FROM AMAZON: Supernatural warriors bound by an extraordinary code of honor face an ultimate test of loyalty in the exciting new paranormal thriller from bestselling authors Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love.

Atlanta has become the battlefield between human and demon.

An outcast among Beladors, Evalle Kincaid has walked the line between human and beast her whole life. Her origins unknown, she’s on a quest to learn more about her past—and her future. When a demon claims a young woman in a terrifying attack and there’s no one else to blame, Evalle comes under suspicion and the only person who might help her is Storm, a sexy new agent with secrets of his own.

Now she’s on a deadly quest for her own survival. Through the sordid underground of an alternate Atlanta where nothing is as it seems, to the front lines of the city where her former allies have joined forces to hunt her, Evalle must prove her innocence or pay the ultimate price.

But saving herself is the least of her problems if she doesn’t stop the coming apocalypse. The clock is ticking, and Atlanta is about to catch fire.

Evalle spent the first 18 years of her life locked in a dark basement. Today she tracks down the monsters that threaten humankind. However she herself is an Alterant, capable of turning into a monster and wreaking havoic and therefore not fully accepted by her kin, the Beladors. Mediocre. ( )

A slow start but once it picked up it was very good. ( )

Great book/story. Fantastic variety of strong characters, good plot, nice ending, defiantly leads to further development in other books. I like Storm and hope he remains in future storylines ( )

4.5-Evalle, the heroine, Alterant and not so welcome in the Belador community. It's gets worse she is accused of something that is against her strict rules with the Beladors. She did not do it and scrambles to save her life and prove her worth. Her tribe puts her on trail and gives her a dead line. She hunts the true killer and the truth behind the attack.
The side characters are so numerous, I was confused at times. She has many wonderful male characters in her story, almost too many. The first half of the story I was completely lost at who was her main "man". The second half, thinned the number somewhat.One stood out beyond the others for me I loved Storm, her forced partner and still unknown person, he's sexy and honest ! There are good spirits, evil co-woerkers, sweet friends, and helpful witches. You can't have a good book in my opinion without a good pet and she has a winner. I love Gargoyles, and she has a pet one named Phoenix, if he does not steal your heart nothing will.
It was like reading three different books, there is so much happening. It did come together at the end of the story, and left us with a light cliffhanger. I am addicted, I need to know what happens to Storm, he has unresolved issues. I will defiantly read the next book in the series. ( )
