In the previous book, Alex was in fear for his life as well as the lives of his friends, and was pushed into a ‘kill or be killed’ situation. He did what he had to do to survive, but his ‘friends’ judged him harshly and have somewhat turned against him. When one of his estranged friends (Anna) goes missing, he goes all out to try and find her and rescue her and also to try to heal the rift forming between them.
I am still enjoying this series and I like that it delves into difficult and thought provoking issues.
