About this ebook

Journal entry: 10.18.2668I’m supposed to be leaving on the midnight transport. By the time it comes and they realize what I’ve done, God willing, I’ll be gone. I keep asking myself why I’m doing this, but deep down I know… I know I’m doing it for her.It’s wrong to want a creature like Tatima, especially one under my guard. I can’t stop seeing her dark blue eyes or feeling the softness of her skin against mine. The moisture of her lips and tongue when I assuaged her hunger.I’m a man. I’m human. This outpost is lonely. She’s as beautiful to me as she is frightening.We trusted each other once. Maybe we could again.Wanting her could mean so much disaster, but I can’t stop.---The United States has split. Supernatural creatures—lab experiments gone wrong—are being rounded up so their existence can be contained. One young man, bent on revenge, takes a job as a prison guard in order to kill the blood-sucker who murdered his father. A creature who used to be human. Someone he once thought he loved.When Ronan gets close, he discovers the feelings he had for Tatima aren’t as dead as he’d believed. A web of lies surrounding his father’s death and the outpost where he works gets stickier the more he investigates.The further Ronan goes, the less anything makes sense. Except the woman who can still bring him to life with a single touch. The one who makes him question everything.The woman who’s supposed to be his enemy.

I enjoyed this novella. The world is a very dark place in this story. There is practically no happiness to be found, and conflict is everywhere. I love that even with all the darkness, Elisabeth Staab filled the pages with intense emotions and excitement. The plot was very intriguing, and Ronan's personal issues were heartbreaking. He is full of anger and rage, and carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders, which gets worse as the story evolves. I really loved the journaling the characters did. It gave a great peek into their minds, and helped move things along quickly. Ronan and Tatima were fascinating to follow, and things were never easy for them. They kept going and it made a great story, and a quick read. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
