BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Years ago he ended things between them to protect her…

As leader of one of the fiercest werewolf packs in the south, Finn Stavros is in full battle mode 24/7. He has no choice—he’s one of the few beings strong enough to fight the Akkadian demons, whose mysterious escape from hell threatens the entire world. With the battle turning bloodier by the second, Finn is ready for anything…until his vampire long lost love shows up on his doorstep in desperate need of his help, sending his heart into a tailspin. He agrees to help her, unaware that she carries a shocking secret that will turn his life upside down.

This time, he’s not letting her go…

Vampire Lyra Marius curses the day she met Finn. The ruthless werewolf promised to love her forever, but he rejected her instead—before she could share her life altering news. Pregnant, kicked out of her coven, and cast aside by the love of her life, Lyra struggled to raise their rare shifter-vampire daughter Vega alone among humans. When the 16-year-old is kidnapped and used to fulfill a frightening prophecy, Lyra swallows her pride and turns to Finn for help. But how long can she fight her feelings for him and keep him from guessing the truth about who Vega really is? As they race against the clock to save their daughter, they must defeat the lethal threat imposed by demons infiltrating the human world and a hell gate that could not only reveal their existence to mankind, but destroy the world in the process.

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts After a very short romance Finn & Lyra were forced to go separate ways. Not really forced by Finn tried to do the right thing in order to protect Lyra. But after 17 years a day has not gone by that Finn has not regretted his decision. But when Lyra shows up unannounced asking for his help. Finn plans move to heaven and hell in order to help her and find her daughter.

Lyra has always loved Finn and will until the day she dies, even if he caused her so much hurt 17 years ago. But asking for his help knowing the secret she is keeping from him is to much. If she can just find her daughter then maybe they can sit down and talk everything through. But Vega’s safety is the most important thing right now.

I enjoyed this story. I can’t say that I was totally in love with it until about 3/4 of the way through. The last 1/4 of the book is really good and I am looking forward to learn more about Drake.
