Altfel de Ingeri 02 - Tradari in curand la LEDA

RECENZIA MEA AICI.

DRU ANDERSON
Departe de a fi vreun înger
Gata! Până aici cu fetiţa drăguţă!
Lumea Reală e un loc înspăimântător. Întrebaţi-o despre asta pe Dru Anderson, o fată dură care a pus la pământ un număr destul de mare de tipi răi. E înarmată, periculoasă, şi gata să lupte mai întâi şi abia pe urmă să stea la discuţii. Aşa că o să dureze ceva timp până să-şi dea seama în cine se poate încrede.
Sărmana Dru... Părinţii ei au dispărut cu multă vreme în urmă. Graves, prietenul ei cel mai bun (şi singurul!), a fost muşcat de un vârcolac. Şi tocmai a aflat că sângele care îi circulă şi ei prin vene nu este în totalitate uman. Christophe, misteriosul şi chipeşul ei salvator, o ţine ascunsă la o şcoală secretă pentru djamphiri şi vârcolaci adolescenţi. O problemă ar fi că Dru este singura fată de acolo. Vestea proastă: instinctul ucigaş îi spune că unul dintre colegi vrea să o vadă moartă.
Cu toţi ochii aţintiţi asupra ta, să descoperi un trădător în Ordin nu e tocmai un lucru care poate rămâne fără urmări…

Concurs VS 11 - Capcana Mortala

CAPCANĂ MORTALĂ, Volumul 11 din seria VAMPIRII SUDULUI de Charlaine Harris
serie care stă la baza serialului TRUEBLOOD, o producţie originală HBO!

În Bon Temps e primăvară, iar pentru Sookie Stackhouse, o chelneriţă telepată, se va dovedi un anotimp în care i se vor dezvălui numeroase secrete… fapt care-i va schimba fundamental viaţa…

Cu talentul ei special de a da mereu de necazuri, Sookie este martoră la un atentat comis cu o sticlă incendiară asupra barului în care lucrează, Merlotte’s. Bănuielile se îndreaptă imediat spre anti-teriantropii din zonă, însă Sookie suspectează altceva şi, împreună cu Sam, încearcă să descopere vinovatul… precum şi mobilul atacului.

Dar lucrurile se complică. Cu toate că nu este capabilă să „citească” în mintea vampirilor, Sookie îi cunoaşte bine pe iubitul său, Eric Northman, şi pe „fiica” lui, Pam, şi îşi dă seama că aceştia complotează împotriva actualului lor stăpân. Treptat, şi Sookie este atrasă în această luptă… care se dovedeşte a fi mult mai grea decât ar fi crezut la început.

Prinsă încă o dată în vârtejul intrigilor din lumea vampirilor, Sookie află că este doar un pion, la fel ca oricare alt om obişnuit… şi că pe tabla de joc a apărut o nouă regină…

SKINNERS series by Marcus Pelegrimas

Our world is inhabited by beasts that thrive on terror and feed on blood. Knowledge of their presence--so close and so hungry--would drive any ordinary human insane. Cole Warnecki gets a hard lesson in the truth when he is nearly torn apart by a werewolf and pursued by a power-hungry vampire. Luckily, he is also introduced to the ones who stand against the darkness.

For centuries these hunters have kept the monsters at bay, preventing them from breaking through the fragile barriers protecting our mortal realm.

They are called SKINNERS.

But beware. . .for there are very few of them left.

 

 

 Lumea noastră este locuită de bestii care prosperă prin teroare şi se hrănesc cu sânge. Cunoaşterea prezentei lor – atât de aproape şi atât de flămânzi – ar înnebuni un om obişnuit. Cole Warnecki află adevărul pe calea cea grea când este aproape sfâşiat de un vârcolac şi urmărit de un puternic vampir flămând. Din fericire, el este de asemenea prezentat acelora ce se împotrivesc întunericului. De secole aceşti vânători au ţinut monştrii în şah, oprindu-i să treacă de fragilele bariere care protejează lumea noastră a muritorilor.

Ei se numesc SKINNERS.

