"I need to be away from you. You need to be away from me. You'll thank me for this someday; I promise you that." For fourteen years Iman Gautier had recited his parting words to Neema White like a lullaby parents sung to their children. Never releasing the hope that they weren't the sole thing she remembered of him. Of them. Yet, when you were literally created for a purpose shaped by the beguiling hands of Lucifer himself, hope was fickle. Cursed with a congenial link to rougarou--a stronger form of lyncanthrope that once served at the devil's feet--Iman was forced to accept that his beast carried the weight of urges that couldn't be contained with the simplistic things that pleased his evolved pack. A contract with one of hell's many hands saw to the removal of his bond with the underworld, leaving him unrestrained to return to all that he'd left behind in his search for freedom from his literal and proverbial demons. Unfortunately, once back he discovers that his difference matters little to the only one who he endured the flames of purgatory for. The very soul of Iman has eradicated any thought of him from herself and refuses any explanation of his departure from their life together. Worse still, his younger brother--the current Alpha of their pack--has absolutely no intention of allowing Iman to reposition himself in Neema's good graces before the onset of the blood moon run. A tradition carried forth to help the unmated find their chosen, the run could truly mean the loss of his beloved she-wolf forever if his sibling has his way. Yet, Iman has walked through the blaze of everlasting fire, withstood the manipulations of evil's very sire. and survived for over a decade without the gentle touch of his heart's desire. There is nothing earthly or below that can deter him. And his prayers ironically center on those who even think to stand in his way...

Buckling down, she‟s taken the time to polish what she refers to as her "writing superiority." She hopes that the tales she has created grab the readers‟ attention, and make them devoted slaves to her will fans.

Normally, I enjoy a Nikki Winter story but this one just didn't click for me. I just couldn't like the characters. Neema aggravated me, not to mention Booth. The one character I did like was Amara. Go figure. Maybe, I just didn't like the condemnation of a child for the prideful acts of the parents.
I Love Nikki, although this book didn't disappoint me, it kind of lack more laughter. The exchange between Neema and her god' daughter was entertaining but still the book though great just didn't have the humor most of her other books do. But I enjoyed reading it still.
I haven't read a Nikki Winter book in a while and I enjoyed seeing the maturity in her writing. This book had depth in its story telling and in its inclusion of facts and intrigue. Truly an enjoyable read.
