About this book
Genessa Carmen has spent her entire life surviving on the fringes, haunted by her mother’s cryptic warnings about beings coming to claim her. When those prophecies manifest in the form of seven powerful, enigmatic brothers, her world shatters. She is thrust into a hidden supernatural realm where angels are not just legends but the architects of universal order. These brothers, known as the Seven, reveal that Genessa possesses a volatile magic capable of tilting the scales of the Balance itself.
As she integrates into this fierce found-family, Genessa must grapple with a dangerous truth: her own power is slowly consuming her. Ethan, the intense and duty-bound Second of the Seven, is tasked with her protection, but their connection quickly transcends professional obligation. Caught in a web of celestial politics and lethal premonitions, Genessa finds herself at the center of an ancient war between light and shadow.
This gripping paranormal romance pulls readers into a high-stakes world where the line between good and evil is dangerously blurred. With the forces of darkness closing in, Genessa faces an impossible choice: align with the devil for retribution or sacrifice everything to protect the brothers who have become her only home. Prepare for an addictive, pulse-pounding journey.

Follow Genessa and the 7 in an effort to keep the balance. I was up later than I planned and could not put it down. Good and Evil are not black and white and its hard to decide which side if any Genessa will choose. I can say I am definitely ready for the next book already. A wonderful mix of fantasy with romance and action as well. MK Franklin has built a world that really pulls you straight in and you may never want to get back out. ) 3 people found this helpful
