Sandra is hurrying to get to a wedding – a wedding that almost didn’t happen. But Sandra and the rest of the Agency finally caught up with the Professor and took down at least one of his labs. Having him in custody is the best wedding present any of them could offer the new mates. Sandra is happy about the outcome but there is something about that isn’t sitting right with her – if only she could put her finger on what’s worrying her.

Davin and Darrick are sons of the Professor, but they haven’t been able to stand him or what he was doing for many years. They are also half siblings to all the other children, now adults, which the Agency has already rescued. The fact that they are very weak in psychic powers compared to their siblings put them into extreme disregard with their father and made them just useful lab rats. But they have both been doing things like covering their backs and alerting the Agency about what was going on. Now their father has been taken, but both of them are also in custody.

Sandra knows that one of the brothers was working with the Agency by passing on information on the side. Right now no one knows if Davin or Darrick are good guys or bad ones, but Sandra is assigned to stay with them in a safe house while things are worked out. All three are working together to unravel the Professor’s labs and research when suddenly Davin and Darrick are taken into custody again. Sandra has no idea what is going on, but she knows in her heart and with every instinct she has that neither of them have done anything to be arrested for. Now on the run, Sandra, Davin and Darrick know their only hope is to track down the last known lab and find evidence to clear them. The danger spikes as they get close to and arrive at the lab. Caught in the middle, the three of them will have to decide who to trust and hope they make the correct decision so that the love they have found will have a future.

Three people on the run to discover the truth learn the value of trust, betrayal and love in Traitor. Sandra, Davin and Darrick are pushed together and find a love that none of them would have expected. I was surprised to see that there were more psychic siblings and very surprised to learn that all of them were the children of the Professor. Watching as suspicions tries to tear apart the new lovers, it was pretty easy to see that something strange was going on, so I wasn’t as surprised as I could have been by the serious turn that appeared. It made me smile to see that all of the siblings and their spouses came to the rescue. At the end, I was sad to see the Agency being disbanded, but very happy that it was only because it had completed the job it was developed for. I found that all the siblings achieved the ultimate happy ending. Traitor is a mixture of suspense, betrayal, trust and most importantly love of many kinds. A fitting ending to a great series.
