About this ebook

Gargoyle shifter Roman is on high alert as he patrols from a Boston rooftop.

When a blast of dark magic reaches him, he tracks a beautiful, mysterious woman.

Is she in danger? Or is she dangerous?

What he uncovers is far more shocking.

Following in her dad's footsteps, Larissa became a cop. But she has a secret. She can sense things before they happen–a curse that torments her.

She meets Roman while out with a friend. He’s intriguing and hot. Maybe a fling is just what she needs.

Until he blindsides her with the truth about her abilities.

And she discovers he’s hiding dark secrets. Is he some kind of monster?

When a formidable foe threatens them, can they move beyond their suspicions? If they can’t find a way to work together, the city they’ve vowed to protect could fall…

Said Best friend, Janie convinces her to go out on the night of the Eclipse of Red Super moon. She gets her to go by telling her she has been practicing dancing and you can’t see her limp when she dances. Roman – Gargoyle Commander Get a weird vibe from Larissa and her friend so he decides to follow them. But there is more to just a vibe but an attraction he can’t explain. Then there is the Dome that was set up just for this night. People can go into it and put on these packs and get to fly. Little do they know who or what erected that dome and the real reason it’s there. The night just keeps getting more interesting. Awesome story with lots of action and adventure. Well written and very entertaining to read.

I found this to be an extremely enjoyable book and an enticing start to this series. With a developed storyline and complex characters, this book quickly pulls you into this world and ensures that you are fully invested in the characters. This is a shifter series that offers a unique flair as the main focus is on gargoyle shifters. The hero and heroine, Roman and Larissa had amazing chemistry and for me I thought they matched perfectly. They had so many things in common but also some big differences, and for me that added a lot of depth and realism to their romance. In addition this PNR offers a solid cast of supporting characters, drama, danger, intense emotions, action, suspense and a bit of heat.
