When called away from her latest adventure with the
Righteous, Cin Craven follows the call all the way back to
her family homestead, Glen Gregor. Upon her arrival, she
is reminded of her immortality at the loss of family and
is shocked to find one of her kin has called her home.
A cousin, Claire, has been kidnapped. Claire refused to
hand over an urn given to her by a widower to a man,
Adrian Boucher. Now Cin is called upon to travel to the
America where there is an internal war brewing. So now if
the Righteous can get across the ocean without incident
and cross the blockades, then all they have to do is find
the culprit, get Claire back and return her to England to
her family. Just another day in the life of Cin Craven.
Once in the new world, Cin finds that the battles she must
face are more than just against Adrian Boucher, who has
Claire at his plantation on Devil's Island. Cin has to
face inner demons which threaten her sanity, her
relationship with Michael and the safety of all those
around her.
In the third installment of the Cin Craven series, Jenna
Maclaine brings the adventure across the pond to a warring
America and the obstacles facing Cin are not all
supernatural— a plantation of slaves, the war, black magic
and a captive god. This book was an exhilarating ride in
the 1860's in Georgia.
The relationship between Cin and her husband is a great
balance of romance and adult maturity between two adults.
It was refreshing to not spend a whole book wondering if
they will stay together. They are a strong married couple
that I hope to read about for years to come.
This was the first book I have read by Jenna Maclaine and
felt the book was so well written it could have been a
stand alone. I plan on going out and picking up the
previous two books this weekend.
As the Civil War rages among mortal men, Cin Craven is
locked in an epic battle of her own - fighting the renegade
vampires whose unquenchable appetites she knows all too
well. At her side are the immortal warriors of The Righteous
- among them her husband, her lover, her soul-mate Michael.
With a passion bordering on possession, Cin's love for
Michael knows no bounds. But when a ruthless plantation
owner kidnaps Cin's cousin the most terrifying battle of all
awaits. Cin is drawn to the irresistible lure of dark magic
to stop their enemies, while Michael staunchly opposes it -
putting their love and loyalty to the ultimate test.
