“Oh, Naasir. So weird, so bloodthirsty, so unique and wonderful…I have fallen for him…”—Fiction Vixen
Naasir is the most feral of the powerful group of vampires and angels known as the Seven, his loyalty pledged to the Archangel Raphael. When rumors surface of a plot to murder the former Archangel of Persia, now lost in the Sleep of the Ancients, Naasir is dispatched to find him. For only he possesses the tracking skills required—those more common to predatory animals than to man.
Enlisted to accompany Naasir, Andromeda, a young angelic scholar with dangerous secrets, is fascinated by his nature—at once playful and brilliant, sensual and brutal. As they race to find the Sleeping archangel before it’s too late, Naasir will force her to question all she knows…and tempt her to walk into the magnificent, feral darkness of his world. But first they must survive an enemy vicious enough to shatter the greatest taboo of the angelic race and plunge the world into a screaming nightmare…
My Review 5 STARS
I loved Nassir in the previous book and I completely fell in love with him in this book. He is a complete character, but has an honest childlike quality to him which draws you in further. I really do hope to see more of him in future books.
Andromeda is a scholar who led her ruthless father and parents that had not fostered a close relationship with her. Andi is kidnapped by Lijiun for the information that she knows about the sleeping ancients, especially one called Alexander about whom there is a prophecy, however after meeting Andi before she is kidnapped, Nassir believes that she is the mate that he has been searching for.
With Andi having made a vow of celibacy until a certain grimoire is found, Nassir plays by the rules and the pair get ever closer, especially after Nassir gets Andi out of her prison.
It this edition we get more romance, war, a continuation of the long running story, new characters, more depth to other characters, a little more of Raphael and his spymaster Jason and Elena. The main story focuses on Nassir and Andromeda and their two tasks, find Alexander and wake him and find the Grimoire.
As always I cannot wait for the next instalment of this series and love that I do not have to wait after having taken so long to read the rest of this series.
