I really truly enjoyed this book and this series! This got five stars from me because of these characters and how well wrapped up everything was. I LOVED Clara and Henry. I knew they had chemistry from afar but seeing it up close was HOT. Seeing how shy Henry was but then how not shy he was in the bedroom was eye opening in the best way. I loved how Clara brought him out of his shell and helped him face some of his figurative and literal demons. She could not be deterred to be there for him and help him see how good they could be together. I loved how caught off guard he was be her assertiveness but also how much he needed it to help guide him.
Clara is frustrated! She knows Henry likes her...or at least she thinks she knows. But he hasn't made a move even though she has given him space. So she decides to take matters into her own hands. She is going to show him what they could be and is not going to take no for an answer. They are having fun exploring each other and their relationship while Henry slowly opens up to her when his dad gets arrested for murder. Not only murder but murdering his fiance who Henry didn't know anything about. With Clara's help, Henry decides to go back to his old world and truly test his powers to help figure out what happened so that he can help his dad be free. Even though Clara can see where things are headed she is not afraid to make the literal leap of faith because she knows that Heny will save her no matter what.
Henry is terrified. He likes Clara and he thinks she likes him too but he is scared to put himself out there. So he hides. He interacts but from a safe distance. Until she makes it where he can't avoid her anymore or his feelings for her. He is caught off guard by how much she pushes him but in the absolute best way. He hasn't been able to experience a lot with women because of his powers. He is scared about how they could affect people but now that he is with Clara he isn't scared. And MAN is he hot in the bedroom. Let's just say he is a fast learner. He feels comfortable with where things are and excited about the future when he finds out his brother wants to get to know their dad more. And now their dad has been arrested for murder of his fiance who he didn't even know about. Through the course of the investigation and with Clara's help, he realizes he has been holding on to all of this hate for his father when he has changed so much. He decides to bring his powers fully out to figure out what happened. What he doesn't realize is whose attention he will catch and what will happen to Clara. But he does know one thing, he would burn the world for her!
I can't recommend this series enough! The characters. Their powers. The relationships. The history and world were just so fun and cool. I would LOVE LOVE to see more of Henry's little brother. It seemed like there was potential for a story am I wrong?? I am looking forward to reading more by Juliette.
