Her human traits, combined with her unique supernatural gifts, make her a prized being to be possessed . . . or destroyed.

HIDES DANGER AND DESIRE

He'll need that strength and more to protect her from those who wish to destroy him and everything he desires. For Sean carries a secret that binds him to an enemy from the past and to a darker, deadlier force-a malignant evil that is hunting the women of Whidbey Island . . .

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala


I had a hard time getting in to this book.  The story line was very confusing to me.  I did not read the first book of the series so was lost when reading this book.  It really doesn't stand alone.  There was a lot going on and I assume that it was carried over from the first book.  The relationship of the main characters didn't seem real or believable.  The way the author wrote their relationship was distant.  They claimed to love each other but I had a hard time seeing it.

This book is about Sean who is a werehound and part of an elite group that protects innocents against the paranormal world that humans are unaware of.  The paranormal in this story include vampires, werewolves, and the Fae.  He has a past and is being chased by the werehound who turned him.  Sean is being hunted by the law for murder that his sire werehound framed him for.  While he is hiding he joins the werehound pack that helps the human race.  The werehound pack is searching for Deseran women to mate with in order to build their species from the brink of extinction.

Sean’s mate is Elin.  She was kidnapped as an infant and raised by the queen of the Fae, Tarhazian.  She leaves the land of the Fae, banished by the queen for helping the werehounds.  The werehounds assume she is Fae and the pack doesn’t quite trust her.  Her relationship with Sean is frowned upon by his pack and the Fae queen who threatens Elin.

As the war between paranormals and the werehounds progress, Elin searches her true identity and what she really is.  Sean fights to protect her and his pack. His past catches up to him and he is in the fight for his life and his mate. 



I give this book a 2 out of 5
I really didn't care for it.
