When supernatural beings commit crimes, humans don't
understand it. These are the crimes scenes where cops
stand over a body puzzled thinking it's some kind of
ritualistic killing, but in reality it's a vampire,
werewolf, or other being who is the culprit.
The PEC aka The Preternatural Enforcement Coalition is an
organization that prosecutes supernatural offenders. They
step in to solve these heinous crimes but they also protect
their kind from being discovered by humans.
A quick mind swipe is what is needed so the human police
don't find out about supernaturals and try to kill them.
The PEC keeps humans and their kind safe so they can both
live side by side without anyone being harmed.
Agent Ryan Doyle is a percipient paradaemon who works for
the PEC solving cases. After someone dies, Doyle can see
the deceased person's last thoughts and images to help
solve their murders by simply placing his hand on them.
Doyle's latest case is of a werewolf named Jordan who was
murdered. While nearing death he dragged himself into a
vampire club and begged them to get the percipient aka
Doyle. Jordan left images in his mind for Doyle to solve
the case.
A group of humans which is quickly multiplying into a small
army is hunting the supernaturals and has a plan to
eradicate the world of them. A reporter named Andy learns
about this army through her cousin who is joining them.
She decides to go undercover to get a scoop for a story.
Agent Doyle is also going undercover but for the PEC. He
must pretend he is human and join this group of misfits on
their search to kill his own people. Will Andy and Doyle's
undercover operations be discovered? Will Doyle be able to
hide that he is a paradaemon from this army of killers?
WHEN TEMPTATION BURNS is the sixth installment in the
Shadow Keeper's Series which are standalone stories
featuring the agents from the PEC organization. There are
brutal scenes of violence but the storyline is so intense
and exciting that I merely winced and kept frantically
reading to find out what would happen next.
WHEN TEMPTATION BURNS is the best Shadow Keeper's
book to
date. Extremely suspenseful action, lots of supernatural
magic, sizzling romance, and good writing make this
book my favorite by J.K. Beck. I gasped, I oooed, I ahhhed,
I jumped, I read pages aloud to my boyfriend!
I couldn't stop talking about WHEN TEMPTATION BURNS and how
much I was enjoying it. The action scenes are so vivid
that I could definitely see this book being turned into a
movie.
Overall, WHEN TEMPTATION BURNS is an intense, roller
coaster ride of excitement from beginning to end. RUN and
get this book. I promise you won't regret it!
SUMMARY
Half human, half daemon, Ryan Doyle is a driving force for
justice. As an agent for the Preternatural Enforcement
Coalition, he’s investigating murders linked to a Los
Angeles fringe group bent on exposing the shadow world to
humanity. He is a master of self-control, keeping his
deepest hungers hidden beneath a veneer of cool
professionalism. Until he crosses paths with sinfully sweet
Andy Tarrent, a gutsy reporter who makes him crave all the
pleasures he’s denied himself for centuries.
Tracking a band of conspiracy theorists eager to spill
blood, Andy has uncovered the story of her career. Brooding,
mysterious Ryan is an enigma—but their dance of seduction is
hotter than any fantasy. As they race to stop mass murder on
the streets, Andy knows that Ryan is holding back, keeping
secrets. But getting close to Ryan means opening the door to
a world that will challenge her deepest beliefs—including
what it means to truly surrender to love.
