There is no sanctuary without him.
At last, she has it all. Everything she thought she’d never have. Acceptance. Friendship. Love. Parsley Walker is finally home. Allswell, the magical refuge for supernaturals, is all she’d imagined and more. She’s making friends. Learning not to hide her telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Learning not to fear. And most importantly, planning a future free from that ever present sense of foreboding with the vampire she loves. Her life, the life she was always meant for, is about to begin.
Then she gets the letter that turns her new world upside down.
Jesse Linwood has just done the hardest thing he’s ever had to do—turned his back on the only girl he’s ever loved. With Parsley safe in Allswell and believing he’s dead, Jesse returns to his sire, Patrick—the ancient, wicked vampire who lusts for Parsley’s blood—to convince him she’s somewhere he’ll never be able to find her. To eliminate the threat to her once and for all, even at the expense of Jesse’s own life. Because love isn’t about the heart. Love is about the soul and how much of it you’re willing to lose.
This book includes erotic scenes and graphic violence.
I was gifted this book by the author for an honest review.
Oh wow what a story. Packed with action and magic.
It picked up right where First Fruits left off. With vengeful justice, followed by heartbreaking betrayal.
Jesse knows his sire will never stop hunting Parsley. His only hope to keep her safe is to take her to Allswell. A sanctuary for the supernatural. However only one race is forbidden entry. His!
Leaving Parsley there will protect her from Patrick. But in order to do so he will have to let her go. Sigh, it really tugged at my heart strings when Jesse let Parsley go.
Parsley is unaware that Vampires are forbidden in Allswell and thinks Jesse is coming back to her. Then one day a letter arrives informing her of his death. She knows in her heart it to be untrue and realises he lied to her and life in Allswell without the man she loves is no life.
She promptly leaves in search of Jesse.
After leaving Parsley Jesse returns to Patrick where his mind is wiped and he forgets her. But Felix (you just have to love Felix) comes to the rescue.
From the moment Parsley leaves Allswell the story just explodes and pulls you into a world of fantasy, peaking with action, gore and violence. Then mellowing into a sweet romance.
I enjoyed reading about the other characters and hope there will be more books with them in it. We have not heard the last of Patrick but I am hoping Felix is next and the mark he has gone after to save is his mate.
I loved reading this. It was just perfect. This story kept me up till 3 am I just couldn’t put it down.
