Heather Killough-Walden can tell a story. So talented...I can't wait to see what she does next!Ok, let's talk about these characters. Thanatos, King of the Phantoms,he tender and kind and dare I say it, a bit sensitive? Yes. Don't get me wrong, he's six and a half feet of high strung, rippling raw muscle who could easily rip you limb from limb without so much as flexing his pinky but he's still a really good guy. He's always there to help his friends. Not at all what I was expecting to find in Purgatory! Siobhan is a warlock who should be all kinds of bad but has battled her inner demons to remain true to her good nature. The attraction is immediate, because, no fighting it, it's just meant to be.There are several things I love about this story. First off, all of this strong, immortal, indestructible, powerful Alpha man is destined to find a woman who is more powerful than he ever imagined. That is girl power! Don't let the name of this series throw you, it may be called The Kings but The Queens and their powers are really the story here. The second thing about this book that I absolutely love is the different points of view. I especially love it when an author gives both sides of the same story - I mean Thane and Siobhan are the main characters, so we should get to see/hear/feel what they are thinking when they finally meet each other.Bottom line...the action is fast, the drama is intense, the bad guys are ruthless, the twists are...well, still twisting and the world building is incredible. So many details, so many nuances and yet not one second of reader confusion. HKW does a great job explaining the back story without distracting from the story at hand. And I love her teasing epilogues...who is that clever little ginger cat?!!?
