Loup and Pilar have escaped military custody and are ready to start anew. Their pasts earn them jobs as bodyguards for a British rock band, but their pasts may also come back to haunt them if they are not careful. When things start to heat up in their new home of Outpost 12, they must decide whether to expose themselves and help the people living there or continue to hide and perhaps save themselves.

Loup and Pilar are both great female characters. They are strong, determined, passionate, and enigmatic. The reader will connect with them easily and enjoy their presence in the book throughout the novel. The love scenes could have used a little more oomph, but the reader can tell Loup and Pilar truly love each other.

The events in the first half of the book dragged a little, but the second half made up for it with far more action, mystery, drama, and intrigue. The ending was satisfying, easy enough to put this book down and feel like one's time was well-spent. A mystery with some action and hints of romance, fans of Jacqueline Carey will enjoy SAINTS ASTRAY.
