I really enjoyed this novel.Camilla is the kind of healer who removes abnormailities from people's bodies. If you're pregnant, she will instantly kill your offspring because her power cannot tell the difference between a wanted pregnancy and an abnormality. The problem with this is that Camilla really wants a baby of her own and the deep longing comes from having unwittingly killed all of the pregnancies her mother had after she was born. Nanae is a god-like healer who can block Camilla's power and he's very willing to do so because being with her 24 hours a day is exactly what he wants to do. Camilla is his soulmate. Isreal, a DJ seen in the first book of the series, gets Camilla pregnant but once the job is done he doesn't want to go. He's in love with both Camilla and Nanae. Will they have room for him in their lives and what about this brotherhood that's trying to get Nanae's blood - and worse, what about the hunger beast that Nanae himself struggles to control. Will anyone come out of this alive?If you're put off by threesomes, this may not be the novel for you. In actual fact, there's not a lot of male on male contact in this book. The story is more focused on Camilla, her powers, coming to terms with her past and Nanae's hunger beast (gotta say, the last one was just scary). The violent bad guy, in this novel, is more mastermind and more off screen and thinks he's the puppeteer but we know better. I really enjoyed the very different dynamic of this novel.While I may have called Gibson's other novels more romance than erotica, I do think while this has romance elements with the ratio of sex and detail of the encounters I'll have to call this the more erotica genre. I would have liked to have gotten more after the fact dynamic from the parents but I know why we couldn't and I like how Gibson wrapped up their storyline. The characters from the previous novels (with the exception of Maeve's mate) play a much larger role in the storyline collectively than they did in previous books and I like that as lot because it shows us what those characters have been up to since last we saw them. Natalia and her Sinnis are installed and active in the Austin Daughters chapter.This, as with Gibson's other books, was a very compelling and very fast read. I do feel like we're left hanging a bit at the end or perhaps that's my desire to read the next one right now that's telling me that. Always leaving them wanting more seems to be a concept in which Gibson believes strongly. High recommend this read.I was given this book in exchange for an honest review and this one is as honest as it gets. :-D