Dar aveţi grijă... au rămas doar câţiva

Changeling Series by Dani Harper

Fateful by Claudia Gray

It's about a servant girl named Tess in 1912, who wants to escape from the house where she works, and most particularly the lecherous young lord of the manor. But that's not her biggest problem. While on a voyage to America, where she plans to escape and start a new life, she meets Alec, who's ruggedly handsome, fabulously wealthy, intelligent and yet so clearly troubled that she'd rather not fall for him, but she does. That also is not her biggest problem. Alec, it turns out, is a werewolf ... one cursed to change every night, unless and until he surrenders his independence and joins the Brotherhood, a pack of violently misogynistic werewolves who have been tracking him for months. You'd think that would be their biggest problem, wouldn't you?

But no. Their biggest problem -- though they don't know it yet -- is that they're aboard the RMS Titanic.

Interview and Giveaway with Author Rachel Vincent

Could you tell potential readers about your Shifter series?

The Shifters series is an urban fantasy series about a werecat named Faythe Sanders who's trying to find her place (and maybe start a revolution) in the secret world of Shifters. It's a gritty, violent series, with some romance and humor to balance out the darkness.

Could you share a little about your main characters?

Faythe is a 23 year old feminist in a patriarchal world. She starts out kind of spoiled and stubborn, and grows into her role as role model, fighter, and future Alpha.

Marc is the enforcer who's loved her since the moment he first saw her. He's protective, sometimes possessive, and faultlessly supportive. But theirs is a volatile, passionate relationship, in ever sense.

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

No one source. Mostly a lot of brainstorming. Sometimes a song will strike a mood I'd really like to capture. But most of it is plotting.

Who would enjoy this series?

Urban fantasy/action fans? Readers who like flawed, passionate characters--people who make realistic decisions and human mistakes?

What are your thoughts about your beloved Shifter series coming to an end? Any secret spin off's in the works *sneaky grin*?

Well, it was my decision, and I'm at peace with it. I'd rather the series go out on a high then decline in quality. I'm not currently working on any spinoffs. ;)

Let's talk about Blood Bound! *Sorry I'm so excited for this release!* How does this book differ from your Shifters series? Will Blood Bound be part of a series?

Really, the only thing the Unbound books have in common with Shifters is a few similar themes. Friendships and complicated connections. Sacrifice. Loyalty. Fighting for those who can fight for themselves. But Blood Bound has no shifters, vamps, witches or any other typical urban fantasy creatures. It's a world in which some people have Skills (think super powers, but not of the super-strength, mind-reading variety), and organized crime has moved in to control what the government refuses to recognize. I pitched Blood Bound as "Romeo & Juliet meets The Godfather." With powers.

Are you having any book signings for Blood Bound?

I'll be signing both Blood Bound and If I Die at Murder By The Book in Houston, on October 1.

What has your journey been like to become published? What advice would you give to an aspiring writer?

Well, I've been published since 2007, and it feels like publishing has been changing ever since, so I'm not sure that my experience searching for an agent would be helpful anymore. The only thing that hasn't changed is writing itself. You still need strong grammar and plotting skills, and you need to be able to assemble sentences so that they express more than the sum of the individual words. Writing is an art. Art is work. Work takes practice. Non-stop practice.

Also, a thick skin helps. Every single day, someone online (often more than one someone) tells me how much they think I suck. That's just part of the business. ;)

Is there anything you are currently working on that you would like to share with us?

Um...I'm doing revisions on Shadow Bound, the second Unbound book.

You also write a YA series called the Soul Screamers. Why do you think the YA genre is so popular among adults of varying ages?

I can't speak for every adult, but I love reading YA because it takes me back to my own youth, even if only in contrast. I remember (fondly) a time when my whole future was ahead of me and anything was possible. I also remember that it wasn't all roses and honey. Either way, I like recapturing that feeling. And I like the chance to write for that audience (teens).

How is it different writing an adult series opposed to writing a young adult series?

It's not that different. Just a different perspective.

Have you read anything lately you can recommend to us?

My favorite book so far this year is Red Glove (sequel to White Cat) by Holly Black.

High heels or flats?

Depends on the occasion. I'm not very girly, but I do like my heels.

Paper book or ebook?

Paper, all the way.

Make it or buy it?

Depends. Cakes, cookies, pies? Make it. Clothes? Buy it.

