Ruby is a gem psychic with a tarnished past and no reason to trust. She’s on the run from those who’d love to use her power to gain immortality, but fate throws her into the arms of a vampire bat shifter. Jase is unlike anyone Ruby has ever known. She pleasures her body and steals her heart.
There has to be more to a woman who wants her just for herself. Ruby fears this is just a ruse. However, Jase is willing to sacrifice all she has, including her life, to save Ruby. So, Ruby finds herself face-to-face with a decision she’s never had to make—love or death.

Maybe I liked this installment better because there were no ultimatums or punishment delivered for speaking one’s mind. Ownership was there through the Nate bond but no bdsm that felt it was applied wrong. Jase allowed Ruby to come to her naturally and without force. She was only ever kind to her. Showcasing her safety net should she (Ruby) choose to stay. The mate bond is a compulsion but not definitive. One still had free will. At least in this relationship. I was happy to read the love story unfolding between the two than I had with the others.
I would love to get back to the world of the spiders, ladybugs and etc again.
