What can I say, Well first off I thought the Author was going to go a certain way with the story but then was surprised with the way he did take it because it ended up as an amazing read. I am a fan of this Author and I have to say his story telling has it's own unique quality he never fails to draw me into the worlds he creates.Two family's at war, Two books both family's want and a history of rituals and immortality. Which side do you stand on ?Marshall finds out very quickly the answer to that question. As a news reporter he digs a little deeper into a murder case as his gut tells him something isn't right. But what he finds changes everything he has ever known.I liked Marshall he has his own demons which does play out as the story goes on and I loved one scene with his sister as it is something we all have wished for at some point in our life's.I also loved that Marshall is surrounded by strong women, two of which are women he works with and it's a case of "you don't really know someone" especially with Ann I giggled at Marshall reaction to seeing her in a different light. Diane his boss has the history of the family's behind her and holds the secrets to what the enemy want and Marshall finds himself helping her out.When he finally gets someone to talk he meets Samantha and Jonah and Jonah has some tale to tell and he does play a big part in this story. I loved loved Samantha not only is there a hint of romance with her and Marshall but in Marshall's own words " she likes cars and motorcycles, she likes comics, science fiction and fantasy, and she's ridiculously good looking."  Later on in the book after finding out some home truth's Samantha kicks some serious ass and I just love the way the Author describes these scenes. I love my fight scenes and for me the way they where written I easily had the images playing in my head.I'm trying not to give to many spoilers away but will say,With the enemy being people who Marshall thought he knew and trusted and finally has to destroy can he do it? And with lies being told who does he believe? Marshall finds his life has changed forever. The end of the book leaves you wanting to know what happens next. And I have my fingers crossed that there is a next book as I got a feeling Marshall, Samantha and Diane's story is far from over.
