everything she is dealing with, She finds that Jake, her
lover is not all he seems. Jake has always kept her at arm's
length and withheld his past from her. Determined to help,
she keeps Jake busy and away from her closest friends.
I read DELIVERANCE only to later find out that is was Book 3
of the series. However, I was not lost or confused as one
may feel coming into a series without starting at book one.
It is light on the romance side, but more than makes up for
it in action packed fight scenes.
Dakota Banks has put an interesting spin on this one of a
kind paranormal, action packed series emphasizing on the
action instead of the romance.
A demon's assassin for centuries, Maliha Crayne has gone rogue, determined to save a life for every one she's destroyed in order to free herself from an eternity of enslavement, damnation, and excruciating torment. But as the powers that sustained her in the past fade, she is wary of trusting those closest to her-especially her lover, Jake. Should Maliha listen to her heart or the alarms going off in her head? Then her closest friends begin to disappear, one by one. Amid her anger, suspicion, and sorrow, she feels her life spiraling out of control. Worse still, a beautiful, Renaissance murderess is recruiting Maliha as her new assassin. Maliha is turning into a lethal puppet with an evil Immortal pulling the strings, forced to kill innocents or see her missing friends die horribly. Suddenly trapped in a moral no-man's land, Maliha is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't…and time is rapidly running out.
