BLURB:

Forgiveness is a hollow prayer you only hear in your dreams.

Patrick Collins has spent years handling cases as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency, even as his secret standing in the preternatural community has changed. He should have confessed to his role as co-leader of the New York City god pack when he and Jonothon de Vere took up the mantle months ago, but he didn’t. Now that split loyalty will cost him at a time when he can least afford it.

Outmaneuvered, framed for murder, and targeted by the Dominion Sect, Patrick has to face a past full of lies to regain his freedom. Revealing the truth means he’ll need to give up the life that has defined him. Everything he’s fought to build with his pack is at stake, and losing them isn’t a price Patrick is willing to pay, but some choices aren’t his to make.

Jono knows they can’t cede any more territory if they want to win the god pack civil war spilling into the streets of New York City. But the souls of werecreatures are free for the taking when demons come to town and angels sing a warning no one can ignore. When Jono’s worst fear comes to life, and he loses the one person he can’t live without, the only option left is to fight.

Facing down the demons of their past and the ones in their present, Patrick and Jono will learn the hard way that some sins never wash away clean.

REVIEW:

I have to tell you, when this series ends, I am going to be curled in the fetal position doing some serious ugly crying. Holy smokes. This series has just gotten better and better with every book. You can’t put it down. The books pull you in and take you on a journey you feel like you are in the middle of. 

I even had a laugh in this one. I’ve been saying poor Patrick needs a vacation with all he’s been going through and now even his own people are telling him that. Lol. And this book didn’t help matters with him any better. This has been one of the hardest they’ve ever had to deal with. Not only are demons coming out of the woodwork as Ethan and the Dominion Sect are sticking their fingers in any pie they can in to, but now everything about Patrick and his life and his ties to Ethan himself are now out in the open. As well as the fact that he is an alpha pack mate. And a lot of people are NOT happy. 

BUT, as always, they stick together. It doesn’t mean they don’t get the crap beat out of them. It doesn’t mean they don’t get kidnapped, or heaven knows what else. But they are pack. They are each other’s family no matter what. And they stick together. No matter how hard it may be. I was so proud to see even more how much Wade keeps growing in these books. He’s becoming one heck of a young man and I have a feeling he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with once he’s fully grown. He almost is already. But I also love how Patrick and Jono have made sure, even in the face of death, that the people they support and that support them, know they have their back. They are so good. They stand firm in being the good leaders they are. 

But man, I wish I could borrow Patrick’s dagger for a while and use it to stab a few beings. Some of them need to be taken down several pegs or just plain dead. And you know it’s gotten serious when a surprise being has shown up. One no one expected and had no idea how to deal with. But thankfully, Patrick and Jono had backup in a way they never expected. And they needed all the help they could get.

This story is going to leave you reeling. New beings are coming forth, the old are stirring up more trouble, the time for the true pack has risen and every god or goddess seems to want a piece of all of them. It’s a mess and a trainwreck (literally) that you bite your nails the whole way through. I have loved every single second of it. If you haven’t read this series, you are missing out on some of the best writing. The plots, the characters and everything about these stories, transforms you into a world like you’ve never seen. And it makes you feel you are a part of the whole thing. I cannot wait for the next one.
