An Old Flame
Cassie Armstrong has plenty to atone for. The daughter of the most immoral researcher ever to pick up a scalpel, she's determined to use her own brilliance in genetics to repair the damage her family has done to the paranormals. Especially Dante, the first of the phoenixes, the one they call the Immortal. He's been haunting her dreams since she was a little girl, and she's been trying to ease his pain for almost as long. If only he remembered any of it. . .
Dante doesn't know what Cassie's story is. He almost doesn't care. The minute he sees her, all he can think is mine. But there's more to the pretty little doctor than meets the eye. And Dante isn't the only one to notice. He can't trust her, but he can't stay away—and if he wants to learn her secrets, he's going to have to fight like hell to keep them both alive. . .
My Review 3.5 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
In some ways i struggled with this book. More often than not the book would suddenly be told from someone else point of view without warning and it was often jarring. I usually love books by this author but this one fall short for me.
This book is full of paranormal antics, government organisations/agents gone rogue and a woman who wants to fix the wrongs that her father created.
Cassie is a scientist on a mission, used as an experiment by her father and now trying her best to fix the damage he has done to humans and paranormals in the world the only way that she know how. Dante, a man she first met when she was only eight has always played a part in her life. She finds him in a cage and tries to free him, however she is caught by her father and her life progresses from there.
Fast forward until she is a woman and Cassie is chasing Dante, believing that he is the cure that she needs to complete her work. Being a phoenix however can cause problems, especially as he does not remember her her time and time again when he rises from the ashes.
So much happens in this book, so many chases, so many near missing, love, revenge, death, intentional hurting. You almost have to take a breath when the book is finished.
The story itself was good, but i think it would have been better if the book had only been told from two point of view, Cassie and Dante.