Guilty indulgence?

Too much coffee.

I would like to say Congrats on your new book releases for August 23rd (Blood Bound) and September 27th (If I die). What is your favorite part about having a book just released? Not so favorite part?

Thank you! My favorite part is hearing from readers who are excited for/loved reading the new book! My least part is the inevitable negative reviews.

13 to Life Series by Shannon Delany

A Bonus 13 to Life Prequel Story.

Meet Jessie Gillmansen as she realizes that things might not be what they seem in the town of Junction.

 

Everything about Jessie Gillmansen’s life changed when her mother died.

Now even her hometown of Junction is changing, and mysterious, dark things are happening. All Jessie wants is to be normal. But showing a hot new guy around Junction High, she’s about to discover a whole new type of change. Pietr Rusakova is more than good looks and a fascinating accent - he’s a guy with a dangerous secret. And his very existence is sure to bring big trouble to Jessie’s small town. 

It seems change is the one thing Jessie can’t avoid…

Nothing's simple when you run with werewolves. Jess Gillmansen thinks she's seen it all but her eyes are about to be opened to even more danger and a reality far more paranormal than she's suspected. With Jess' realization that the Rusakovas' mother is still alive and imprisoned, the group's choices become harder and trust more important. Lines are drawn and relationships change as the broken Rusakova family struggles to reunite to free their mother - and those who Jess thought to be normal people show themselves to be much, much more...

Locked away at Pecan Place, Jessie finds her situation to be even more dangerous than she feared. While she struggles to maintain her sanity and discover answers about the group that seems less and less like any legitimate government agency, Pietr fights to keep their relationship alive. But very aware that his mother’s time is running out, Pietr makes a deal he doesn’t dare tell Jessie about. Because the deal Pietr’s made could mean the death of far more than his tenuous relationship with the girl he loves.

Expected publication: January 31st 2012


Translation for my romanian readers:

Totul s-a schimbat in viata lui Jessie Gillmansen cand mama ei a murit.
Acum pana si orasul ei natal, Junction, se schimba si lucruri misterioase si intunecate se intampla. Jessie nu vrea decat sa fie normala. Dar aratandu-i unui atragator nou venit imprejurimile Liceului Junction, ea este pe cale sa descopere nu nou tip de schimbare. In Pietr Rusakova exista ceva mai mult decat frumusete si un accent fascinant - el este un baiat cu un secret periculos si poate aduce schimbare in micutul oras al lui Jessie numai prin simpla lui prezenta.
Se pare ca schimbarea este singurul lucru pe care ea nu are cum sa il evite...

HEX HALL 03 - SPELL BOUND COVER REVEALED

Hailed as “impossible to put down,” the Hex Hall series has both critics and teens cheering. With a winning combination of romance, action, magic and humor, this third volume will leave readers enchanted.
Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.
Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?

Aniversare 100 followers - Fior de Maggie Stiefvater - Recenzie si Concurs

Am citit Fior acum doi ani, in engleza si m-a impresionat nespus, desi eram in perioada de dupa Amurg, cand nimic nu ma multumea, cum probabil au patit si multi dintre voi. De curand a aparut si la noi, asa ca am gasit  ocazia perfecta sa o recitesc.

Grace avea unsprezece ani in acea iarna, cand a fost smulsa din curtea casei ei – ce se uneste cu padurea – de catre lupi. Aproape a murit atunci… Tot ce isi aminteste in afara de frigul cumplit, sunt ochii de un galben uimitor ai unuia dintre ei: lupul ei.  L-a mai vazut de atunci, in fiecare iarna, mereu acolo, la marginea padurii. A incercat timp de sase ani sa infranga distanta dintre ei, dar fara succes.

Sam isi aminteste in detaliu acea zi, ziua in care a salvat din ghearele haitei cea mai frumoasa fata. Nici el nu stie ce l-a determinat sa aleaga viata ei in locul vietii lui si a haitei din care face parte. De atunci a urmarit-o mereu,pe timpul iernii, in forma lui de lup, de la marginea padurii. Parfumul mainii ei, de zahar, unt si sare, nu l-a parasit niciun moment, astfel incat, a recunoscut-o imediat, cand a pasit in librarie. Acolo el lucra pe timpul verii, cat vremea era suficient de calda ca el sa-si pastreze forma umana. Nu a indraznit sa o priveasca direct, stiind ca daca ea l-ar fi zarit, i-ar fi recunoscut ochii de culoare galbena, inconfundabili.

