Winx's eyes widened as her sentence was read to her. Even knowing she was about to lose the most precious part of her identity, she could not help but question the second part of her punishment. "You want me to kill? For...killing?" This is your penance.She is a demon who has the power of persuasion and uses her gift to seek revenge for her sister's death by having the five humans commit bloody suicide.  Hardly seems fair does it, the punishment does not fit the crime as it was more like justice, an eye for an eye but  Winx was stripped of her wings and forced to leave her home to rid the human world of savages who are zombie like creatures. This is not a book for the faint hearted lots of blood and gore as savages overrun the cities, killing humans as they go. Winx is a snarky kick ass demon or daevor, I liked her instantly and she operated out of a BDSM club called "Skinned", quite apt don't you think.  Hiding out from the Order who imposed the sentence, isolated from her family, Winx is a dancer in the club and is keeping a low profile until Keaton shows up.Keaton Silver is a cryptid and a Bandit who needs her help to save his pack as they are being terrorised by the savages and is trying to enlist Winx to defeat their enemy. In spite of her initial reluctance to help Keaton, after the club is overrun and burned to the ground, they both flee the scene to find his family in Colorado. Along the way Keaton and Winx become friends of a sort and she is slowly warming up to his good looks and sunny disposition.Little did they know that darker forces were at work and someone was hunting for Winx determined to destroy her. Plenty of action in this book and never a dull moment, Winx is constantly injured in battle and yet gets back up to fight and protect others despite her reluctance to help the Order. Genevieve is kind of nave and has that "I am a princess syndrome" down pat which of course she is but even she gets her hands dirty in the end. They will all have to band together if they hope to defeat the evil stalking them and alliances will be forged that will strengthen their pact to rid their world of the savages.I must admit I have not read many zombie books as they don't usually appeal to me but I liked the main character and although there was little romance, the action was ongoing and I would read the next book to see what happened next.
