she sneak in secret with Armand, while the Crusaders push her to the brink of her loyalty? Unfortunately nothing ever seems as black and white, and as good and evil as it ought to be.

What I thought:

 Wow, I am really liking this series, I’m almost sad that it’s a trilogy and it’s almost over L. This book was so good, I love the characters in these books, and it took a lot of unexpected turns. You aren’t sure who to trust, just as Meda is. It’s funny when you look back because the pieces are all there, it’s practically foreshadowed for you, but like Meda you chose to overlook the clues because you think it will play out differently. She can’t have it all, and neither can we.

You really get to see Meda develop in this book, but her sarcastic commentary never stops which makes me soo happy. You also see another side to Jo, and how dedicated she is to Meda. I’m really looking forward to the final book!