Varcolacii lui Maggie Stiefvater sunt deosebiti. Ei se transforma sezonier, iarna devin lupi iar vara oaneni, pana cand ajung la maturitate si raman lupi definitiv. Pentru Sam, acesta este ultimul an.

Desi nu credeau sa se mai intalneasca vreodata, destinul le rezerva alte planuri cand Sam este ranit. Instinctul il impinge sa-si reia forma umana in ciuda temperaturii scazute si se refugiaza in curtea din spatele casei lui Grace.

De aici porneste o batalie impresionanta contra naturii, in care el trebuie sa lupte pentru a ramane om, iar ea lupta pentru a-l ajuta.

Sam este baiatul pe care si-l doreste orice fata: romantic, sensibil, cu o fire de artist si cu un respect deosebit fata de Grace. Nu poti sa nu-l indragesti.

Fior este o poveste de dragoste, narata alternativ din punctul de vedere al celor doi, ceea ce ii confera un plus de naturalete si romantism. 

Citat preferat:

"in aer plutea un miros de cuvinte necitite"

Translation for my romanian readers:

Sophia Pierce a suferit de cand a plecat fratele ei, si nu este sigura daca va reusi sa depaseasca vreodata aceasta durere. Dar asta s-a intamplat inainte ca familia ei sa decida sa se mute la Wenham, Massachusetts. Ei si fratilor ei li s-a ordonat sa aiba grija de sora lor mai mica si trebuie sa se intoarca si la liceu. Aici Sophia il intalneste pe  Nathanial, sufletul ei pereche si lumea asa cum o stie ea e pe cale sa se schimbe.
Fiind vampir, Sophia a fost mereu retinuta, dar ca eleva la liceu va putea ea sa iasa din sfera ei? Sophia a gasit un prieten foarte bun intr-o puternica vrajitoare si o iubire pe care o poate numi a ei. Asta pana in momentul in care se intampla ceva tragic. Va putea ea sa reziste miresmei dulci a sangelui iubitului ei?
Aceasta e povestea Sophiei, o poveste a unei fete care gaseste iubirea, prietenia eterna si pe ea insasi. Entuziasmul acestui roman include muritori, vampiri, vrajitoare, si metamorfi, toate intr-o poveste despre dragoste, prietenie si importanta familiei. Povestea unei fete care incearca sa se regaseasca, atunci cand credea ca totul e pierdut.

ALTFEL DE ÎNGERI, o serie de Lili St. Crow in curand la LEDA

Volumul 1: ALTFEL DE ÎNGERI

Traducere de Alexandra Muşat

DRU ANDERSON NU SE TEME DE ÎNTUNERIC, DEŞI AR TREBUI.

Dru Anderson călătoreşte prin toată America alături de tatăl ei, vânător de creaturi supranaturale: zombi, vampiri, vârcolaci, poltergeisti… Iar  Dru îl ajută câteodată, dar mult mai puţin decât ar vrea ea. În definitiv, e doar o adolescentă obişnuită, de şaisprezece ani – de fapt, nu chiar obişnuită, căci nu toate fetele de şaisprezece ani se pricep să mânuiască o armă şi nici nu ştiu prea multe despre Lumea Reală, lumea creaturilor întunecate. În plus, are ceea ce bunica ei numea „har”.

Când, într-un orăşel cufundat în zăpadă din Dakota de Sud,  tatăl lui Dru încearcă să distrugă un vampir puternic numit Sergej, el este transformat într-un zombi.  După ce îl împiedică pe tatăl ei să o omoare, Dru  îşi dă seama că a devenit următoarea ţintă a creaturilor nopţii şi trebuie să facă orice ca să-şi salveze pielea. Iar dacă vrea să supravieţuiască, trebuie să se bazeze pe ce au învăţat-o tatăl şi bunica ei: să înceapă să aibă încredere în oameni.

