Another strong female badass from Jeaniene Frost. This book has tons of action that it could be a chick action flick and not of the naughty variety. Ivy has grown since the first book where she was a girl getting thrown into having to deal with demons and archons and being the last in a mythical lineage that has a long list of enemies and a destiny for her to follow. In the second book she has been training and is still hunting for the second hollowed weapon. Time is imperative because she needs the Staff of Moses to help seal all the demon realms which are starting to crack and tear open into the human world. Throughout the whole book Ivy is being chased and hunted. Demons and minions are trying to find her to kill her to make sure that she doesn't close their access to humans.

At the start of the book you have Ivy dealing with the unresolved issues from the first book with Adrian's betrayal (which is part of his prophesized destiny) and her broken heart. She is destined to save the world and he is her opposite. Everything in the world has an equal opposite to maintain balance. It had been six months since she destroyed Adrian's realm where Demetrius was at. This whole time she hasn't seen or heard from Adrian.

All in all this book is constant action with an actual sweet romantic scene. That makes this series different and worth the read. I don't read Jeaniene Frost's books for the love, its the combo and that well written out action scenes that makes you want to take up kickboxing or something so you can be a badass chick like her heroines.

This is the second book in the Broken Destiny series which so far looks like it is only going to be a trilogy.
