I may have been biased reading this book, knowing I was going to love it because Meagan Brandy's name is attached to it. Glad to see I was right. My only complaint is that damn cliff-hanger at the end. Of all places to end a book, why does it have to be when it starts getting juicy?
Another reason why I hate starting an incomplete series.
Fated royals: Creed, Knight, Sinner, and Legend. Brothers born of royal blood, dark magic. They attended university, Rathe U, in the human world, along with other gifted individuals. Gift meaning supernational magic possessing beings, and the giftless are humans.
Knight has mated with London, a giftless. Or is she? They both feel the pull and attraction towards each other. The mating process begins the moment they have sex. Something that begins to scare Knight and causes him to feel hatred towards London, as well as this sick craving to be around her and constantly claim her.
His older brother, Creed, doesn't trust her. He thinks it's something off about her, and he's determined to prove what it is. Safe to say he does not approve of her and his brother being mates. He is constantly asking what she is hiding and trying to read her mind to seek the answers he is looking for.
In the midst of typical college shit and the whole fated issues, something is going down. Random attacks are happening more and more, and their parents are worried. They only seem to share enough to keep the boys alert. When they are summoned home, Knight kidnaps London and takes her back to his world. Part of her is scared and confused, and the other part feels like she is home, right where she needs to be.
It seems a gifted cannot be mated to a giftless, it's just impossible. Tired of waiting, Knight basically kills her, trying to force her hand to see if she is truly mated to him. He begins to panic when she does not awaken, but eventually she does. There is this shift, and she finally accepts her feeling and her need for him. Just as the two have come to terms with their fate, all hell breaks loose.
Turns out London isn't really London. She is a gifted and not just any gifted, the creature responsible for killing the brothers sister. Knight and Sinner's triplet. Seems someone blocked off her gift and memories and hid her in the human world, but the connection of her mated bond seemed to break through that barrier.
When I tell you, I am anxiously waiting for book 2. A part of me hopes she didn't just kill the sister in cold blood, who was her best friend. I refuse to believe it, it has to be more to the story. UGH!
