Tegan and Elise's second chance to happiness. Tegan's story couldn't have been better!! One of my favorites in Lara's writing are the strong females that she writes and boy did she write a strong female in Elise! Elise is a widow having lost her husband to a Rogue. Her whole life is wrong because of what the Merak and his Rogue nation have done to her family. She is determined to fulfill her promise to her family to avenge their deaths.
Elise is a Breedmate but she is also human therefore she can go out in the day time. Elise moves out of the Darkhaven where she lives and moves into a depilated apartment. Elise's curse/gift is that she can hear other human's thoughts. Using this curse/gift she hunts minions (human slaves made by Marek by draining them to a thread of their lives) and kills them. She always goes out during the day and is back in her apartment before dark. One day, in blood doused clothing, she doesn't make it back to her apartment before dark and is scented by two Rogues who immediately go after her. Tegan also scented her from the roof tops where he was hunting Rogues. When he found the source of the scent he immediately knew it was Elise. Tegan had given Elise a ride back to the Darkhaven where she lived on a visit to the Order's compound so he was familiar with her scent and attracted to her. Tegan interfered, saving her, and taking her back to her apartment.
Tegan was surprised how Elise's curse/gift affected her, especially since she had not fed from her mate in 5 years. Elise got horrific migraines because the voices in her head would not stop coming. Tegan was surprised how she had to live in order to be able to survive outside of the Darkhaven. After that their story begins. This is probably the most intriguing book so far. Just when you think the story has hit it's peak another unraveling takes you on another suspenseful journey.
As has been the case with all the books so far in this series the writing is flawless and flows beautifully. Characterization is three dimensional. All the characters are wonderfully written. We are introduced to a new character in this book that I absolutely loved.
On I go to read Rio's story. Already it looks very promising.
Highly recommended
