This is the fourth book in "The Maker's Song" series. The main character is a human female named Heather who has bonded to a half vampire, half fallen angel named Dante. The plot is centered around Dante's struggle with his things from his past coming back to haunt him as well as the different groups in the magical community pulling him in multiple directions. He also has to deal with his own mind betraying him as he was, perhaps irrevocably, tortured while growing up as part of a covert assassination group.

Opinion: 

Overall, the book had a good plot the keep the reader attentive wanting to know what was going to happen next. The author's use of multiple points of view allows the reader to really get into the different character's skin and to experience what they are experiencing. The book combines both the idea of vampires and fallen angels together to create a hidden world that coexists with the world as we know it. This gives the book depth and frees both the author and reader to use their imaginations. The frequent sex scenes however, were a definite turnoff and readers should exercise caution according to their own standards and moral values.
