Romance Paranormal

Fire Sybil Camille Fitzgerald is a Sybil with sentient gifts rather than projective powers like most Sybils. Even though all the Sybils in her first group had been killed, Bela, Dio and Andy had sought her out to be in their South Bronx fighting quad. It is the first quad in centuries, as Andy is the only water Sybil in existence. The other three also have strong sentient powers and all four are learning on their own the strengths and weaknesses such gifts impart, regardless of the House Mothers' opinions on the matter. Camille is determined to let nothing happen to her partners this time, no matter what risks she must take, and regardless of her own disturbing senses which are telling her the impossible, that the one man she has ever gotten close to is somehow still alive.

US Special Forces agent John Cole had been dwelling temporarily in his former military buddy and best friend Duncan Sharp after Cole's untimely death. Due to the actions a gorgeous fire Sybil had taken to save Duncan's life, these days he finds himself trapped in the body of one of the Sybils' worst enemies, Strada, the former leader of the Rakshasa tiger demons. He is fighting a delicately balanced battle every day to keep his own consciousness in the ascendant, pushing down the half-dead, half-alive spirit of Strada deeply enough that the evil bastard's essence cannot take him over. Actions John took years ago while under orders were responsible for the Rakshasa being released back into the world. He will continue to fight until all the Rakshasa are dead then kill himself taking what is left of Strada with him. If only he could focus on his task instead of being continually drawn to protect Camille, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen; and the most frustratingly able to put herself into unimaginable danger.

Anna Windsor has penned another winner in this sixth book in the Dark Crescent Sisterhood series. As readers have come to expect, the tale has danger, great fight scenes and passion aplenty as Camille and John overcome the most difficult challenges yet to come together in love.

SUMMARY

She’s definitely getting warmer. Her flame power nearly extinguished in a battle against the dark forces attempting to control Manhattan, fire Sybil Camille Fitzgerald is down but not out. Joining a new squad of warrior witches, she hopes to reclaim her fighting spirit and, with luck, her pyrotechnic mastery. Two problems on that front: a new army of cannibalistic demons and her superheated lust for John Cole, an unholy blend of demon and U.S. Special Forces agent now working undercover for New York’s Occult Crimes Unit.

John knows he can’t be trusted—hell, he can’t trust himself. His warrior soul has entered a new, supernaturally fit body. Unfortunately, it’s a body belonging to the Sybils’ worst enemy, whose supernasty essence still lingers. But when John’s demon energy seems more alive than dead, it’s Camille whose scorching kiss keeps him human—for now. All he’s got to do is master his dark side and save Camille and the Sybils from an army of satanic hellboys planning their ultimate destruction.
