My Review:I'll be honest, I'd forgotten just how good this series was between reading the first book and this one, but OMG...I LOVE this Urban Fantasy series! This one worked even more for me because there were some smexy times in it...something that UF usually lacks, especially this early on in the series, and I loved how things progressed in this one.Sensors are human, but have the ability to pinpoint other supernatural beings, what exactly they are, as well as their age and strength. They've been used in the past to hunt down supernaturals and were systematically exterminated as a result. As a sensor, Melena is widely hated by supernaturals although she's only used her senses to help the sups. Even though the majority of them hate her, Lucas, a nephilim, and Nik, a master vampire for the area, insist she stay in Fairbanks, a place that she hates because of the cold. But she's also taken charge of Emily, a 16 yo sensor, so that helps to keep her here too.In this book, the supernaturals need her help because there's been an influx of demons in Juneau. The last time this happened, 3000 years ago, it was a sensor who was able to eradicate them. Melena is working to figure out exactly how that works since she's pretty much untrained in the skills she has. To further complicate the matter, there is a group of other five sensors in the area who are supposedly there to do the same, but they believe in the old ways....that ALL sups should be exposed and exterminated.It's hard to talk details about this book because I don't want to give away spoilers.I don't want to give anything away, but I love the way that Melena and Lucas's relationship evolved in this one. They've always hated each other, but as they spend more and more time together, they are realizing that they may have made too quick of assumptions about the other person and misjudged them. I like the twists that this book provided for them, making them face up to some emotions that neither one would willingly admit were there between them. It will be interesting to see how all that plays out in the future.The author in this book writes a tight book. Don't let the fact that it is indie published scare you at all because this is easily one of the best Urban Fantasy series being written right now. It's creative and the characters definitely come to life. I finished the book late last night and then dreamed about it all night. Such a good book.Warning: there is a cliffhanger to the ending. It's not a painful, 'I want to hurt the author' kind of cliffhanger, but it's definitely enough that I am counting the days to the next release, Chained by Darkness, which is supposed to be told from Lucas's pov. I cannot wait!My recommendation....you need to start reading this series NOW!!!
