About this book
Stepping out of her comfort zone, anxious author Lily Reynolds trades her quiet life for the haunting allure of New Orleans. She expects a vacation filled with sightseeing and local legends, but a chance encounter in the shadowed streets of the French Quarter pulls her into a world far more dangerous than any ghost story.
Jared Claverack has spent his life prowling the darkness, serving as a silent guardian of his city. When he catches sight of Lily, his long-dormant instincts ignite. He recognizes her instantly as his destined mate, a connection that sparks a fierce, protective obsession. But in a city where the veil between worlds is thin, Jared is not the only creature prowling the night. Malevolent forces are closing in, hungry for the light Lily brings into his shadowed existence.
This pulse-pounding paranormal romance masterfully blends the fated mates trope with the suspense of a supernatural thriller. As ancient evils stir in the City of the Dead, Jared must decide if he is strong enough to shield his soulmate from a fate worse than death. Perfect for fans of shifter romances and dark, atmospheric settings, this story is a captivating journey of love, protection, and the courage to survive the night.

I got the free download and read this on the cloud reader when I was bored at work. It was entertaining enough for me to finish it, but that's about it. There were times when I was shocked by how elementary the writing style was. Seems like a very unseasoned writer who liked the Twilight series and decided to develop her own version with older characters and a lot of steamy sex. Basically, I think her writing style needs a lot of work, but the story line was interesting. ) 3 people found this...
