My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this for an honest review~

The multifaceted world Mason and Cari live in is much like the world today. Just add a touch of Shadow magic, angels, mages, wraiths and you almost have it. Mason Stray is facing the most difficult decision of his life; with a plague killing off magekind can he leave his son to find the cause, knowing that Fletcher (his son) doesn’t stand a chance without a warded house to protect him. Mason and Cari have history, he was the “Ungettable get” “The one that got away” in their youth. Cari now the “Dolan”, mage royalty in her own right and Mason is just considered a “Stray” unclaimed and basically lesser to magekind, you can imagine what a union between them could unravel. With chaos and death at every turn, this is the perfect opportunity to see what they could become! Now both working together to face the maker of this terrible epidemic, will they prevail or will the world as they know it be cloaked in darkness?

" He initiated a conversation in an old language she didn't know, but in spite of the thumping of her heart, found she could understand perfectly. His mouth said, I want you. I need you. I'm hungry for you. And she responded by wrapping an arm around his neck and repeating the words right back in her own feminine dialect"

Cari’s so complex in her struggle: Can she keep her royal house together? Will she make her late father proud? Will Maeve aka Mad Mab surface and claim all the pretty things for herself? Damn being a woman is hard enough, but tack on these issues and the woman can’t help but erupt.

" Maeve pushed the girls chin up with her thumb. Her head still lolled a bit to the side. "She is broken."Ally. Hmm. Do we shed tears of happiness, or do we weep?"

Mason Stray though he had love once, but it turned against him and now his son. Both cast side by Liv aka baby mama, is he more than what she and everyone else thinks or just another Stray? God I love an underdog! Battling not only the dark forces but also everyone’s lesser opinions!! Provem’-wrong-kinda-attitude!!!

This was one of the best paranormal series I have read. The romance doesn’t overshadow the action; it just builds up and then erupts. So carefully written is this other world humans mingle in, so many angles this series can sprout. I started this book and 6 hrs later I am itching to get my hands on another book by Erin Kellison. She has a flair for keeping it simple and yet complex. You don’t get lost in translation with this new world of hers you blend right in. So easy to follow and let yourself get completely engrossed. If you like Epic Paranormal reads this is a series to add to your MUST HAVE LIST!
