Got my version from Netgalley, and yet again this one didn´t show fi- or fl- in any words, so you have to use your brain when you read *eyeroll*
Did miss a big chunk of the final showdown as well, so I jumped from a pre-fight talk to the aftermath SMH.
I read this as a standalone, I´m guessing you´ll get more from it if you´ve read the first books, but it worked great anyhow. 
David lost his use of his legs in a tragedy and that made him step away from Maggie, for her own sake. Now that she needs support, will he step up? 
Diana tries to get by even though her internal threat is clouding her joy. Will her baby survive, and what will her mate Ryder do to save them? 
Action, suspense, shifters, vamps and smutty fluff. 
I think I´ll start the series from the beginning instead, and re-read this one in a final version, with all the letters intact. 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.

 

One thing that our author is good about is that she doesn’t change her female character just because she is married – she stays true to herself and her job.  And as I read, I find myself combining two of my favorite shows on TV – think “Criminal Minds” and an old show called “Quincy”.  And then these two shows met the paranormal (like “Grimm”) – hey, SyFy Channel are you listening?

 

Our author is smart in that she doesn’t reveal anything before its time.  This is the reason that you will want to continually turn the page.  The sex, romance, and the couples are just icing on the cake.  But the meat of the story is the mystery that needs to be solved – bringing justice to whomever is the evil one committing the crimes.  And the great news is that this series isn’t over yet.  She will be having another book coming out titled Born to Die.

 

My Review:
3.5 Stars

I always love a good story that has some mythology and gods to it. In this one we get to see a little known goddess, Nemesis, daughter of Hera and Zeus. In this version, Zeus is just as nasty as the myths would have us believe. Rape and lies to get what he wants. This is the first version I’ve seen where Hera wasn’t depicted as a petty, vindictive shrew and that was a nice surprise. There are other supernatural creatures in this and we get to meet a couple. The mystery was solid and the romance was well played out.

The serial killer angle was under-explored, I felt. We had a brief glimpse into his twisted psyche and that was all. A couple other glances during the ongoing search for the serial killer would have fleshed it out nicely I think. Also it was mentioned several times that the helper to the killer had some evil energy emanating from him. Then nothing was ever done with it or explained further so I was left mildly confused by that.

This book is the first in a series that is a spin-off of a previous series written by Ms. Pineiro. There is mention of other characters that I am sure if I had read the previous series, I might know who they were. Also other mentions of other immortals but not many details are given. I felt like I might have been missing something. I would not recommend this book as a standalone.


That said, I still enjoyed the book and the romance between Helene and Miguel was wonderful. I love how you could see her change as she fell more in love with him. Slowly you could feel him healing from his past experiences. I really loved the progression of their story. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Pineiro and not the last. I will be interested to go back and read the series that comes before this one.
