"In a fight between heaven and hell, can true love survive the fallout?"

Romance Paranormal

Angels are good and demons are evil - at least that's what they would like you to believe. But what would you do if a demon protects you and many other innocent humans, at the expense of himself? When Kyanna finds herself face to face with the most attractive man that she has ever set eyes on, she struggles with the fact that she wants him, because he is a demon. Someone she has been taught to fear. But Xander is different in so many ways, and her instincts are telling her that he is someone she can trust, even with her secrets.

Xander is known as the Slayer, one of the most dangerous of Lucifer's demons. But having been exiled from heaven and abandoning hell, Xander is now one of The Fallen, a group of demons determined to find the four sacred relics, to keep them from those that would abuse them, and to protect as many innocents as possible. Discovering Kyanna, he soon realises that she is a Guardian of one of the relics, and vows to protect her, and it is not long before he wants her more than anything else in this world - even more than he wants redemption. As Kyanna and Xander struggle with their deeply intense connection, heaven and hell intrude on their time together, and as a fight to the death ensues, will Xander survive so that he can protect the only person he has ever truly loved? And as Kyanna's heritage is uncovered, will she ever be able to be with the demon she adores?

THE SLAYER by Brenda Huber is an enthralling read that left me begging for the next instalment. This genre of romance is relatively new to me, but I know hypnotic characters, steamy sexual tension, and a fast paced adventure when I read it, and this novel has it all. I fell for Xander instantly and desperately wanted him to open up and allow emotion back into his life. And Kyanna is exactly the type of woman that he needs - strong, independent,loving and feisty.

With danger, passion, sexy demons that care, and a lot of action, THE SLAYER by Brenda Huber is a new favourite of mine. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of The Seer, which is the next in the series.

SUMMARY

The darker side of his nature just can’t let her go. Chronicles of the Fallen, Book 1 Born of heaven, forged in hellfire and damnation, Xander roams the Earth as an unlikely protector of the innocent. Grudgingly embroiled in a demon uprising, Xander must help his brothers-in-arms recover four Sacred Relics rumored to be Lucifer’s downfall. The stakes are simple. If he fails, a new regime will assume control of the underworld and the boundaries between hell and earth will crumble. If he succeeds, long-awaited salvation could be his. But when a beautiful innocent is caught in the crossfire, the price of redemption could be too steep. Kyanna Hughes is a hereditary Guardian, sworn to protect a sacred Relic at all costs. From the cradle, she was taught to hate all things demon, but her unwanted attraction to Xander turns everything she’s been taught upside down. The danger she faces involves more than her heart. For Kyanna is not only a Guardian, but a Keeper of Secrets so dangerous, that to keep them out of demon hands even the angels in heaven would see her dead… Warning: Contains a demon with a notoriously single-minded determination to save the world, and a sworn enemy for whom he will risk eternal damnation. And so begins the journey of six fallen demons and the women who capture their hearts…
