Blurb/Synopsis:
It’s a desperate time for rookie vampire Alyssa, and her sanity is hanging by a slender thread. Her clan is still reeling from the monumental battle with Aniketos; a battle that claimed the body of Lysander, her sire and lover, and trapped his spirit in a mysterious crystal. A Soulstone.
Unfortunately, no amount of magic has been able to release Lysander’s spirit, and the stone is starting to fade. Weeks of effort have proved futile. Her clan, the Peregrinus, have all but given up hope. Only Alyssa still believes her lover can be released. In despair, Alyssa begs the help of the local witch coven, and unwittingly exposes the supernaturals of Boston to unwanted attention from the Acta Sanctorum.
The Saints converge on the city and begin their cleansing crusade to rid the world of all things “Unnatural.” In the middle of an all-out war, but no closer to a solution to the dying stone, Alyssa is left with an unenviable choice: save her mate, or save her clan.

The 10 year old me…. She’d probably be happy with me being a writer. But she’d expect me to be rich by now. I might get my butt kicked for not hitting that goal yet. LoL.

Favorite Lines “I’d wake up in my bed, reach out to the empty sheets, and feel nothing but crushing emptiness. It’s hard to believe that the absence of someone can bear such a heavy weight on one’s soul, but it does.”
“As frustrating as you can be sometimes, Alyssa, I’m glad you’re so recklessly loyal.”
“Alyssa?” he rasped. “Yes, baby it’s me!” Tears welled in my eyes. “I thought I’d never see your face again, my love.” His voice was a dry purr, but it was music to my ears. “It’s you. It is you. Oh, Lysander.”
This author does it again! This Immortalis series is fabulous. Page turning action. This one left off where Pandora's Box left off and threw us right back into Alyssa's fight to get her mate Lysander back. She dying a little bit inside every day Lysander isn't in her arms. Watching her struggle with what's going on is so emotional. She feels everyone has given up. Just when she thinks she will get him back she's betrayed by a witch coven who have made a deal with Acta Sanctorum. They are after the Soulstone. How could they not be it's a prison for "the monsters" the Sanctorum will do anything to get the stone include attack Connor's Pack. So much destruction by people who think the are monsters. It's so sad.
The last chapters I cried my eyes out! I won't tell you why but OMG awesome!
