My Thoughts:
This was a fun action-packed read. I am so glad that I had the chance to read both books one and two back-to-back. This is a perfect follow-up to Between Wild and Ruin. We get more of Ruby and Ezra together as they continuing going against strange forces. I was still invested in both Ruby and Ezra both together and as individuals. The drama kept coming and the plot twists kept me intrigued.

Synopsis:
Surfaces are deceiving . . .
After falling for Ezra and discovering a gateway to the Otherworld, it’s a truism Ruby knows to take to heart. But La Luna finally feels like home, and with graduation just weeks away and a cushy internship on a nearby archeological dig in her pocket, it’s easy to downplay the strange new events taking place in the Glorieta Pass. Even when Angel’s deadbeat father reappears after twenty years, stirring up questions about Angel, the ruin, and Ruby’s mother.
Uncertainty is bad enough, but when Ruby starts having inexplicable visions, and the archeological dig unearths mysterious artifacts connected to both a fabled Aztec city and the Pecos Pueblo, Ruby faces more than an uncertain future — she’s forced to accept the role of True of Heart. Will Ezra and her friends stand by her as she confronts the Otherworld? Love is enigmatic, especially in the heart of New Mexico, but the Otherworld may be the biggest mystery of them all.

The supernatural aspects were everything together. The atmospheric writing paired with the setting gave me all the feels. I was hooked from beginning to end. There were times I did zone out which had nothing to do with the book itself but me. I do plan to re-read this book down the line.
The romance was still my favorite. I cannot wait to read the next book when it releases. I do LOVE the covers for these books though. They are stunning.
