Amazon Review: The storyline is unique and creative. The characters will make you fall in love with them. The action will have you on the edge of your seat but the steamy scenes will have you craving more!
“You
don’t have to fear me. You’re
safe.” Hunter reiterated his promise and
cupped her face.
Hunter’s
vision blackened around the edges and a second later, he plunged into a
darkness. He didn’t understand when he
heard her quiet voice.
“I’m
not so sure about that.”
The
next minute, Hunter sensed his surroundings changed. He blinked his eyes, getting used to the
darkness after the bright, blinding light of the snow. He still found himself on his knees and as he
moved his fingers searching for the woman who had been right in front of him,
he found she wasn’t there any longer.
Hunter
closed his eyes and listened to his surroundings.
There
was a low hum from a computer fan somewhere in the room and there was
breathing, deep, as if the person was asleep.
Before he could investigate further, a desk lamp clicked on and his eyes
moved toward the arrogant looking man seated, cross-legged, on an uncomfortable
metal chair. He had a smug look on his
face and Hunter wanted to break his face.
Hunter
pulled his gaze from the man and took a quick glance around and to him,
something about it seemed familiar. The
sterile coldness, the clear glass that looked out into the hall, the white
formica tiles on the floor. Sterile and
clean. The place gave him the creeps.
When
he turned his gaze to the man in the lab coat, his gaze wasn’t on Hunter but on
a woman laying on the exam table he hadn’t seen until that moment.
Hunter
took a deep breath, trying to examine the scents in the room and looking for a
familiar one, but there was nothing. He
should have scented the sterile environment, the blue liquid on the counter
along with wooden sticks and cotton balls, but there was nothing.
He
growled in frustration but neither the older gray-haired doctor, nor the woman
strapped down with her mouth covered to muffle sound, reacted to the sound
escaping from his throat.
Without
another thought, he lunged for the doctor but he passed through the figure.
Okay, I’m not here. Can’t scent, can’t touch.
Hunter
turned toward the table and sucked in a deep breath as the familiar features of
the woman in the mountains came into focus.
Her face looked gaunt, but it was the dark brown hair and matching eyes
that took him by surprise because she looked familiar. Her body looked starved and despite the
bruising on her limbs and the dark circles under her eyes; she looked back at
the doctor in defiance.
Hunter
jolted when the man spoke.
“So,
Nerissa… it appears you’re an utter failure as a shifter.” His eyes glanced down as if he were ashamed
by her lack of abilities. “But you are a
prime candidate for an experimental drug my colleagues and I have been working
on.”
Her
gaze narrowed as he continued to speak and he noted her body shook with the
continuous growl that emitted from her throat.
“You
had such promise. Oh, well.”
As if waiting for that statement, a nurse walked in and handed a syringe
to the man. “Here you go, Dr. Stevens.”
Blurb:
Half-vampire and half-shifter.
The one definitive belief
panther-shifter Hunter and the other immortals understood about shifters and
vampires; vampire venom is deadly to shifters and vice versa. But Hunter never worried about testing the
theory because he never wondered if he had a mate, even after a few of his
family had found their own. As he and
two others stumble upon and eliminate several rogue shifters, part of a larger
group determined to kill each of the assassins, Hunter also stumbles upon the one
woman destined to be his. There’s only
one problem. She’s part vampire.
All alone in the world.
Despite everything, Neri made a life
for herself after she escaped from a facility using her as a test subject. She has no past, no family, and no connections
to the world as far as she can remember.
She stays to herself and finds a routine, telling herself she isn’t
lonely. But everything changes when she
spots Hunter and her first true memory revealed. He was there the day someone injected her
with an experimental drug and changed into this cold being.
As Neri and Hunter navigate their
newfound relationship, their journey becomes even more complicated when they
learn Neri’s venom is deadly to shifters.
But with help from the other immortals, Hunter and Neri reveal her past
and realize the extent of the threat Dark Company has been dealing with for
years.
But can their relationship survive with so much stacked against them?
