Vampires don’t fall in love. Except I did.Not the best decision of my long life. I definitely cracked an unspoken line, but Ariana trounced me as far as line-crossing went. Very few acts constitute crimes in Vampire circles. Hers was the worst. I fled to the Old Country to buy myself thinking time.I still loved her, but what she’d done was so vile I couldn’t set it aside.The world is a very … aside.
The world is a very different place from when I went into stasis. I woke to wars on every side. Vampires are scarcely strangers to battle. No one’s ever accepted us, but they’ve mostly let us be. It’s different this time. Very different. Mortals won’t rest until they’ve wiped out magic.
Normally, their efforts would be laughable, but they’ve coopted help from mages. Ones they’ve imprisoned and systematically stripped of power until the poor sods would agree to anything in exchange for their freedom—and their magic.
We face huge problems, but I’m tackling them one by one. I’ll return to Ariana’s side, but perhaps only as her comrade-in-arms. Time will tell if we can be more to each other.
Time and circumstances. In a world without magic, Vampires will wither along with every other magic-wielder. I cannot let that happen.

Oh no! I forgot to write my review, but I have a good excuse. I began reading like around 11:30-midnight and was so enthralled by the story that I read until the wee hours of the morning. Didn’t get to sleep till the sky was getting light and when I woke up 3 hrs later I just forgot. The series just keeps getting better and better, which is hard to do since it begins at full throttle. WAR has begun, good versus evil, so we get more thrills, danger, finally groups working together, the main characters working out their problems. WOW, this story is packed with action. You can tell I don’t do spoilers, I try my best to give you my reaction with just a few details here and there. Hopefully, you started at book one so you can get the jest of everything that’s going on. This author never lets me down and she put this series in super drive so I highly recommend this book, no I recommend the entire series, grab it today, and begin reading early so you’re able to get some decent sleep
This is one series that has me drawn once again to the paranormal genre which I had not of late read too much from it. This author has the magic to bring her characters to life with the breath of the words and the fuel used to turn the pages. This also has some excitement and vampires in the mix. Not one emotion is missed in this along with the twists to turn the key. The personal issues in this especially since vampires are not to fall in love grab us to no end. The trio in this weave that web to were in each installment we do not want to leave. Revelations are abound also with that adding foundation. The task force oh my what can you say? This author gave me much pleasure though and this reminded me of my love of paranormal.
Nick is making his way through what Ariana told him and what that means for the future. He makes his way back to the States and the upcoming battle. Things happen rapidly and nothing will ever be the same again. I am looking forward to see where this moves in the next book. There are new allies but also new enemies.
This book starts with Nick in Italy retrieving Clan Giovani’s funds that were seized while he was in stasis. He’s going back to the US to the war brewing between magic users and humans. I love that when he called to let Ariana know he was on his way, Conan went to get him on his own. Awww, Conan is fond of him too. So what if Nick said no and Conan ignored him and took him to Ascent anyway. The Paranormal Task Force is becoming a real problem and the paranormals are taking the fight to the humans now. The Guardians are trying to take over the show and the mystery is why. Another thing I really found intriguing is that after a couple hundred years Conan never used his human form and since this conflict started it’s come in handy several times. When you read these books, you need to set aside time because you won’t want to stop in the middle of a battle. Ariana and Nick are getting back on track with each other during the few minutes they get to themselves. You will not be disappointed or bored with this book. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
This series just keeps making me think outside the box on all paranormal and still pulls on my heart strings. I read it in one sitting, I *needed* to know what was going to happen next. There is a lot happening in book 3 from Ariana and Nick working their way back to each other. More information about Conan and the Guardians. I love the fact that if there is no magic, there will be no humanity left either. We see betrayal, romance, mystery, intrigue. All within Ann Gimpels fantastic Urban Fantasy setting. I have a few authors who rock my world for Urban Fantasy, ok 3 and Ann Gimpel is one. Thank you so much for the arc! I loved this and freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions. I do highly recommend that you read book 1 and 2 first, as they each pickup right where the other leaves off.
This is the third book in this series and I would suggest reading
them in order to get the true effect for the book.
The plot has still got a lot going on that I found I had to read this
book from the first word to the last’s before I could put it down.
Everything seems like its going find until things go wrong.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
