Synopsis

Usually when your ex-husband dies, that’s the end of the story.

Unfortunately for Secret McQueen — FBI agent and werewolf queen — nothing could ever be that simple. Her ex Lucas Rain came back from the dead thanks to a spell gone wrong, and now he’s in trouble. Of course.

Secret is going to need to figure out her priorities and finally decide where she belongs in the East Coast werewolf pack. And she’s going to need to do it in the middle of the jungle, because Lucas has gotten himself entangled with a South American werewolf pack, and his life is on the line.

Now Secret, her new demon partner Harry, and her ever-patient husband Desmond, must work together to get Lucas back in one piece.

Because nothing saves a strained marriage quite like an unplanned vacation with a body-snatching demon, and your once-dead ex in the mix, right?

Review

It’s always a pleasure to see Secret McQueen with her bad character, average humour and scathing repartee.

In this tome she will go to save Lucas, of course she will be accompanied by Desmond, her husband and Harry her evil partner.

I’m not going to go into the details of the story but I liked walking in the Peruvian jungle, well ok we don’t walk around it’s Secret who does it but I liked this change of scenery.

I also liked the plot, the demonic side of Harry who appears to save everyone, the fact that Lucas comes back (yes he’s always been my little darling even if his relationship with Secret was doomed from the beginning), the fact that Lucas and Desmond are protective of Secret since she became human again.

And then there’s Camilla, the FBI agent living in Peru, who’s going to accompany them and prove to be a great help.

Desmond and Secret’s marital problems will be solved and Secret will finally understand that she can’t live away from her beautiful Appolo. Secret will also discover Harry’s true nature, she already knew he was a demon but she had never seen him in action. Now it’s done and let me tell you, he’s tearing it up…

This tome reads very fast, there’s action, it’s a McQueen Secret as I like them, even if this ending lets me predict the worst. I can’t wait to read the next book and see what Secret learns.

Sierra Dean to create an absolutely brilliant heroine, I always loved this series and the fact that she continues to write books I like very much.

Quick word: Secret McQueen is back in an adventure full of action and humor.

Chronique

C’est toujours un plaisir de retrouver Secret McQueen avec son caractère de cochon, son humour moyen et ses réparties cinglantes.

Dans ce tome elle va aller sauver Lucas, bien sûr elle sera accompagnée par Desmond, son mari et Harry son partenaire démoniaque.

Je ne vais pas entrer dans les détails de l’histoire mais j’ai aimé me balader dans la jungle péruvienne, bon ok on ne se ballade c’est Secret qui le fait mais j’ai aimé ce changement de décor.

J’ai aussi aimé l’intrigue, le côté démoniaque d’Harry qui apparait pour sauver tout le monde, le fait que Lucas revienne (oui il a toujours été mon petit chouchou même si sa relation avec Secret était vouée à l’échec depuis le début), le fait que Lucas et Desmond soient protecteurs envers Secret depuis qu’elle est redevenue humaine.

Et puis il y a Camilla, l’agent du FBI vivant au Pérou qui va les accompagner et se révéler d’une grande aide.

Les problèmes de couple de Desmond et Secret vont se résoudre, finalement Secret va enfin comprendre qu’elle ne peut pas vivre éloignée de son bel Appolon. Secret va aussi découvrir la vrai nature d’Harry, elle était déjà au courant qu’il était un démon mais elle ne l’avait jamais vu en action. Maintenant c’est fait et permettez moi de vous dire qu’il déchire tout…

Ce tome se lit très vite, il y a de l’action, c’est un Secret McQueen comme je les aime, même si cette fin me laisse présager le pire. J’ai vraiment hâte de lire le prochain tome et de découvrir ce que Secret apprend.

Sierra Dean à créer une héroïne absolument géniale, j’ai toujours adoré cette série et le fait qu’elle continue d’écrire des tomes me plait énormément.

En bref : Secret McQueen est de retour dans une aventure rempli d’action et d’humour.

About the author

Sierra Dean is a reformed historian. She was born and raised in the Canadian prairies and is allowed annual exit visas in order to continue her quest of steadily conquering the world one city at a time. Making the best of the cold Canadian winters, Sierra indulges in her less global interests: drinking too much tea and writing urban fantasy.

Ever since she was a young girl she has loved the idea of the supernatural coexisting with the mundane. As an adult, however, the idea evolved from the notion of fairies in flower beds, to imagining that the rugged-looking guy at the garage might secretly be a werewolf. She has used her overactive imagination to create her own version of the world, where vampire, werewolves, fairies, gods and monsters all walk among us, and she’ll continue to travel as much as possible until she finds it for real.

She’s also a book lover (of course!), obsessive collector of OPI nailpolish and the owner of way too many pairs of shoes.