Alături de Graves, un coleg de clasă care este muşcat de o fiinţă stranie şi transformat într-un loup-garou (pe jumătate vârcolac), şi de Christophe, un djamphir (vânător de vampiri, pe jumătate vampir şi el), Dru se angajează într-o luptă pe viaţă şi moarte cu maleficul Sergej.

Altfel de îngeri este primul volum din seria care poartă acelaşi nume, şi aici facem cunoştinţă cu personajele principale. Deşi Graves pare să fie cel preferat de Dru, este clar că amândoi băieţii sunt suficient de atrăgători pentru a promite o anumită tensiune a relaţiilor în volumele viitoare. Iar Dru Anderson este o eroină fascinantă, credibilă, care aduce un suflu proaspăt în literatura de gen, puternică, îndrăzneaţă şi nicidecum perfectă, dură, dar în acelaşi timp vulnerabilă.

DRU ANDERSON

Nimeni nu îi poate spune ce să facă.

„Întunecată, periculoasă, sexy! Dru Anderson este o nouă eroină dură a cărei poveste o veţi citi dintr-o suflare.” – Richelle Mead, autoarea bestsellerului Academia Vampirilor

She is even more amazed to find out that she is a witch, and the last of her kind.

The Dragon Diaries series by Deborah Cooke

The next generation of shape-shifting dragons from the popular author of the Dragonfire novels.

Zoë Sorensson is perfectly normal, except she's been told she's destined for great things. Zoë's the one female dragon shapeshifter of her kind. But Zoë is at the bottom of the class when it comes to being Pyr and her powers are AWOL, so she's sent to a Pyr boot camp.

Zoë quickly realizes that she has to master her powers yesterday, because the Pyr are in danger and boot camp is a trap. The Mages want to eliminate all shifters and the Pyr are next in line-unless Zoë and her friends can work together and save their own kind.

Zoë Sorensson yearns to come into her powers as the only female dragon shifter. But being part of two worlds is more complicated than she expected. It’s bad enough that she’s the target of the Mages’ plan to eliminate all shifters—she also has to hide her true nature from her best friend Megan, a human. For her sixteenth birthday, all Zoë wants is one normal day, including a tattoo and a chance to see hot rocker Jared.

Instead, the Pyr throw her a birthday party but ban Megan from attendance, putting Zoë in a tight spot. Things get even worse when Zoe is invited to the popular kids’ Halloween party and Megan’s left out. Zoë knows the party is a trap laid by the host, an apprentice Mage. When Megan gets a last-minute invite, Zoë must save the day—and her best friend—without revealing her fire-breathing secrets . . .

Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne

 

This is a free short story that takes place ten months before the events of "Hounded", the first book in the Iron Druid Chronicles, coming 2011 from Del Rey.

http://www.kevinhearne.com/wp-content/up...

Tempe, Arizona is as far removed from paranormal activity as is possible. And that’s where Atticus O’Sullivan, rare book salesman, herb peddler, and 2,000 year old Druid the last of his kind has decided to set up shop. He’s been on the run, guarding a very powerful sword from a very angry ancient Celtic god for over two millennia now. But while these years have been good to him Atticus has become more powerful than he could have possibly imagined The Morrigan, a very old god of death, has predicted death and doom for our hero, and it’s up to Atticus, with help from a pride of werewolves, and a gorgeous bartender possessed by an Indian witch, to stay alive, hopefully for another thousand years.

Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, doesn’t care much for witches. Still, he’s about to make nice with the local coven by signing a mutually beneficial nonaggression treaty—when suddenly the witch population in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, quadruples overnight. And the new girls are not just bad, they’re badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II.

With a fallen angel feasting on local high school students, a horde of Bacchants blowing in from Vegas with their special brand of deadly decadence, and a dangerously sexy Celtic goddess of fire vying for his attention, Atticus is having trouble scheduling the witch hunt. But aided by his magical sword, his neighbor’s rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and his vampire attorney, Atticus is ready to sweep the town and show the witchy women they picked the wrong Druid to hex.

Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is worse than a blowhard and a bully—he’s ruined countless lives and killed scores of innocents. After centuries, Viking vampire Leif Helgarson is ready to get his vengeance, and he’s asked his friend Atticus O’Sullivan, the last of the Druids, to help take down this Norse nightmare.

