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.
