Tessa Rhodes has been as good as dead for seven years—ever since the dweller that killed her family decided to turn her into one of its kind. She’s kept the infection at bay while taking out as many dwellers as possible, but knows her time is almost up. Going out fighting was always her plan, until she meets a man with golden eyes and a touch that makes her want to change her destiny.
Marcus Lowell has dedicated his life to the Blades of Janus, hoping to build peace between humans and dwellers and find a place for himself in the process. He’s used the strength, speed, and heightened senses of his own dweller nature with that single-minded focus—but when Tessa Rhodes storms into his life, all he can think about is her.
Tessa’s arrival upsets the balance among all the Blades in Providence, awakening urges Marcus has fought since he was infected. If he can convince her to let him fight at her side, they stand a chance against the dweller pursuing her—and maybe a chance at something more. Will she trust him, or will the dweller tracking her be the death of them both?

This book was fantastic! It had loads of action, steamy scenes, and it kept me wanting to read more! The world of the Blades is so cool, that I want to join their team :D I definitely want to know what happens next! Also, Vaughn is my baby, no one touch him.
Wow! This book has it all! Action, technology, aliens, werewolves, and some romance as well. The action is pretty much non-stop and the mission of the Blades is quite important. I will have to read the next in the series of course!
Fun and creative "urban sci-fi". I really liked the main characters but... what is a curator! Can't wait to find out more when the next book comes out.
Cassandra Chandler has created a fascinating world. The monsters of legend are real. Tessa has been fighting them since she was a teenager. She was taught that the only good Dweller was a dead Dweller, but meeting Marcus makes her question that. He might be a Dweller, but he also makes her feel safe. And very interested. As for Marcus, Tessa is bringing him into touch with more of his Dweller side and he's finding that's not necessarily a bad thing. There are spider-headed zombies (oh yes), creepy twins who are more than they seem, and ghouls to deal with as Tessa and Marcus grow closer. We're left with more mysteries to look forward to as this series continues, and I'm impatient to know more!
