This M/M Paranormal Thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning pages. This is Susan’s first Paranormal Thriller book and as we Americans say “She has hit this one out of the Park.” I’m a HUGE fan of this Author and as she releases each of her books I already have the pedestal for her set pretty high. She did not disappoint me again and actually surpassed my expectations. A Brilliant Job Susan.This book has 3 Main Characters and 2 of the Characters share the same body. What? you say. Here is the creativity that Susan’s entwines into this story.  Quinn Fairmont is a Contemporay Warlock, at a young age  the warlock takes a Withinner, in essence this is another sorcerer that will share the body and thoughts of the contemporary warlock.  Quinn’s Withinner is Taliesen a very powerful Welsh sorcerer.  Quinn and Cade meet up in the forest one day and they both feel a spiritual pull to the other.  Cade is a pretty knowing guy, but he has no idea what he is getting himself into with Quinn.Susan has a way of building a world with her words that make it so easy to see in my head the scenes and locations that this book takes us.  Cade lives on one of those flat houseboats that are popular in the UK and Quinn lives in a mansion.  I can picture the boat and feel the water lapping at the hull just the same as I can see the immense surroundings of Quinn’s home, I almost can hear the voices resonate through the halls.  Susan does the same thing with her character descriptions, she makes me want to run my hands through the hair on Quinn’s chest and caress the smoothness that is Cade.  This is the reason that Susan is one of my favorite Authors, she can take me as the reader and drop me into a story that lets me believe what I am reading.This is a Love story in a true form and what these 2+ characters will go through to protect what they are in charge of and what they hold most dear.  This comes into play with so many plot twists and adventures.  I found myself asking if Quinn and Cade were ever going to catch a break where they can just stay in bed for 24 hours and explore each other, I wanted it so bad for them.  The story has Witch hunters that live to destroy the witches and warlocks even in this contemporary setting.  There is also an evil force from Quinn’s past that is hellbent on the destruction of Quinn and the containment of Taliesen.  Love plays an extremely important role in this book, it is the love between Quinn and Cade that makes the fight in each other stronger.  Remember the 3rd character?  He plays an important part in this adventure, you hate and love him at the same time.  He’s a precocious guy.How Susan can come up with all of the different aspects of this story still boggles my mind.  For instance Quinn can summon Taliesen and have him appear in today’s time which sends Quinn back to where Taliesen came from.  This comes in handy because then Taliesen can teleport them to a different place almost instantly, then when they arrive they switch back to their original times.  I think this is brilliant story telling.  Can you tell I really liked this book?  It feels like I am rambling and that is a good sign, I just want to tell you so much,  I just can’t without popping any spoilers.  The things that I have just told you happen very early on in the book.The only thing that we haven’t really talked is Cade, again not much of a spoiler, he is a Water Sprite.  Earlier I told you about a pull, this is like a mating call between Quinn and Cade.  Here ‘s the twist the Fae blood that courses through Cade amplifies the passion by multiples.  Quinn understands this but Cade does not.  Cade certainly does not understand why he is so turned on over someone that he barely spent but a few moments with.  This sexual frustration was  a bit comical.  This book is part 1 in a 2 part series.  Although Part 1 doesn’t answer all of the questions that come up, it does leave  you with closure for this story.
