Zoey Daniels has been tossed from foster home to foster home, where she grows up fast and tough. When she is placed in her "last chance" home, she finds a reason to stay and turn her life around: her foster sister, Lexie, who is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.
After high school, Zoey is hired by a special government agency, the Department of Molecular Genetics (DMG), where she meets the other reason to remain: Daniel, her coworker. The man she loves. But there is something unique about Zoey. She can see fae. Because of this, the DMG hires her to work as a Collector: catching, researching, testing, and using the fae to save human lives. The work never registers on her sympathy radar. She was raised to think of fae as beasts that feed on humans and want to destroy them.
When devastation hits Seattle, Zoey's whole world is turned upside down. The electric storm connects her to a ruthless fae, a Wanderer named Ryker, whose dealings expose them to even more trouble and danger. They embark on a journey, running and hiding from both the government and fae, both of which threaten their lives and those they love.

This is out introduction to Zoey and Ryker.
Zoey is a 20 year-old, former foster child, currently working as a “Collector” for a mysterious and secret governmental agency, the Department of Molecular Genetics (DMG). They “collect” and perform experiments on fae with the excuse/intention of “saving” human lives.
Ryker is a mysterious Viking-like fae, a Wanderer, who stumbles into Zoey’s life during an electrical storm (that may sound familiar if you’ve read The Darkness Series…).
“𝘈 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘫𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳. 𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦; 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵.”
Zoey has been taught to hate fae, and Ryker doesn’t feel too fondly of humans, but these two must work together for *spoilers* in the after effects of this freak storm.
This feels like the beginning of a beautiful enemies to *more* storyline, and is already filled with action and adventure, and I’m excited to keep going in this series.
A major event in the Darkness Series has a huge impact on this one, so you would benefit from reading that series before delving into this one.
I enjoyed the evolution for Zoey and Ryker’s relationship with each other as the story progressed, and more mysteries have been discovered, and I have no idea where these clues are heading.
There is new magic we haven’t come into contact with yet, and I’m interested to see if there will be crossover with the Darkness Series characters, and see what has been happening in the rest of the world while all the happenings in the Darkness Series were going on.
Overall, this series grabbed my attention quickly, and I’m anxious to keep going in this world and see what happens next.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. I did not like how the book keeps repeating thing about the main character, it just very old fast. It also seemed to me the author hates men, all but two of the men in this book where not gross pigs. I did like the main story line though.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Saw it coming.Which scene was your favorite?
The monkey was the best part about this book.Did City in Embers inspire you to do anything?
Only to not finish the rest of the books.Good book just not for me.

The performance was okay as well. Could have been better, could have been worse.
I obtained this through one of Audible's sales, and if you can get it from one as well, then it might be worth a listen.
Good Potential, Okay Execution
