Another MUST READ novel by Siobhan Davis! Highly recommend for lovers of romance with futuristic/sci-fi plots.
This is the second novel that I have read by Siobhan Davis, and it did not disappoint! I was nervous that I loved the first book in the Saven series so much that I might have set my expectations too high for this release, but I was blown away by how much I continue to love this series!
You really got to see so much more of what was happening behind the scenes for Logan by the time this novel ended. Him and Sadie were keeping so many things from each other, and not to hurt each other, really just trying to protect the other person and ease their burdens. I was so relieved when those things came to a head and were spoken to each other. It released so much of the tension and apprehension I was feeling throughout the novel. I really love both Logan and Sadie's characters SO much. Despite each one's faults and weaknesses, they make such an amazing match and their Eterno connection makes it such a swoon worthy romance. They just can't get enough of each other, just being near each other, that it makes the romance that much better. I loved all the details in the book, but every time these two were apart, I kept having to read more and more until they were together again.
It took every ounce of my patience to deal with Haydn by the end of this book. I know he meant well and has clearly gotten enough of his conscience and been around humans long enough to realize that he's missing out on some great opportunities; HOWEVER, go mack on someone else's girl, Haydn! I know him and Sadie were spending a lot of time together, and believe me, I get how they developed a closer connection when Logan was absent (side note: extremely annoying from a girl's perspective that Logan was tied up so much), but I felt like Haydn was crossing some lines. It's neither here nor there though; I still like his character overall and feel bad for his limitations due to the royal guard.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I started to like Jarod and Vin. I was happy to NOT see so much of Dante. And I hope in the next book I perhaps get to see more of Neve (with Alex and Fern & Rylan).
Adding Dali to this novel was an exquisite addition. I like the depth and perspective Dalitza provided on the Amaretti, and I was hoping to see her appear again near the end of this book, but perhaps later again in the series? I liked the way she got to know Sadie, and while I guessed it might be her at first on Amaro, I really wasn't sure until it was confirmed.
Griselda is obviously a force to be reckoned with, and we will undoubtedly be seeing more of her and the Tor in the following book. Man was she nasty! I had always suspected something was going on and Sadie wasn't human (obviously since she seemed like such an anomaly, but mainly because of the dreams and whispers throughout the books-well done with foreshadowing, Ms. Davis), but I didn't see that ending coming! What a way to wrap things up...but yet, leave us hanging...And wanting SO. MUCH. MORE.
As I said with the first book, this one is the perfect length. I love these novels so much, and they are put together more fluidly than books I've read in awhile, that I could read on and on for days. Absolutely cannot wait to continue this Saven series with the next book, and the end of this ARC said there will be a novella released soon as well, so I'll be impatiently waiting for it.
Romance: clean for the most part; intense kissing and mentions of things starting to heat up further, but no sex. There is talk of sex in terms of how it relates to the human to alien conscience transfer and the Eterno connection.
Language: mild profanity, similar to first novel, was able to easily read through/past it

I’ve been in a reading slump. Sure, I’ve read books, but not nearly as fast as I usually do. Yes, I’ve bought new books and have written reviews, but I’ve been searching for a book I could devour—that wasn’t a contemporary romance (those are my weakness). I blame it on the end of the semester looming over my head. Saven Disclosure got my out of my reading slump. I’ve missed Logan and Sadie and their relationship and didn’t realize how much I loved their story in the first book, Saven Deception, until I got to revisit this world. If you haven’t discovered Siobhan Davis’s wonderful world-building skills, I highly suggest starting with this series. The True Calling books found their way into my heart—I’m still swooning over Cal Remus months later. Sadie and Logan, with all the quick wit and sarcasm, had my attention and didn’t let go.There were some characters that I missed in Saven Disclosure, and if you haven’t read the first book, you need to. You cannot read these books out of order, especially considering the changes that Logan and Sadie’s relationship went through from first glance to escaping to New York City. Their time in Thalassic City was a whirlwind. I missed Jenna in this book and hate Dante even more, though he didn’t have as much of a tangible presence in this book, because he was the reason she couldn’t be in this book. While I did miss Jenna and her bright personality, I got to know some of the other characters.Jarod and Sadie’s friendship made me skeptical at first, but as it progressed, I started to really like his character. The alliances in this installment will keep your mind busy, so having someone that Sadie could count on the entire way while Logan was away, definitely made him move up a few notches on my list. Then there was Haydn. I sigh just thinking about her overprotective bodyguard and can’t wait to see how his story pans out. I fell in love with him, albeit he stayed in the background. His plight and desire to have a life outside of the royal guard touched my heart. I wanted to give him a big hug! And when that boy made his presence known? Did he ever! I expect him to play an even bigger part in the next book, and that makes me happier than I can express—seriously? I love that guy.The steamy bits between Logan and Sadie were all I could ask for and more. Given that a large chunk of the first half of the novel dealt with them being apart, those kissing scenes were magnificent. I’m one of those people that consider kissing scenes integral to the book—not too much, not too little, but the perfect amount of oomph to gesticulate how the characters feel about each other. Davis does that. Logan and Sadie don’t have a strictly physical relationship, and while this is a sci-fi romance, I like their relationship for everything else that it is outside of the physical. It would be impossible to deny that Logan wanted to protect Sadie, and in his mind that equated to love. Sadie was willing to sacrifice so much for Logan, and I couldn’t help but root for them. (That doesn’t mean that I didn’t want to slap some sense into the hot alien for a few pages there, but you’ll have to read to find out why). They have the Eterno connection, and…well, I’m itching for their happy ending. Please, please, please tell me this won’t end badly?That. Ending. I freaked out. I have to know what happens next! Saven Disclosure is a wonderful mix of science fiction and romance. Prepare to fall in love with these characters, get caught up in an intergalactic war, and discover new and exciting worlds. If you’re not already a fan of Siobhan Davis’s books, brace yourself—there’s no turning back.
