“She's ready," Ronan growled.

Then I was being tugged toward the end of the bed. Declan stood there, eyes pure silver…..

His hand skimmed down from my neck to between my breasts to my belly. "Love you, Leighton."

My eyes burned. "Love you. All of you."

Anchor of Secrets, the second installment of the trilogy, was another thoroughly entertaining book, and yet objectively there was barely any plot progression. 

The whole thing revolved, much like Legacy of Shadows, around Leighton and her seemingly missing powers, which meant she couldn't anchor the guys—and all her guilt, grief, sadness and other assorted overwhelming feelings over, and related to that—and trying to find a way so that they could all be together as mates and not go insane and die because of the anchor-less-ness. 

Because that was the whole thing about this supernatural world: in order for the powers to not lead them to madness, clusters of supers (such as the one comprised of Colt, Ronan, Declan, Trace and Dash) needed an anchor to balance them out. And because Leighton had never presented as such, she couldn't be their anchor. But because she was their mate, the boys (and Leighton) were faced with the decision to either go insane or face the immense heartache of breaking the mate bond, since the mate and anchor being two separate women was doomed to end in death for them all anyways. Fun times! 

It was considerably more intense than book 1, more bloody, traumatic and violent. Leighton and the guys' enemies are steadily getting more and more unhinged. And the teen angst ratcheted up, too! The whole thing was low key trashy, but in the best possible way. A litany of deranged fun packaged in short, wonderful chapters.
