Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik

4 Star

Caterina is the youngest daughter of House von Hasenberg.  She is the one left out as everyone thinks she needs to be protected.  Her older siblings love her and want to protect her but after her brother's attack she isn't willing to sit idle on the sideline.  When she plans to go to a party to spy her older sister allows it but only if she excepts two new bodyguards.  Alexander Sterling must go with her.  Cat allows it but under protest.  She plans on ignoring him but Alex proves to be more difficult to ignore.  When everything goes to hell on Earth while she's away she's determined to get back on Earth to try and protect her family's holdings and keep those she love safe.  Will she be able to let down her guard enough to allow Alex in?

Where the last book was slow and I was bored this book was the opposite.  I enjoyed this one.  This moved along nicely and I enjoyed seeing Cat and Alex figure things out.  The one big issue that I didn't like was this was the last book in the series and I felt there were too many loose threads by the end.  We find out her parents are dead due to the takeover and her brother and some of the people who take over because of the death a lot of the heads of households.  However, one of the houses who was in on the takeover had some heirs being blamed that weren't part of it and a deal was struck but nothing else came of it.  I wanted to know if Cat was able to keep the two safe.  There were a couple of other things like this that were left without conclusion and it frustrates me since no more books in the series.  It might not bother others but it did me.  Overall, those were small part of the rest of the series and I still enjoyed it.
