I received a copy of Devoured from the author in exchange for an honest review of the book.CAUTION: this is an EROTIC paranormal romance, with steamy sex scenes with a hot alien male with an "other" side.Also, be aware that this book contains graphic scenes that might be difficult for women who are going though, or who have survived domestic abuse.I am absolutely in love with Ms. Anderson's books, anything she writes is going to be burning up your Kindle, but my favorite topic she writes, hands down, are the Kindred Bride series. Novels with a storyline that can range from heartbreaking to smoldering. Ms. Anderson's characters with have your heart opening, crying, laughing, and connecting with them on a level that will leave you missing the people once the book is over.If you read the last Kindred book, "Divided", you would have already met Garron, who is the half-brother to Truth. They both grew up on the planet Pax. On this planet, the icy climates exist in the hearts of the inhabitants, no love, no emotions, no physical contact. Garron has an "other", a dr'gin, living inside him. His dr-gin has yet to manifest itself, but with every day that draws his birthday closer, he can feel the other side of himself growing stronger, demanding to be let out. However, if Garron lets it out, the creature will kill and devour the first human that it comes in contact with. Which considering he's protecting a human female at the moment, could very well be her.Tess is a strong woman, a true survivor. Her husband, Pierce, one of Tampa's most outstanding detectives, is a horrid man and a completely different side to him that he reserves only for Tess.... one of a sadistic nature. After Tess finally moves out, Pierce just wont accept that its over. He's bound and determined to track Tess down, through this galaxy and the next.It was very hard at times to read this book being a survivor of domestic abuse myself, the descriptiveness in which Ms. Anderson writes, will make you feel like you're going through the abuse with Tess. Which just made me root for her happy ending that much more. It's going to be a long hard ride for these two, both survivors of different kinds of abuse, plus trying to keep Tess safe from the dr'gin is going to be a struggle for both Tess and Garron.I'm aware that this is a series, and I'm aware that people don't read this is in order. If you're one of those people, PLEASE read it in order. No, you won't get lost without having read the previous books, you'll get the gist of what's going on for the most part, but you cannot really appreciate the characters without having met them in previous books. Do yourself a huge favor and pick up this series, and anything else that has "Evangeline Anderson" has the author. An my honor as a book reviewer, you wont regret it.
