Moirai is the second book in the Aberrant trilogy. It opens a couple months after the end of the previous book. After the destruction of Haven, Olivia and Joshua have arrived at the city of Shadow. This is a "secret" city which is not present on most maps. In order to be allowed to stay, Olivia and Joshua agree to undergo intensive training in order to join the army in the war against the Cabal government. The planned uprising will bring Olivia and Joshua to the towns of Torv and later Genesis, which used to be their home.

I liked Moirai better than the previous book. It seemed to me that Aberrant was more focused on the world building, while Moirai has more substance, more action. As a result of their training, Olivia and Joshua learn that their natural abilities have been enhanced and they can do stuff that normal eighteen-year-olds wouldn't be able to - most notably, they can communicate telepatically. They also start living together. They coudl be happy, if it weren't for the necessity to start the uprising.

The book ends in a seriously evil cliffhanger that had me biting my nails and looking forward to the final book in the series, Isaura. It appears this is the name of a new character which is introduced at the end of Moirai. I'm very curious about how the series is going to end.

This series has two sets of covers, one for the paperbacks, one for the ebooks. The paperbacks have a girl in a blue dress; the ebooks feature city views. I prefer the ebook covers, because they look more original to me. A girl in a pretty dress on the cover is the standard for most paranormal romances, after all. Moreover, the covers for the paperbacks in this series all look so much alike that it would be difficult for me to tell them apart, if it were not for the title.
