Being a Woodward is hard… but loving a Woodward is even harder!AthenaAs the self-appointed protectors against supernatural evils, the lives of Woodward witches are fraught with danger. Each generation of witches has faced down their share of monsters, and Athena and her identical twin, Minerva, are no different. Wielding the elements of wind and fire, Athena is a volatile powerhouse who doesn’t … is a volatile powerhouse who doesn’t know the meaning of the word quit. She takes her duties as both a witch and elder sister to her twin very seriously, and it is only within the protective circle of Theodrik’s arms that Athena truly allows herself to be vulnerable.
Theodrik
Having been transported across the Veil from the land of Cadarnle for the sole purpose of being Athena’s Guardian and lover, Theodrik y Draig lives to protect his beloved.
His role as a Guardian only enhances his naturally protective instincts, and as dragon shifter, and he fights tooth, claw, and wing to keep his beloved Athena safe.
Now, an ancient evil has awakened after being sealed away for over three hundred years, and it is out for blood as it stalks the forests. As the body count continues to climb, Athena and her family must race against time to stop the foul creature from gaining a foothold and drowning the surrounding countryside in blood.
Can the bond between the witch and the dragon overcome primal evil?

Athena / Theo & Minerva / Sam make a great action packed team of magic fighting warriors. They also have quite a crew of backup supernatural soldiers to call on as needed in their ongoing fight against evil powers. I did have a bit of a slow start to the story & it took some time to get involved in the story line. I feel a prequel to this story would have been beneficial to this series in setting up the back story for the main characters of this series. Once the main action started I was drawn into the story quickly and it kept my attention to the end of the book. A wonderful blend of magic, action, romance, suspense & hot sexy times to keep the reader well engaged in wanting to turn the pages to find out what would happen next.

Have you read AJ Ryder’s books? If so, you know the worlds and characters in them are so relatable you’ll feel like you know them personally. If not, you’re in for a real treat. Athena and Theodrik have been fated mates going on ten years, same as her twin Minerva and her fated mate Samaiyel. It has always been decided the Woodward’s are who protect their area, and the supernatural beings, from the evil in this world. But when an evil comes that begins killing so savagely, do they have the skills? Follow AJ Ryder through her world on a spine chilling adventure where her characters will show you determination, loyalty, love and devotion while fighting off greed, hatred, fear and evil. Of course you get your HEA, but trust me when I say, it is well deserved by the time it arrives. Congratulations on an outstanding book and the beginning of an epic series!
