Russ Devereaux used to have it all—loving father, beautiful best friend, a carefree life in a town he loved, and strong magic. He was the king of his happy universe. Five months ago, that life was taken from him. Do not pass Go. Do not collect two hundred dollars.
He’s spent months fighting back and building himself a new life, in a new city, with new friends he now considers family. But suddenly, his new life might be in jeopardy of getting shot straight to hell just like the last one. Literally, this time.
He’s discovered power inside of him—an ancient, dark power that he shouldn’t have, can’t explain, can’t control, and definitely needs to keep secret. He needs answers, but before he can get them, he finds himself arrested and on his way to face the supernatural council. The same council that stole everything from him the first time.
As Russ struggles to keep his new power under wraps, his old life and he new one are about to collide and it’s bound to be explosive. He may not have all the answers he needs, but one thing is certain: he’ll be damned if anyone is taking his new life from him. That is, if he’s not just plain damned.

Review

At last! My raging 5 stars are reborn! I’ve loved the first book from the supernatural series, Chameleon, but this one is soooo great that I can’t help but lit all the stars above.

Honestly, when I started reading this story, I was confused. It was because I thought it’s going to continue what the second book left off. But then, as I proceeded, I found out that it was really a continuation of the second and the first book, for obviously, it’s a series eh? How dumb could I get?! Haha

It’s just been a week since I’ve read the second book, and I just realized how I missed Russ. Haha, the bad boy and badass warlock. I missed his retorts and him being an ass. A handsome ass, haha.

And dang! These boys also know how to gossip lol. Unlike the second book, Dani and Gabe are present in this story. But it was all centered on Russ’s point of view, for obviously, it’s his story lol. And also, Gabe has unusually small lines in here. And I think I am starting to like Russ more than Gabe haha.

At first, Russ hated Dani for choosing Gabe over him. And that was really irritating. I want Dani and Russ to be bff again. And luckily, they’re friends again! (Wohoooo) There’s no denying my adoration to Russ, but after reading this story, it doubled or even tripled? Well, I’m not really sure. All I’m sure about is that Russ was really amazing in this book. I thought the greatest sacrifice he could ever do is to let go of Dani but I was wrong. It’s more than that! I know you’re eager to know, but I don’t want to spoil the thrill, haha. But I can’t help not to talk about this next revelation that I’m going to share. It’s just so f*cking no way I’ll be able to recover from that. Curious? Well, can you picture out Clara (yeah, the daughter of the witch Simone) and Russ making out together? I mean, no freaking way right?! Haha, I’m not a hater, but I just think Russ is better off with someone who’s like Dani. Badass and have some balls. Haha. I know I’m being biased, for Dani is my favorite character, but can you blame me? They’re just so good for each other. Or maybe I can volunteer myself to be his soulmate instead? Haha lol

This book is undeniably as intense as the two previous books in this series. It was so fast paced that I didn’t even notice that I’m already in its ending. And speaking of ending, I hope Russ would be OK. Huhu, he sacrificed a lot. I hope in the fourth book, he’ll finally be able to have his own happy ending.

So that’s it. If you have read this book, please let me know how you liked it eh?, *wink.
