Synopsis: Zahara Faraday looks like a normal eighteen-year-old and lives in a
quiet neighborhood with her overprotective parents. She works at a bookstore
and hangs out with her best friend Becca King on a daily basis. But underneath
the normal lies a secret life filled with dangerous supernaturals. Zahara
belongs to a world made of Light Witches, rogue Imagoes (supernatural creatures
with super strength, speed, and silver skin when the moon is out), fallen
angels, and Nephilim (hybrid children born half-human, half-angel). Where her
father Solomon Faraday is human, her mother Mia and her Aunt Catalina are Light
Witches. They help protect the human world by hunting down rogue supernaturals
who commit heinous acts against humans. What they never expected was the
possibility of having to hunt down the one rogue coven they had befriended and
come to trust in their battle against Lucifer. Rekesh Saint-Louis is the leader
of the most powerful Imago coven in Florida and now he’s the most suspected.
Supernatural bodies are starting to pile up with an ancient ritual long forbade
being used to murder them and the symbol, one large cross with four smaller
crosses around it—which represents Rekesh’s coven— being left behind. Rekesh
and the Elders of his coven set out to find who is behind the murders and
clearing his name before a war between the covens begins. To make matters more
difficult, Rekesh also has to deal with the return of someone he has been
keeping a secret.
Meanwhile, Zahara and Becca are spending more time brushing up on their training, knowing an attack from Lucifer can come at any moment. Between patrolling neighborhoods and hanging at the boarding school created by Charles Stephens—a fallen angel who created the school to protect the children of rogue supernaturals—they are thrown into one battle after another. Zahara begins to develop a closer bond with Jason as they train and chase down clues to clear Rekesh’s name. What she doesn’t know is the very powerful secret Jason is keeping; a secret that will change the course of the fight with Lucifer.
But Rekesh’s coven being set up isn’t the only danger. A new powerful and lethal drug has emerged from the shadows of the supernatural world called Inferi. The drug has two deadly side effects: it leaves the supernatural hungering for blood—both human and supernatural—and grants them the elemental power they had once possessed.
Lucifer is on the move and he will stop at nothing to get his hands on Zahara and complete the first act of his plan.
A battle is about to begin.
One that may cost the Faraday family everything they hold dear.

Synopsis: Have you ever wondered what could be hiding in the shadows?
Well, for eighteen-year-old Zahara Faraday, she doesn’t have to wonder. You see she comes from a lineage of Light Witches, those who have chosen to help protect and serve between the supernatural world and the human world. The only problem is Zahara, like her father Solomon, is as human as a human being can be whereas her mother, Mia, and her Aunt Catalina, were born as Light Witches. As a family they hunt down rogue supernaturals—creatures who harm humans or who have committed an act against their kingdom.
Zahara’s hunting skills are usually kept dormant since her parents would prefer she live life as a normal human girl without knowledge of the supernatural world. She plans on doing just that—except when she finds a couple being attacked by fairies, she has no choice but to step in. Before she can return to pretending to be blissfully ignorant, Zahara encounters a problem she isn’t the least equip to handle: Bryan Hamilton, the good looking new co-worker she has to help train. In a heartbeat, her best friend, Becca King, has set her up on a double date with herself and her new crush, Rekesh Saint-Louis, who happens to be the most powerful leader of the biggest Imago Coven in South Florida –supernatural creatures with the ability to control water . . . and suck out human souls.
Zahara has no time to focus on how she’s going to explain her double date with her best friend and the enemy they have a tentative truce with to her parents because soon one of the members of Mia and Catalina’s coven is found murdered with a strange tattoo of a snake with wings carved into his arm.
Zahara is then thrown into a whirlwind battle with an angel determined to have revenge against God, an Imago coven she doesn’t think they should trust, and slew of dream-eating fairies and powerful Nephilims, hybrid children of angels and humans, more than happy to rip her to shreds.
Normal just got a deadlier definition.

“I love your stubbornness above all else. It blinds you from seeing the truth,
and it makes you loyal to those you should not trust.”
“Because
we’re still alive despite what Lucifer has already tried to do us. Because
we’re stronger together. Because I believe in us,”
“Trust
me?” he whispered. “Make me regret it again and I’ll make sure you hurt
like hell for it this time,”
“Sometimes
it’s hard to retain a sense of who I once was before coming here when I’m
surrounded by battles everywhere I look.”

Lucifer
is just crazy! I'm officially saying it! He's got some messed up issues!
Zahara's
an amazingly strong heroine who amazing me more with every book in this series!

this book Michael gets involved to stop Lucifer! He uses my favorite character
Jason!

this one involves stealing souls and a Dark Fae!
I
was on an emotional roller coaster ride while reading this. Becca has a mini
breakdown, she just can't deal with all the supernatural drama. Rekesh is
such an amazing boyfriend to her thru all this. I'm talking in circles because
I'm stunned by this book! It's just phenomenal!
The
ending rocked me! I was stunned!
There
was action, loss, BETRAYAL, love, epic magic, and so much death! This author
sends you on a ride through this story! I can't wait to see what comes next!
