She's caught between caring about Alex and hating Chase, yet being unable to do anything except heed the call of his blood, his power. His blood is more powerful than that of the typical Ophi and so is Jodi's - it's his blood that sings to her like a Siren to a sailor. She knows she wants Alex, cares deeply for him, but even that is not enough to break the connection between her and Chase. Everything in her wants to consume Chase. When he holds her hand, it's even harder to put distance between them. When he locks gazes with her, it's hard to look away. Jodi can't deny that she feels something for him. He tries time and time again to convince Jodi that combining their powers could be wondrous. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it wasn't going to be your typical love triangle.Ĭhase has more power than the other Ophi. I am a firm believer that your heart, your emotions, cannot be split between two men. When Chase was brought in, I thought 'uh-oh, another love triangle' and for people that know me know that I can't bear love triangles. They train together and eat together as a group, they have a pretty normal daily routine, or what classes as normal when you're a necromancer.Įnter Chase - little does Jodi know it but Chase is about to push her to the very limits of her abilities. With Alex by her side, she thinks things are going okay and that she will be able to keep the promise she made to Hades.

Jodi is the leader of the Ophi at the school and she must train them in how to raise souls and release them. Jodi was really put through the wringer in book 1, that got even worse in book 2, so what does that say for book 3? Bearing that in mind, I'm not sure I even want to hazard a guess at what's to come in the final book of the trilogy, Face of Death. In all honesty, maybe this is the better book of the two, if only because there's more action and it's more scary. But have no fear, Kelly Hashway knows how to write a sequel. I am always wary of sequel books because I always wonder if they can live up to the expectations that the preceding book sets down.

If you haven't already read Touch of Death, I urge you to do so. But I finally got my greedy hands on a copy of Stalked By Death and was instantly sucked back into the world of Jodi and the Ophi. The only drawback with getting ARCs of these fantastic books is that I have to wait that much longer for the next book to be available. So, I've been waiting for this book since the moment I put Touch of Death down.
