Piper Griffiths wants one thing in life: To become a Consul, a keeper of the peace between humans and daemons. There are three obstacles in her way.
The first is Lyre. Incubus. Hotter than hell and with a wicked streak to match. His greatest mission in life is to annoy the crap out of her, but he isn't as harmless as he seems. The second is Ash. Draconian. Powerful. Dangerous. He knows too much and reveals nothing. Also, disturbingly attractive — and scary. Did she mention scary?
The third is the Sahar Stone. Top secret magical weapon of mass destruction. Previously hidden in her Consulate until thieves broke in, went on a murder spree, and disappeared with the weapon.
And they left Piper to take the fall for their crimes.
Now she's on the run, her dreams of becoming a Consul shattered and every daemon in the city gunning to kill her. She's dead on her own, but there's no one she can trust — no one except two entirely untrustworthy daemons ... See problems one and two.
I had a really fantastic time reading this book! I've read one of her other books and I really enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to getting to know these characters and this world! The history, the politics, and the relationships between these characters were just all so great to read!
Apparently this book is a good entry way into the series, but I didn't do much research before requesting this book, or preparation by reading the trilogy set before the start of this series, which is my bad. I'm going to have to go back and read those books, and soon, before I forget details about this world!
I really enjoyed getting to know these 3 as they were on the run, trying to find her dad, and dealing with all the people that were after this stone. I'm not sure if there's going to be romance, but there certainly was attraction there!
The set of this plot was really interesting and fast paced, and the story was over before I knew it, leaving me with questions, that have me itching to continue on with the series. I need to know why Ash would stay, and how he was going to get out of the situation that he was in. It was just so good!
Loved reading this book and I can't wait to continue the series, and read more by Annette Marie!
