MY THOUGHTS - ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT

So, yes, there are spoilers if you have read UNREMEMBERED

After traveling back to to the English countryside in the year 1609,  Sera and Zen hope to gain what they lost in their relationship.  Things don't exactly go as planned when Zen comes becomes ill.  Sera is convicted of being a witch and scheduled to burn when she and Zen are rescued by a Diotech operative named Kaelen, who is manufactured like Sera, but supposedly without the defects.  Sera learns that Zen is ill because of the time jumping and she seeks to find a cure for his defective gene.  

This leads them on a search, complete with clues, to Dr. Maxxer, who is still at odds with Alixter.  Yes, it appears that Sera is still just another pawn in their game.  The clues lead Sera to Cody (YAY), now grown, married and with a kid of his own, has discovered the cause of Zen's illness and this also leads her back to Maxxer.  Kaelen seems to be a bit defective as well when Sera is able to reason with him.  This all climaxes in a battle which comes down to good over evil, but it did leave me hanging a bit.  So I guess I will have to wait for the next one in a year.  

This installment was even better than the first.  I was glad to see Cody back and grown up and just as smart as he was in the first book.  There is a lot of action, battling and sheer wit that Sera must see herself through to save Zen.  It used to be Zen saving Sera, but that has turned a bit now.  ARGHH!  So this one did give me more information on Diotech but there are so many questions that haven't been answered yet.  Parents:  This one had a bit of graphic violence, some kissing (ok, a lot) and some language.
