A Psy/Changeling novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Shards of Hope, Shield of Winter, and Heart of Obsidian..."the alpha author of paranormal romance" (Booklist).
A ghost returns from a leopard changeling’s past, making him question everything—even his base animal instincts…
Clay Bennett is a powerful DarkRiver sentinel, but he grew up in the slums with his human mother, never knowing his changeling father. As a young boy without the bonds of Pack, he tried to stifle his animal nature. He failed…and committed the most extreme act of violence, killing a man and losing his best friend, Talin, in the bloody aftermath. Everything good in him died the day he was told that she, too, was dead.
Talin McKade barely survived a childhood drenched in bloodshed and terror. Now a new nightmare is stalking her life—the street children she works to protect are disappearing and turning up dead. Determined to keep them safe, she unlocks the darkest secret in her heart and returns to ask the help of the strongest man she knows...
Clay lost Talin once. He will not let her go again, his hunger to possess her, a clawing need born of the leopard within. As they race to save the innocent, Clay and Talin must face the violent truths of their past…or lose everything that ever mattered.
I really love that the author can take a character I didn’t really care for and make me fall madly in love with them. I wasn’t very impressed with Clay in the first books but after reading this one I can’t believe I didn’t like him! I love that the author can change my perspective on a character!
I also really love the plot for this one. I thought the whole kids disappearing thing was kind of cool. I mean it’s sad but the way they went about it was different. I liked the whole Psy-Human thing that was introduced too. The series is getting really interesting. I’m excited to see what happens with the Ghost since we didn’t see a lot of him in this book. I can’t wait to see who else joins the packs!
*Note: This is definitely an adult book and if you’re not over 18 I wouldn’t recommend reading this.
