Although Fala Rainwater has been anointed the next tsmishian—a shape shifter of unparalleled capacity, she can’t help getting in the way of her own destiny. When Tumsemeha is resurrected once more, a great and glorious evil comes to devour our world and hide among the corrupted bodies of Washington’s elite. Yet only one man can get Fela close to her hidden enemy....

As liaison to the government’s more secretive and supernatural sector, Agent Stephen Winter has plenty riding on Tumsemeha’s defeat. But who is he really working for? With an unreadable aura, this enigmatic warlock holds too many secrets, and Fala will need to probe their depths if she is to become the Earth’s Guardian and save mankind at its darkest hour...

      my Thoughts (review)

so, this book was about a woman who is going to hold power that can taken down anyone and a man who is blackmailed into keeping her from that.

easy, simple, and yet the book is so full of information, and I’m sure—it is—meant to be there. We need the information so that we can understand it all, I guess, but there was just too much, especially for such a simple story line. I got tied of it at around 130 pages, though it did pick up nicely in like the 140 area, so it wasn’t all that bad.

The end of this book was really where it hit off, where the decision he had to make came into it and the real struggle happened. Where the people around her got frustrated and apologetic and everything started to fit even when it seemed it was all falling apart. Still, was it worth all that crap to begin with?

I don’t have the answer, though saying this, maybe now the other books in this series will be better because we got all the info out of the way in this book, but I have a feeling it wouldn’t change all that much.

Hall is a great writer but not so much my type of style, especially when it comes to romance novels, there was too much about what was happening around them the inner thoughts, and the sex was very, well, dull, not detailed in any way that got you wiggling in your seat. So if that’s what you like, then this book is the one for you! But me, not so much.
