New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh is back in the shadows of a deadly, beautiful world where angels rule, vampires serve, and one female hunter must crawl out of the darkness to survive.
The severed head marked by a distinctive tattoo on its cheek should have been a Guild case, but dark instincts honed over hundreds of years of life compel the vampire Dmitri to take control. There is something twisted about this death, something that whispers of centuries long past…but Dmitri’s need to discover the truth is nothing to the vicious strength of his response to the hunter assigned to decipher the tattoo.
Savaged in a brutal attack that almost killed her, Honor is nowhere near ready to come face to face with the seductive vampire who is an archangel’s right hand, and who wears his cruelty as boldly as his lethal sensuality…the same vampire who has been her secret obsession since the day she was old enough to understand the inexplicable, violent emotions he aroused in her.
As desire turns into a dangerous compulsion that might destroy them both, it becomes clear the past will not stay buried. Something is hunting…and it will not stop until it brings a blood-soaked nightmare to life once more…
I haven't written a review in a very long time but this one deserved to have one. This book was seriously pretty awesome, but it's looks like the start of the stories of the other characters involved in this book. Now while Elena and Rapheal are really intrgiuing it's nice to get away from them and have them as secondary characters for a while. Also it was great that first story that's not based around Elena and Raphael was about dmitri. He's so dark and sexy. But the only flaw I thought of in this book was that it was very predictable, through oh probably a 1/4 of the way, I knew that Honor was something other than she was, and it was kind of downhill spiral on that aspect, though I did love it that she said "I'm Honor, Ingrede lived her life" that made it better.
