BLURB:
Fletcher Lane wants to protect people. It was why he became a deputy. A month ago, it was why he killed a vampire who kidnapped one of his friends. Now, that death has started a cascade effect that’s tearing his life apart, leaving him possessed by magic that whispers to him in ancient Gothic.
While he’s already fighting for control of his own mind, he has to hold it together when strangers come into town looking for the dead vampire. They say they’re bounty hunters, but Fletcher knows that’s a lie. They’re the same kind of murderers who killed Fletcher’s mother. When one of them puts up a kind front, Fletcher knows that people who hunt the supernatural can’t be trusted. However nice Conner Mason seems, the worst thing Fletcher could do is fall for his act.
This novel is intended for adult audiences, and contains swearing and sex.
This is the third of nine books in The Rowan Harbor Cycle, not a standalone. It continues where the second book left off. Fletcher and Conner will return in book six to continue their story, so this book contains a HFN, not their HEA.
REVIEW:
Can I just say how happy I was to get to review this installment in the series? Another reviewer has been reviewing the series but because of RL events, he gave this one up. I’ve been reading the series since the first book popped up on my recommended line at Amazon and I’ve loved all three.
In this latest installment our story turns to Fletcher, the unassuming nice cop that offsets Wade’s by the rules cop. We had heard of Fletcher tragic past previously, but now we delve into it fully when three ‘hunters’ show up in town looking for that vampire that Fletcher killed in the previous installment. To make it worse, one of them is the very same man who locked the RV door and burned Fletcher mother alive all those years ago.
I really enjoyed getting to know Fletcher and his new love interest. No spoilers there though. The only thing that made me kind of sad was what happened to the boy in the book. I had so hoped for a different outcome.
I truly enjoy this writer. Her stories flow well and are well written and edited. I will definitely be following along on the other books planned for the series
I highly recommend the book, but you must read them in order, so if you haven’t gotten started now is a good time. I’ve been reading them with my Kindle Unlimited account. Either way, pick them up. I’m sure you won’t be sorry.
