Blurb:
Sixteen teenagers taken from their homes. Eleven bodies
recovered, each completely drained of blood. Some believe vampires are
responsible, but Jon Barnett knows it's something far worse. To stop the
killers in Taurin Bay, he becomes enmeshed in a web of black magic and realizes
he needs help. But fate gives him only one choice in the form of recluse
Madeline Smith.
Madeline Smith has retreated to an isolated farmhouse,
afraid of the psychic abilities she can't control-abilities that have killed.
But when "ghost" Jon Barnett brings a warning of danger and her
nephew disappears, Maddie has to leave her haven. She also has to learn to
control the abilities she fears and place her trust in Jon Barnett, a man who
is neither human nor ghost.
But as the search for the teenagers becomes a race against
time, and the noose of sorcery threatens to kill Maddie and Jon, the greatest
danger to them both could be the feelings they have for each other-feelings
that they refuse to acknowledge.
My review:
Fans of Keri Arthur’s Nikki & Michael series will love
this tale from the Damask Circle. But
don’t worry if you haven’t read the Nikki & Michael series (and you really
should) this will stand on its own.
Shapeshifter Jon Barnett is a troubleshooter for the Damask Circle. Basically he is a cop that goes after
paranormal bad guys. Because of the
nature of his job he can’t afford to get to close to anybody lest they be used
against him. Maddie needs Jon to help
find her nephew she has gifts of her own.
Together they fight the bad guys and their feelings for each other. I get such a kick out of the world and characters
created by Ms. Arthur. This is an exciting
paranormal romance that will have you staying up late to finish.
I received a copy of
this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest
review.
