Goodreads Link

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden invites readers to a dark paranormal world... 

Vampires exist. So do werewolves. The creatures that you fear in the darkness? They’re all real. And the baddest of the paranormals…those who love to hurt humans…they’re sent to Purgatory, the only paranormal prison in the U.S.

His job is to stop the monsters.

Deadly forces are at work within Purgatory. The monsters are joining together—and their plans have to be stopped. FBI Agent Shane August, a very powerful vampire with a dark past, is sent into the prison on an undercover assignment. His job is to infiltrate the vampire clan, by any means necessary.

She wants to help the prisoners.

Dr. Olivia Maddox wants to find out just why certain paranormals go bad. What pushes some vampires over the edge? Why do some werewolves turn so savage? If she can understand the monsters, then Olivia thinks she can help them. When she gets permission to enter Purgatory, Olivia believes she is being given the research opportunity of a lifetime.

Olivia doesn't realize that she’s walking straight into hell.

To survive, they have to rely on each other.

When the prisoners break loose, there is only one person—one vampire—who can protect her, but as Olivia and Shane fight the enemies that surround them, a dark and dangerous passion stirs to life between the doctor and the vamp. Shane realizes that Olivia is a woman carrying secrets—powerful, sinful secrets. Secrets that a man would kill to possess.

And Olivia realizes that—sometimes—you can’t control the beast inside of you. No matter how hard you try. Some passions can push you to the very limits of your control…and the growing lust that she feels for her vampire…it’s sending her racing right into a deadly storm of desire.

Welcome to Purgatory…a place that’s a real hell on earth…

My Review  4 STARS

**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Createspace for an honest review**

Dr Olivia Maddox has interview lots of psychopaths in her career hoping that she can find out why they do what they do and if she is able to help them in the future.  Now Olivia wants to go to purgatory, a place so dangerous the humans do not know about it.  It is a maximum security prison for the supernatural who have gone bad.  Werewolves and Vampires who kill for the love of it.

Shane is an FBI agent undercover on his way to purgatory as a prisoner to see what is happening on the island that houses the prison.  On the boat ride over is when he first meets Olivia and he knows from the beginning that he is going to have to protect her.

As you would expect, things take a turn that Olivia did not expect and even though she believes at first that Shane is a prisoner, she does not know who else she can trust on the island.  Shane has to blow his cover to protect her.

Off island things get interesting and she learns more of her heritage along that sometimes people are not who you thought they were.  Shane ends up saving her in more ways than one and she makes a big transformation.

Its a fast paced novel based in the modern world, and puts in lots to keep you captivated and certainly takes you along for the ride.
