                Synopsis

Half human, half god, Dagan Krayl is the Underworld’s most powerful soul reaper. When one of his brothers is murdered, Dagan must use every ounce of his powers to hunt down those responsible for his brutal death. But he must move swiftly – and carefully – if he’s to have any chance of resurrecting his brother.

     

Yet that resurrection could wreak havoc on the mortal world. As an Otherkin, Roxy Tam has sworn to protect the human race, and it’s her mission to stop Dagan. But when she sees him face-to-face, she realises that she has encountered him once before – a meeting that changes her life forever.

     

Neither Dagan nor Roxy expect to join forces for the sake of mankind. Or to have their loyalties tested as they struggle against the potent desire that threatens to consume them both...

      my Thoughts (review)

It wasn’t my thing. Yeah, lots of them are that way, but I can’t get into Egyptian mythical law, no matter who the hells writing it. So sorry, but that’s mostly why I didn’t like the book, wrong mythical beings.

So this review is written now, about what I remember this book to be like, from the small number of times that I actually read the book, and saying this, it’s a good thing, really that I read the book more than once, it means that I enjoyed it, even though I didn’t really enjoy it.

Saying this, it was a well written book, with characters that both struggled with threw their first meeting, which happened when Dagan was sent to retrieve a dark soul and Roxy just happened to be the evil humans kidnap victim at the time. That short but intense meeting left both of them connected in a way that Dagan didn’t know possible and Roxy didn’t understand (and she doesn’t until the very end, which is actually nice).

Year later we find both Dagan and Roxy looking for the same person, the ones that killed Dagan’s brother, which shouldn’t be possible, being that he’s immortal and all that. This is what the series is about, finding why and how they pulled his brother apart.

Now Roxy finds and hides a child that’s important to the story, so I’m going to leave that part out and Dagan finds out the Roxy knows things he needs to and so, that gets them back together again. a reunion that doesn’t go very smoothly, mostly because Roxy is a spit-fire of a lass that doesn’t like what Dagan had done to her, both mind and body, all those years ago, although her main problem is that he left.

This puts them in a tight spot and the rest of the book (and most of it) finds us in a room getting Roxy better.

The writing style of the book is great, the characters, even the ones to come, are all well thought out and developed in a way that you can see their stories, or there half of their story from this point. and when it came to the simple love affair between Dagan and Roxy it’s a great story, I just didn’t care of the history and information, the plot of the story and so I can’t find it in myself to ever read another.

But if it’s your thing, really, you should jump on bored and have a go at this series.
