Jennifer Shea has crafted a unique, exciting and fascinating tale of urban fantasy romance. The drama and suspense starts in the first pages and never lets up. You can't put the book down as you feel like you are going to miss what happens next.Daria Mathews, a career-driven attorney, is looking for a husband, but ends up in a fight for her life. You see, she is special and it seems all the powers of the universe want her; want to kill her or drink her blood or eat her body for the power that they will then obtain. If not for her protector, Jason, she could not live past the birthday when she receives her powers.Jason, for all his powers, must work carefully so he will not become like his father. At least that is his stated reason for not killing to protect his love 500 years ago. With Daria, he now wrestles with his conscious, his past, and his desires for her. A hero who has flaws but is aware of them and trying to improve.While there are a few slow places that make you wonder why they are present, overall the story keeps your interest, with the reader wondering who else, literally, will come out of the air. Daria at times seems to be a little preoccupied with her career when she should be more worried about living. The ending has that unique twist the reader is not expecting and provides a thought provoking twist on the world of religion and evil.
