Reviews

[Sharon Bidwell · Rating 4 out of 5]

An extraordinary suspenseful passionate adventure. It's a shame some readers of suspense may shy from the romantic elements, and some readers of romance may hesitate to delve into a world so richly layered as this, but what action-packed blockbuster doesn't contain components of both? The romance is far from saccharine and the action far from puerile. The reading experience was much like watching a feature film play out, and I equate the 'experience' of reading this in that format -- like watching a television series. Though not the type of material I would routinely read, the writer's command of world building, story-layering, knowledge, and use of myth and fact, means I'll be reading the rest of this series, though the first can be read as a standalone book.

Matthew Raleigh knows Hell intimately. He’s been there too many times in the past, and he’ll do anything to avoid going back again. A former SEAL determined to bring hope to the hopeless, Matt formed Project Prometheus, a mercenary organization dedicated to eradicating terror. But his own prejudice against the supernatural could cost Matt the only thing he’s ever wanted -- love.

Manara Binte Alzena never asked to be anyone’s savior. So when the destiny to save the world from a great evil was placed upon her, she did the only thing she knew how to escape it -- she ran. When her brother murders their mother and destroys her home, Manara knows she can no longer outrun her destiny. To stop her brother's evil plans, she must rely on the one man who can break her heart.
