This author's debut novel was a non-stop action, packed thriller right from the first chapter..It's very suspenseful because of the unknown going into the book that just continues to build with intensity all the way to the shocking ending...There are so many twists you get to the point in the book that you feel just like the characters and you don't know who you can trust anymore..You have brutal violence, blood and gore as a behind the scenes war is raging..Great in-depth characterization of all the main players..By the middle of the story you get connected to them as more is revealed slowly surrounding the mystery..The storyline is about "Gatehouse", a covert government operation of concealed assassins or as they call themselves "hunters"..(I love strong the women characters that can play equal to men in this story)..Their well trained to stop evil, Sack assassins around the world that kill innocent lives...The purpose of the "Sack's Organization", is power, greed, money  and world control..The more specific, innocent targets killed they move up the chain of command to want to become a supernatural assassin called the "Embodiments"..Jane Piper joined "Gatehouse" many years ago after seeing her little sister, Emily tortured and killed by a Sack..They always leave their calling card behind..They write their operative code name in the victim's blood for everyone to see..It's like a game to Sacks..More lives, equal more points and more challenging levels..A brutal war and conspiracy that Americans around the world are unaware of but are used in..Someone has infiltrated "Gatehouse" and has the list of hunters, high porters' names which are now targeted for death..Jane and Nathan are on that list..They call other hunters, get their best weapons, list of safe houses and now are on the run for their lives..Who is the real traitor or how many are there..This is the puzzle that must be solved quickly by "All Souls Day" before they become one themselves forever lost..I loved the "forbidden sexual chemistry" between Jane and Nathan.....You have to read it to find out why....This is part one of a series, but is a stand alone book...Not all secrets will be revealed and can't I wait until part 2...I see great potential for this to become a really "hot" thriller series.
