“Lush, sexy, and thrilling . . . darkly addictive.”
—Jeaniene Frost,
“This darkly dramatic tale is one wild ride in a series that only promises to get better.”
—
“Another world comprised of both shimmering beauty and tactile violence. . . . Fusing and melding the worlds of angels, vampires, and mortals into a story where appearances hide greater truths ensures an engrossing and matchless reading experience.”
“Phoenix trips the dark fantastic in this wild, bloody sequel. . . . She keeps the plot thick and the tension high.”
—
“Filled with twisting plots, shadowy government agencies, conspiracies, and betrayals . . . this dark urban fantasy is not only action-packed from beginning to end, but at its core, it is also a story of hope and love.”
—
“The atmosphere is dark, and treachery abounds, making this story white-knuckle reading in the extreme.”
—
“Hard-charging action sequences, steamy sex scenes, and a surprising government conspiracy make this debut engrossingly fun.”
—
“Phoenix’s lively debut has it all. . . . Phoenix alternates romantic homages to gothdom and steamy blood- drinking threesomes with enough terse, fast-paced thriller scenes to satisfy even the most jaded fan.”
—
“Phoenix’s gritty and original characters are instantly engaging, and the rapid pace keeps you glued to the pages.”
—
“A thrilling tale of lust and murder that will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next.”
—
“A complex, layered story filled with twists and turns . . . a dark, rich treat you won’t soon forget.”
—
“This one pulled me in from the first page. Heather and Dante are among those rare characters readers so often look for and seldom find.”
—Barb Hendee,
“A fast-paced ride, its New Orleans setting appropriately rich and gothic, its characters both real and surprising.”
—Kristine Kathryn Rusch,
