Romance Paranormal

As the first book in a new, spin-off based from her Alien Huntress series called the Otherworld Assassin series, premier paranormal romance author, Gena Showalter presents LAST KISS GOODNIGHT. This book explores a twisted zoo where its owner, Jecis enslaves otherworlders and uses them as the main attraction, keeping his daughter, Vika responsible for "caring" for them.

Vika is a timid spirit, broken down by her father's continued abuse. She desperately wishes to free the captive otherworlders and escape the zoo herself, but she is afraid of being caught and suffering from her father's ministrations once again.

Now, Jecis has found Soloman Judah, a Black Ops agent and has caged him as one of the zoo's newest attraction. Vika is unnaturally drawn to Solo and although she cannot free him, she decides to secretly care for him instead, hoping that keeping him alive is enough. Soon, Solo and Vika develop feeling for one another and their romance is a slow- burning, sensual thrill-ride will show readers that Showalter is able to deliver a variety of gripping love stories.

Reading about Vika's abuse was hard. She endures so much and adding the fact that she is deaf only causes my heart to ache more with hurt. However, as the story progresses, Showalter nicely displays Solo's protectiveness in a way that eases me as a reader, knowing that someone is there to protect her. But what is interesting is that despite Vika being a victim of abuse, she also displays so much strength and desires to protect Solo in return as well.

LAST KISS GOODNIGHT is a searingly sweet romance that shows how a forbidden romance can turn into the one sole reason to live.
