Caroline is blind but that doesn't stop her from doing whatever she wants to do. Yes, she grew up with well to do parents but that doesn't mean she wants everything handed to her now. She learned how to defend herself from the ghouls, thanks to her brother and now she makes hand woven tapestries. The only thing that could make her life better is if her brother's name was cleared.Rick wants nothing more than to clear his dad's name and he is offered a way to do that but it means getting the scoop on a well known and sought after fugitive. In order to find out more about the man on the run, he'll have to get close to his sister and he doesn't see anything wrong with that until he falls for the woman.With equal parts Paranormal and Urban Fantasy, this story takes you on an adventure into a world where ghouls and mages fight for dominance. Where a blind woman felt the need to learn how to fight paranormal monsters just in case she was even confronted and having a heroine who can kick ass when she needs to, is always a nice change of pace from the shrinking violets who sit in the corner cowering waiting for some man to come to her rescue.The only complaint I have is that this story starts out a bit slow but by the end of the second chapter things pick right up and the storyline flows smoothly until the end.I really liked this story and liked how the interaction between Rick and Caroline was so great. They really clicked and I could totally see these two together. They were just good for each other even though they were total opposites. Sometimes opposites really do attract but because Rick lies to her and she finds out, Caroline puts the brakes on their relationship when she thinks he's betrayed her. Do they get their HEA? What do ghouls smell like when they're killed? Is Caroline's brother still alive? All of these questions and more will be answered but you have to read the book in order to get them.Do you like action, ghouls, mages and a a great love story? Then this might be the book for you.
