The Darkest Day, Immortal Heat #1, by Britt BuryGrade: B+"She hated and wanted him all at the same time. He'd tried to kill her only hours ago, and here she was pining after him. She was starting to understand the annoyance emotions brought on."Kelvin Kerr vowed centuries ago that he would do everything that he could to wipe out the Campbell Clan after they murdered his father. Since that day the Campbell Clan of Fionns, beings with magic, and the Pookah Kerr Clan have been at war and Kelvin has almost succeeded at his vow. When Kelvin stumbles across the last heir of the Campbells he is shocked to discover that for the first time ever the new clan chief is a female and his destined mate. Kelvin is torn between his vow and the one woman who can make him feel whole and he must make his decision soon as things are not what they seem.Izel Campbell was whisked away to America as a baby by her grandfather, who is head of the Campbell Clan of Fionns in Scotland, and raised with almost no knowledge of her parents. Izel has traveled back to Scotland at the request of her grandfather and is shocked to discover that she may be the last heir of the Campbell Clan but she is also the last human on Earth. Izle is now forced to rely on Kelvin Kerr, a razorback Pookah, to help her find her clan and keep her safe.This is an amazing start to what I think is going to be a must read paranormal romance story. I just finished The Darkest Day and am dying to get my hands on the second book which I couldn't find any information on. The Darkest Day takes place on Earth but all the humans are extinct and magical creatures roam the lands. I really loved the world that was created in TDD and I can't wait to explore it more. I am especially interested in the Fionns and what a true Fionn can do since it turned out Izel is a human. I also found it very fascinating that being the only human left on Earth was almost considered an honor and many went to great lengths to keep Izel alive.Kelvin and Izel are a great couple and once Kelvin got over being an asshat I really liked both of them. They both have to go through a lot of soul searching to finally realize they are right for each other and it is a great journey. This was my first experience with these new mystical creatures and it was very easy to get a grasp on what type of creatures they are and what types of magical abilities they have. I have a feeling from the set ups that we will see a lot more of the Fionns and the Pookahs falling in love.I really enjoyed this book and I felt like it flew by very quickly. I am a sucker for men with a Scottish accent and then add in the alpha male-paranormal bit and I'm a goner. As I mentioned before I couldn't find any information on the second book in the series but I'm hoping it's Kelvin's brother Ian. No matter whose book comes next I will be sure to read it since I can't wait to dive back into the great world Ms. Bury has created.
