Synopsis (Goodreads):

Witches are marching down the streets, shifters are prowling the night, and portals to Faerie are popping up all over downtown.

Hadley has one chance to save Atlanta, but it means trusting her dark side to get it done.

The city will survive. She'll see to that. But will her soul?

Thoughts on Moment of Truth: Ahh. I remember the days of old, back before I picked up book 1 and how I wondered if I'd ever like Hadley as a character as much as I liked Grier. I mean, Hadley/Amelie had done some pretty heinous things and her betrayal cut deep against a character I adored. So Hadley came into the ring with a few points against her.

But she did it. She found her footing and her strength. She fought even when it would have been easiest to walk away. She became the woman she wanted to be (even though she doesn't often see that about herself). She also found Midas and saw him facing some of the same struggles she faces on a daily basis. (And, BOY, do I adore those two together. My *heart eyes* are strong when I look at them.)

Speaking of throwing herself into battle (were we speaking of that? Well, consider it said. Hadley throws herself into battle even when the odds are overwhelmingly against her.), Hadley and her crew are on the offensive against a veritable horde of evil. Witches that can change their skin and fae that want retribution. Things are sticky and Hadley's right in the thick of it.

A whole lot of danger, a little walking between worlds, friends, family, and those who will stand beside Hadley no matter what. Hadley and Midas both have pasts they needed to face and seeing them come to terms with all of it was GLORIOUS. Plus, those two just can't stop accidentally taking control of packs, can they? GOOD TIMES!
