Publication date: January 24th 2018
Genres: New Adult, Urban Fantasy

In an abandoned warehouse in Manhattan, two enemies battle to the death, while outside, a malevolent entity watches and waits and plots, eager for blood. On an island in the heart of Seattle, an immortal princess struggles to lead a normal life just as a flood of terrifying creatures starts to pour in through a portal that should not be there. A young man meets a classmate while walking home from the college library, and embarks on the most dangerous adventure he’s ever known – will he survive? A deranged madman hunts the girl he’s lusted after for a century, in a relentless pursuit for vengeance. A prehistoric, mythical beast jealously guards a primeval land, which is leaking into present-day Seattle. A sweet, forbidden passion blossoms between two lovers who steal moments whenever they can, while unbeknownst to them, they’re hunted by a deadly creature.
A royal family threatened at its weakest – yet lethal in its own right – is stalked by an ancient evil that will not rest until they are utterly destroyed: a nightmare incarnate that has waited millions of years for revenge threatens the very existence of the young lovers and their family.
Will they prevail?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN ARC OF THIS BOOK, THROUGH XPRESSO BOOK TOURS, IN PARTICIPATION OF A BLOG TOUR. THIS IS MY HONEST REVIEW.

This was a rather interesting read. I will say I didn't quite get the "umph" I was expecting. The idea is great. The characters were not over the top, but they most definitely were not dull. There was suspense; I liked the interactions between characters. It was a good read. I can definitely see myself picking it up again for several more reads. I wouldn't say it's my "top" read or choice of fantasy, but it's up there. It takes some "UMPH" for me to like a fantasy (the way I LOVED Air Awakens by Elise Kova). All in all, a good book.