One survival strategy has worked for Atticus for more than two thousand years: stay away from the guy with the lightning bolts. But things are heating up in Atticus’s home base of Tempe, Arizona. There’s a vampire turf war brewing, and Russian demon hunters who call themselves the Hammers of God are running rampant. Despite multiple warnings and portents of dire consequences, Atticus and Leif journey to the Norse plain of Asgard, where they team up with a werewolf, a sorcerer, and an army of frost giants for an epic showdown against vicious Valkyries, angry gods, and the hammer-wielding Thunder Thug himself.

Nightshade Series by Andrea Cremer

Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything--including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

 

This thrilling sequel to the much-talked-about Nightshade begins just where it ended-Calla Tor wakes up in the lair of the Searchers, her sworn enemy, and she's certain her days are numbered. But then the Searchers make her an offer-one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack-and the man-she left behind. Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive.

BREAKING DAWN TRAILER

Raised by Wolves Series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Adopted by the Alpha of a werewolf pack after a rogue wolf brutally killed her parents right before her eyes, fifteen-year-old Bryn knows only pack life, and the rigid social hierarchy that controls it. That doesn't mean that she's averse to breaking a rule or two.

But when her curiosity gets the better of her and she discovers Chase, a new teen locked in a cage in her guardian's basement, and witnesses him turn into a wolf before her eyes, the horrific memories of her parents' murders return. Bryn becomes obsessed with getting her questions answered, and Chase is the only one who can provide the information she needs.

But in her drive to find the truth, will Bryn push too far beyond the constraints of the pack, forcing her to leave behind her friends, her family, and the identity that she's shaped

Bryn is now leader of the Cedar Ridge pack of werewolves and she's convinced that her pack is different - it's democratic and fair. Then Bryn finds a battered teenage Were, Connor, bleeding on her front porch. He begs Bryn to protect him from an abusive leader; Bryn takes him into her pack.

But Bryn's Were partner Chase doesn't trust the new boy, and the more time she spends helping Connor, the more aggressive Chase becomes. Bryn is not sure if it's jealousy, or Were possessiveness but for the first time she starts to feel suffocated by the bond she and Chase share.

Filled with action, unlikely allies, and deadly conspiracies, Trial by Fire will change Bryn forever. She is soon to realise that to lead a pack of werewolves, she must give in to her animal instincts and become a little less human. And as hard as it's going to be, Bryn is going to have to do it alone.

There can only be one alpha.

The lethal gallu that were buried by his pantheon are stirring, and they are hungry for human flesh. Their goal: To destroy mankind. Sin is the only one who can stop them... if a certain woman doesn t kill him first.

Enemies have always made strange bedfellows, but never more so than when the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Now a man who only knows betrayal must trust the one person most likely to hand him to the demons. Artemis may have stolen his godhood, but this one has stolen his heart. The only question is: Will she keep it... or feed it to those who want him dead?

One cold winter’s night will change their lives forever…
Trapped together in a brutal winter storm, Aidan and Leta must turn to the only power capable of saving them—or destroying them both: trust.

The spellbinding Dream-Hunter series continues!

Until one day in a cemetery...
Simone Dubois is a medical examiner with a real knack for the job. Those who are wrongfully killed appear to her and help her find the evidence the police need to convict their killers. But when a man appears and tells her that she’s more than just a psychic, she’s convinced he’s insane.
Now the fate of the world hangs in her hands...
It was bad enough when just the dead relied on her. Now’s there’s the seductive Dream-Hunter Xypher who needs Simone’s help in opening a portal to the Atlantean hell realm to fight insatiable demons. The future of mankind is at stake—and so is her life. The only question now is: Who is the bigger threat: the demons out to kill her, or the man who has left her forever changed?

The most anticipated story in the blockbuster Dark-Hunter series. The never-before-revealed story of the Dark-Hunter leader, Acheron. He was made human in order to escape death, but in death he was reborn a god. . .
Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. However, his human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Then, brought back against his will, Acheron became the sole defender of mankind.
Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he’ll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.
Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.
War has never been more deadly... or more fun.
