Publisher's summary

In this first novel of a dazzling paranormal romantic trilogy, set in a grisly version of modern-day Seattle, one woman’s courageous search plunges her into a millennia-old supernatural war - and an irresistible passion.

Nurse Kayla Friday has dedicated her life to science and reason. But for her, Seattle is a place of eerie loss and fragmented, frightening memories. Now the only clue to her sister’s murder reveals a secret battle between two ancient mythologies - and puts Kayla in the sights of lethally sexy werewolf-mercenary Hart. He’ll do whatever it takes to obtain the key to the Gate of the Land of the Dead and free what’s left of his soul. But seducing the determined Kayla is putting them both at the mercy of powerful desires neither can control. As the clock ticks down to a hellish catastrophe, the untested bond between Kayla and Hart may lead to the ultimate sacrifice.

Kira Brady graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania. She now writes apocalyptic paranormal romances set in a grisly modern-day Seattle.

Love!

I love fantasy, so when I can find an urban fantasy book narrated by Xe Sands, I grab it. She is a phenomenal narrator! The story was excellent and I cannot wait to hear the next book. 100% recommend!

Suspenseful

I really enjoyed this story. It has lots of layers, and twists, with a bit od humor and sadness. I hope there's about Lucia's character in the next book. The narrator did a wonderful job.

Hearts of Darkness

This book is great. It seems so strange but I really am glad I took a chance on this book. Marvelous. The narrator is brilliant. Even a great book without a great narrator is just a book, you may finish or not, but a great book along with a great narrator, well without a doubt, you will finish and sorry it ended so soon.

Good book. Narrator not so much

Most of the male voices all sounded the same. It was hard at times to know who was talking. Had to rewind a lot.
