Synopsis
‘Ravyn Kontis is most definitely not human.
He’s been born into the world of nocturnal predators who commanded the hidden
magicks of the earth – who ruled its darker arts – and he had died as one of
their toughest fighters... now he walks the earth as something else. Something
soulless. Something ferocious and even deadlier than what he’d been before...’
Susan Michaels is a reporter
on a mission to resurrect her professional reputation. And she only has to
brave her cat allergy at a local animal shelter to follow the lead that could
get her off the tabloid beat forever. But she gets more than she bargained for
when she inadvertently adopts one of the cats...
As soon as she gets home the
cat turns into a gorgeous naked man. Ravyn is entirely unique – a Were-Hunter
as well. Suddenly, Susan is pulled into Ravyn’s mysterious world – one full of
danger and magic. And, despite the way he makes her sneeze, despite the danger
that swirls around him, she can’t resist him...
Thoughts
This is one of those book
with a very strong female lead, and being that Ravyn in unconcuss for a large
chunk and then as he lets his family treat him the way it is... well, that
strong helps make this story into something different and, well, great. And
it’s a great one
This ones, is a book about
families. Yep, family.
Susan who has none, not even
her close friend are still alive by chapter 2. She’s has absolutely nothing
left until she’s pushed into Ravyn’s hands and then into the world of Dark-hunters.
It’s unexpected and only her courage and past problem that helps her deal with
it.
Ravyn, is hated by his
family because of something that happened in past lives, and even though they
don’t want to they are forced to take him in (mainly because they own a
sanctuary in the same town he lives in) and even though Ravyn understand why
they hated him. Even hates himself a little because of it, he still hurts from
it all.
Then the main plot. A
someone is killing off the dark-hunters because one of then killed his wife and
he’s wants to protect his sons.
See family.
Looking at it put that way,
it kind of reminds me of a crime show, where they have something in the main
part—or the rollover plot about what the crimes about. And this is that. Susan
is a reporter, and acts like one with everyone around her. Both driven to find
out truths about others as well as simple enough to understand when she needs
to see things differently.
I love the little speech
near the end of this book (actually there’s two) that she gives to his family
before there off for the final battle, it’s one I’d love to share but it’s too
much of a spoiler—both of my fav parts in this one are.
