Magic is power in the new world order, but all my coveted ability has ever gotten me is doing someone else’s dirty work. I’ve busted my ass to become a valuable asset to the privileged supernaturals who rule this brutal world, and build a life I love.
Until an arrogant, sanctimonious jerk saunters through a portal and ruins everything.
Zey is something my world has never seen and he’s on a mission. Three magical items from his world have gone missing and I’m the only one who can find them.
But this distractingly sexy stranger isn’t the only one after them. A bunch of baddies are hunting him, and now me too.
To say that this mess has me feeling stabby would be an understatement. Just my luck that Zey and his buddies seem to be impervious to sharp, pointy things.
I just hope I can find a way out of this deadly situation before I fall for the mysterious supernatural who’s put my life at risk.

I can’t believe we’re already on the 5th instalment of this series, what a ride!!
A new portal opened up, and a new species was discovered. Oh my!
We start in Melbourne and move pretty much across the whole world. Mainly because of that, it was super important to know where we were… and the author did a great job! The scenes and environments were very detailed and precise! Very well written!
We’ve seen some of Sky in “Haunt me”, so it was nice to have some reference 🙂 She is an awesome person, and I liked her from the get-go 😀 Her talent is seeking whatever the client wants found (if possible, of course), and she knows how to wield her weapons. She can kick ass with the best of them but also has a pretty good head on her shoulders. Coupled with a great sense of humour… yeah… I’m a fan.
Zey (yeah, I’m not going to write down his full actual name, good luck pronouncing that, by the way) is a Vuulelectian, a shapechanger. He can change into males, females, angels, demons; you name it.
While he gets the hang of being on earth pretty quick, things like sarcasm are alien to him, which in turn provides us with a good time 😀
For some reason, though, don’t ask me why cause I don’t know, as he started the book as a woman, I had a hard time getting past that 🙁 I put the book down for a little while before returning to it.
There is a really nice flow to the book. A lot happens, and there is pretty much always something going on. A lot of action! Though it never feels too much or too rushed.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book, and all in all, once I got over Zey’s gender confusion, I could get into the story and enjoy the tense and action-packed ride 🙂
