Synopsis:
Bound by blood.
Tempted by desire.
Unleashed by destiny.
Bryce Quinlan had the perfect life—working hard all day and partying all night—until a demon murdered her closest friends, leaving her bereft, wounded, and alone. When the accused is behind bars but the crimes start up again, Bryce finds herself at the heart of the investigation. She’ll do whatever it takes to avenge their deaths.
Hunt Athalar is a notorious Fallen angel, now enslaved to the Archangels he once attempted to overthrow. His brutal skills and incredible strength have been set to one purpose—to assassinate his boss’s enemies, no questions asked. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, he’s offered an irresistible deal: help Bryce find the murderer, and his freedom will be within reach.
As Bryce and Hunt dig deep into Crescent City’s underbelly, they discover a dark power that threatens everything and everyone they hold dear, and they find, in each other, a blazing passion—one that could set them both free, if they’d only let it.
Book Beginning:
There was a wolf at the gallery door.
Friday 56:
So within the inner sanctum of the White Raven, Bryce savored every delight it offered.

Q: Do you have any bookish ornaments on your Christmas tree?
A: Nah, I have a cat who has a random obsession with playing with things that aren't cat-toys, even though she has toys.
I need this book in my life! :-) Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteFascinating excerpts! I also love the cover. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “DIRT”
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Sounds exciting :) May need to look at that book for myself. Our tree ornaments have been holding out okay against our two cats. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your holidays!
ReplyDeleteCrescent City sound good! I don't have any bookish ornaments on my tree either. :) I am a new subscriber. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThankfully my cat soon grows bored of the tree, though he does like to chew tinsel, so we avoid that! I didn't realise I need bookish ornaments until this question came up!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Cats are so much fun but definitely a hazard when it comes to Christmas trees. I hope you enjoy Crescent City! One day I will read something by Maas. I hope you enjoy your week and the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI need to read this one - it's been sitting on my shelf way too long!
