Emma is a siren, cursed by Demeter because she failed to
protect Persephone. She works for the FBI searching for
missing people. Emma hopes that one day she will find
enough people to receive redemption from Demeter.
Emma and her partner Zack have been called in for a case
involving three missing girls. They hit dead end after
dead
end in their search until a path leads to Emma's lover,
the
vampire king.
Fighting her feeling for Zack, the man she has been told
by
Demeter to stay away from and the man she is currently
seeing, Emma must focus and find the girls before it is
too
late for them.
I really enjoyed RECKONING by S. J. Harper. S.J. Harper is
a pen name by two authors, Samatha Summersby and Jeanne
Stein, who work together to write the series and they are
a
great team. RECKONING is book two in the series but reads
well as a standalone. This is my introduction to the
series
and I don't plan on missing any more of the books.
RECKONING is a great urban fantasy, loaded with action,
excitement and the ever present love triangle. I have to
say though I am on team Kallistos, but liking Zack at the
same time. Should be exciting to see where they are going
to take this series. I can visualize a perfect ending and
awkward family gatherings after a bunch of good books.
RECKONING is a story all lovers of urban fantasy and good
reading should pick up and devour.
She’s sacrificed. He’s suffered. They’ve both been
betrayed.
Now it’s time for a reckoning.
Special Agent Emma Monroe has a secret.
She’s a Fallen Siren, cursed by the gods and banished to
Earth for her failure to prevent the kidnapping of
Persephone. As an FBI agent she saves the lives of others
believing redemption could be one rescue away.
Her partner Zack is a werewolf and former Black Ops
sniper who once carried out a string of questionable
assignments. Now he’s determined to atone for his past.
Ironically, there’s a portion of his past Zack doesn’t
remember—an affair with Emma. Giving into their attraction
for one another almost led to their undoing. Now it’s back
to business as usual.
While trying to
unravel the mystery behind a series of kidnappings in
Southern California, Emma and Zack become entangled with
political tensions in the vampire and Were worlds. Not to
mention the struggles they face in their relationship with
one another. With so much uncertainty, they come to realize
the only thing they can really count on is one another…or
can they?
