Synopsis: Keira Kelly has come into her full powers, and they are frighteningly strong, creating a distance between her and her human friends in her beloved Rio Seco. It is time to obey her great-great-grandmother Gigi's orders and rejoin her family in northwest Canada, where Keira can learn to handle her dangerous new skills. She'll have friends with her every step of the way -- her shapeshifter brother Tucker, his beloved Niko, and, to Keira's dismay, her cousin on her mother's side, Daffyd ap Geraint, the Sidhe prince who suddenly appeared in her life and now refuses to leave -- but her vampire lover Adam has insisted on staying in Texas. And while there are certainly perks to being Family, such as a private Learjet for the flight to Canada and a fabulous penthouse condo overlooking Vancouver, there are threats looming that nobody, not even Gigi, anticipated. Keira's Sidhe inheritance from her mother is far more important than anyone ever realized, and the fate of the Family may depend upon what she does next.Summary of book events: 37 year old Keira Kelly has "Changed" and become one of the so called Kelly Heirs to replace Minvera (GIGI) Kelly, the family matriach/tyrant. Her brother has since taught her how to shape shift, and they end up running on Adam Walkers Wild Moon Ranch together. Previously, we also learned that Keira is half-Seelie Sidhe, on her mother Branwen's side of the family. We learned that at age 7, Keira was sent to live with her father, and her six brothers, who we have only met Tucker, Rhys and Ianto. This was due to the fact that she showed no magic and her mothers court didn't much care for Keira.Keira and her ex-best friend Bea are still not talking, nor is she taking any of her phone calls. She needs her "space" after witnessing the true nature of the Kelly clan in the last installment.Keira and Tucker run across "cousin" and fae Daffyd ap Gerrant, who calls Keira his "leige." He also inquires about hitching a ride to Vancouver with Keira and Tucker.Keira has been "recalled" to Vancouver, and the Kelly Clan homestead where her cousin, and ex lover Gideon presumably lies dying. Kiera is also an escort for the Kelly Clan into the next realm. She was supposed to go to British Columbia to be trained with her new powers. Uhm, sure. We'll call most of this book ring around the posies, and keep Keira frustrated on edge 85 percent of the book.Adam decides to stay behind since he has the ranch to run, and obligations to maintain. Niko, Tuckers consort of sorts, goes along with Tucker, Keira, and Daffyd to Vancouver.Upon arriving in Vancounver, Daffyd disappears, and there is a all hands search to find out where he disappeared to. Later, Adam joins the group at the Kelly condo, and stuns everyone with news that he's known the Kelly Clan since before Keira was born. Furthermore, we learn that Adam is Unseelie Sidhe, and heir to the throne. It was his fathers decision to make Adam a vampire, who is now King of his own clan. Niko, doesn't much care for this information, as he was stalked and watched his roommate get taking by the Unseelie. Adams real name is Aeddan ap Tallwch.***Complaint*** Why, oh why does someone who is supposed to be so powerful, act so stupid? Really Keira, the guy flat out lied to you, and make Niko crazier than a wild banshee, and you make things like, OH well, I forgive you! Really!?!?!?! What the hell is wrong with you?OK, so, if you are Canadian, you will enjoy the references to Tim Horton's Restaurants made throughout the book. I've put that on my must try before I die list.We meet several new Kelly clan members along the way. Liz Norton Kelly, who also works as a stunt pilot for movies. She's a Onyx Shapeshifter part border collie and part golden retriever. We get a mention of older brother Ciprian as being a financial genius, but he plays no other part in the book. Next we have Gareth, who is Rhys's son and works for the RCMP. Lastly, we have cousin Raine, who is Asian and also a Lamia/Witch. When she touches Keira, she ends up as Kiera's sworn vessel. She's a pilot as well.We learn that Gideon is also Changed, and second heir to the Kelly Clan. He's Adam's brother and son to Drystan, the King of the Unseelie Fey. Gideon, being Kiara's ex, tries to use his sexual perversion against her. Gideon himself forced the change by playing with black magick.Gigi breaks down and tells Kiera the whole truth about her cross breeding between the Other races. She later agrees that Keira can go back to Texas with her consort Adam, and her two protectors, her brother Tucker, and his vampire lover Niko.Didn't really enjoy this book as much as the first two. Too mucn convoluted nonsense throughout the book, and nothing was settled. What was the point of having Keira going to BC and train, if she didn't get trained? Another stunner was that Gigi claims that Marty, who everyone thought was human, actually was just like Gideon and Keira, but for some reason, his talents never manifested.
