The Evil One has escaped. After millinia in captivity he has been forgotten and no longer guarded as he once was. He has plotted his revenge from the first day of his confinement and he intends to make humankind pay for their transgressions against him. Now that he is free he will take care of a little business having to do with a couple of things he needs to protect himself from and then he will be master of the earth. But even for one so evil there is always the occasional obstacle in his path.Lana Summers is grieving the loss of her mother to the unthinkable. The coroner says it's suicide but Lana can't believe her warm, open and happy mother would do such a thing. But Lana also knows there can be a dark side to the gift she shares with her late mother. A gift she doesn't want and refuses to acknowledge even when the gift saves her life when her home is broken into.Cole is a Private Investigator with his own gifts and secrets. Stopping at a connivance store for a pack of gum he gets more than he bargained for in the form of a beautiful damsel in distress. He can't resist coming to her rescue.Together Lana and Cole must battle the evil that is about to unleash its wrath on the people of the earth. They alone must find the key that unlocks the mystery of who the evil is and how to destroy it. The problem is they don't know they are supposed to be looking for it. Instead they are busy falling in love.This was one of the most fun paranormal romances I have read lately. The characters were full and rich, the dialogue was snappy and crisp and the plot had enough twists and new idea's in it to be interesting. I was turning the pages very quickly on this one. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next and what mischief the Evil One was going to get up to next.Karen Bryant Doering
