Any one who is a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon The DARK-HUNTER Series will recognize many similarities in this story to the HUNTERS.  Example:  Squire to her Chosen, The Sanctuary to her Roxies and there's a lot things happening in the city of New Orleans.The story starts out in the heat of the Demonic war with the Demon Drayos.  He has caused a curse over the mates of the Guardians and other immortals leaving Marcus without a mate.  Flash forward to modern day, the gods decides it time for Marcus to mate again.  He's not happy, but he relents he when sees her.  He almost immediately he goes into "must have and protect" mode.I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I knew of the DH influences but the story is all Valerie Twombly.  She take us on a journey from realm to realm, to Romania, a brief stay in Egypt and of course, hell. (That's both literal and emotional hell.)There are times in the book were characters- not sure how to describe it except to say they speak as in times pasted, overly polite.  I can't imagine a homeless men in New Orleans saying, "Thank you kind sir.  I'd be much obliged."  Not that the homeless can't be courteous, it just didn't feel right to me.  I can see the Guardians having that type of dialect considering their age, but everyone else?  Jill was cool and maybe Cassie had to do with nerves- being around Marcus and the others.Oh, the others.  Between Baal's flirty sense of humor and Seth and his memory problems, I'm so looking forward to seeing how they all get their own HEA.
