Even with everything happening around them something seems to be changing between Hunter and Aylin. Feelings for each other begins to surface between the two as they fight for their lives and it is quickly becoming hard to ignore, but once out of the demon realm they can't be together for fear of breaking the contracted deal causing the death of Hunter's clan. The line has now been drawn and Hunter must face the hardest choice he has had to make. Stay with Aylin and be happy risking the death of his clan family or continue the mating to a female Hunter doesn't love and sacrifice his happiness. Two choices, love or duty. Choose wisely.

Thoughts: I literally flew through this book, I am not even kidding I num num nummed this book all the way up. I am loving this series so much they are extremely good paranormal romance novels with really good plots. Normally I don't read a whole series of books back to back but I will admit that I have now read all three books in this series in less than two months. I will be doing a review for the third book in the series later on. These books don't feel like you're reading the same story line over and over like most book series do. Each book focuses on a different characters with chapters being split up between the point of view of the two chosen characters. The whole method of this type of writing makes it feel like you are getting way more story than you normal would by just reading from one character's point of view. I am officially intrigued and I will be checking out Larissa Ione's other books in the future.
