Book Blurb
Valin has never quite fit in with the rest of the Paladin warriors. His power to manipulate shadow has always put him at odds with their purpose of using heavenly Light to eradicate evil. His warrior brothers have no idea how close he is to being lost to his dark nature.
But Maybe He Was Never All That Light to Begin With...
When Valin meets the vampire Gabriella, she awakens within him something he thought long buried. But as he watched Gabriella's need for vengeance to drag her down into the same dark hell that he's living, he knows his only chance at redemption is bringing her out of the dark...
Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Gabriella is a vampire. She was turned against her will and then used by her step-father Christos. She fights the vampire nature daily and refuses to feed from humans. Since that day four months ago in the cave, she has disguised herself and hidden from the Paladin and Valin. She blames herself for what happened and her part in it even though it was against her will. She has found a place among the enhanced humans and helps fight against those that have allied with Christos and Ganelon, Lucifer’s commander. She now hunts vampires and merkers.
Valin is a Paladin. He has been looking for Gabriella for four months. He knows she is alive after the explosion in the cave. She is his mate and he is determined to get to her before his brothers do.
He has to convince her and strives to take care of her. Something is happening to her that his is not sure of. Something isn’t right and she isn’t the girl from four months ago. He decides to stay with the humans for now and be close to her. They continue to fight along with the humans against Ganelon and his merkers. Then they realize that a major enemy is back when he kidnaps Annie, the daughter of the human leader and Gabriella. Valin has to do everything in his power to save them, even bargain his life.
I had a hard time getting into this book. I felt like I was missing important information. This was the third book in the series and the first one I have read. I suggest reading the first two then this one. I think it will make more sense in some places.
It got better as I read. The middle was pretty good with the battles and Valin chasing after Gabriella. I really didn’t like the ending. It was a happy one but I felt it was a bit cheesy for my tastes. I give it a 3 out of 5.
