Aisling McKay is a Demon Hunter. Ever since the veil between the human world and the supernatural world has been weakening, many creatures have crossed over to live among people; some mean no harm, but others are demons that possess the living or the dead for their own nefarious means. It is Aisling's job to help rescue those being threatened by the supernatural, whether it be possession or other paranormal threat. She makes just enough money to survive with her Mini and her little London apartment.However, the job is a dangerous one, and Ash has a dark secret that has had her moving from place to place for the past six years. As the book begins, Ash starts to see signs that what she has been running from is happening yet again. However, things are complicated this time around. Ash is now a single mom to a 9-month-old baby girl, the product of a night of passion with a former partner - Keiran, a Knight Templar who broke his vows for her. She has a job and a home, and a new Hunter partner named Rafe who would do anything for her, but she's got nothing to fall back on should she run again and leave it all behind - no other means of supporting herself and her daughter. Can Ash protect her loved ones this time around?This book was awesome. The world Anna Elliott has created is scary and dark, yet rich and full of beauty and mythology; and the heroine, Ash is brave, tough as nails, loyal to her friends and loved ones, and an adoring mom to boot. But she's not "Mary Sue" perfect - she has weaknesses and fears and sometimes makes poor decisions. I would love to see her in many more adventures.
