Romance Paranormal
Ria, is the Nyx, queen of the pantera noir, and being on
the run may be a way of life, but she is getting tired of
running. She wants a home and a family, but most of all
she
wants someone who will love her. She wonders what it will
take to climb JACOB'S LADDER, as he is the only man to
awaken her very soul. Though his cryptic words at his
sisters wedding left her wondering just how sane he might
be.
Jake has been blessed with the ability as a seer, but
there
have been many times it has not been such a good thing.
There were times when he didn't have enough time to warn
of
danger as he would have wanted to do. The only visions of
late that he has enjoyed are the ones that concern Ria. He
knows she is his destined mate, but she is also the queen
of her people. And he's human ... not a panther not a
shifter
of any kind. Finally he had a vision that he was able to
act on ... Ria was in danger and he would be in time.
The Venifucus is after her, one of them wants to
pervert her hereditary power for evil purposes. The time
has now come to turn and confront not only the bad guys
but
her future. If she survives to have one that is.
JACOB'S LADDER starts out on a wild run and you will have
no choice but to hold on as each word takes you with this
amazing couple. The action in this book is nonstop... it
starts off on the first page and doesn't end until the
last
one. Readers of Bianca D'Arc's String of Fate books
will
recognize Jacob and Ria and a few other characters, and of
course including some Venifucus crazies to round out the
story. But in all, for me, it is a love story.
This is a couple who in my opinion are perfect for each
other, deserves the happiness they find with each other.
Ria's life has been chaotic with her never being able to
settle in one place for long. It felt as if she had almost
given up hope that she will someday live the life she was
meant to live.
It intrigued me that Jacob knows how to handle himself;
give him a gun, knife or a situation then he can lead, but
had that touch of self-doubt that he might not be good
enough for her. I loved the backbone that Ria showed
right
away in claiming her mate ... she wasn't going to put up
with
any disrespect. I was glad to see Ms. D'Arc give Ria a
strong understanding mate and a future after so many years
of being on the run. As with all books from this author
JACOB'S LADDER goes on my TBR shelf and I can't wait for
the next.
SUMMARY
A man on a mission… Jake can see the future and there’s a special woman on his
mind. She needs his help and he’s just the man to help
when
danger stalks her every step. A woman with responsibilities… For Ria, being the Nyx—the leader of her people—comes with
burdens that few can understand. Her special abilities
make

hopes

purposes. She’s lived her life on the run, but the time
has
come to turn and confront the bad guys on her trail. Can they stop the Venifucus from using the ancient power
of

they must stop it, before it’s too late.
