Having only looked at the covers of the Doomsday novels without reading the synopses, I was disappointed to find out that this wasn’t a second Gareth/Joss centered tale. However, then I realized who it does focus on, and that Gareth and Joss are still featured players, and started to see all the surprising places where this story meshes with theirs. My initial hesitation could not have been more wrong. This is a delightful and satisfying companion to the first book, and I will definitely be reading more from KJ Charles in the future.

Favorite Quotes:

"I don't want goodbyes is the sort of thing Luke says, but it's not what he means."
This was the kind of thing that left Rufus, a straightforward man, hopelessly adrift. "Because he means instead—?"
"He means, I'm scared you don't care, so I'm not giving you a chance to prove it," Emily said. "He's that way, Luke. Aunt Sybil says he's hard to love but it's not true. What's hard is making him see it when you do, because he's already decided you don't."

"My Doomsday. The end of my world."
