I was blown away … out of the water … you get the point. Melissa Lummis better hurry up and write the next one. The pain … and the love, you feel it as this bonded couple struggles. It’s practically killing me to know what happens, but I really want each reader to experience this relationship for themselves. This story is powerful, and I can’t wait to read what happens next. I felt for her, and even though he could be a selfish prat, I understood his struggles between doing what he was commanded and his love. With the investigation closed, they try to rebuild, and seek out a new member. They understand his betrayal, but they keep wondering if they could have stopped him, saved him, or even helped him to break the bond with Modore. Katie and Rachel are trying to heal after losing Patrick. Through her self-discovery, both she and Wolf are trying to track down and stop Modore. Sometimes it’s a physical manifestation within Wolf, most times it’s a new power for Loti to contend with. Her and Wolf grow closer everyday and their union keeps changing them. Loti’s a Light Walker, and as the story progresses, so do her powers. Samskaras truly is the perfect title even though i had no idea what it meant until the end. It was mind boggling and blowing, but executed well enough to follow. All three are tied together, but each story ran separate until the end. In this second installment, we continue with Loti and Wolf, Katie and Rachel, but in addition, there was Heather and Christian. Her character’s are loveable and relatable even the not so nice ones.

Wrapping myself into Melissa Lummis’ world came rather easy. This is perhaps one of the most unique worlds I’ve had the pleasure to visit (in my head, of course), but the foundation for both this reality and the characters begins in the first book. For one, you’ll miss one heck of a story and two, you might find yourself doing a lot of head scratching. Many times, I read out of order but I highly suggest you don’t. Eek! If you haven’t read the first book in the series, avert your eyes, and read it.
