Keegan and his three half-brothers are half-demon and half something else. All work for an inter-dimensional council as bounty hunters. They are tasked with killing a woman who could bring about the end of the world for not just Earth but for other dimensions as well. The problem is that when Keegan meets her, he just sees an innocent.

Brynn has a couple of abilities she’s needed to keep quiet about all her life. She can protect herself by draining another’s energy just by touching them. And if she concentrates on something she touches, she can see images from the item’s history. She’s not aware of her ancestry and that a long-dead ancestor was a high priest and before his death hid a spell in a book that only an heir can activate—to raise an army of undead—and the brother’s demon father wants to get a hold of both and rule the world.

The premise and threat are good, as are the action and sexual tension. But the best part of the book doesn’t start until near the end when we physically meet the brother’s father and everything that takes place once the first confrontation begins.

The romance left me a little flat; I never felt anything but their desperation to save the other.

Overall a decent story with sexy guys who will each have their own issues, apparently with a continuing back-story; at least into the second book.… (meer)
