[Kim Deister]

He wakes up in a seedy motel, injured and with no memories of who he is and where he has been. It is only after he drives himself to a hospital that he learns his own name, Cade Shepard, and that he has been missing since he was a small child. But Cade still has no memory of his life so he has to rebuild his life. He becomes a well-known ultimate fighter, enjoying his new life but always feeling like something is missing for him. In the midst of a fight one night, he spots a woman in the crowd, a woman who is about to change his life once again.

I enjoyed this book. The story was engaging, a great blend of the paranormal, romance and action. The blend of reality and otherworld aspects was flawless. My only criticism of the book is personal and has nothing to do withthe quality of the writing and storytelling, and that is the portrayal of the military as relatively evil. I'm an Army vet and an Army wife, so that's the explanation. Did it keep from enjoying the novella and wanting to read the next? Absolutely not!
