A series consisting of 4 books about the magical world of supplicant versus conduit. A world in which Charissa's blood as a supplicant, severely amplifies the spells of a conduit, making her prey to these conduits. When she returns to the town where she grew up, she no longer really feels at home there. Lulu, her school friend since primary school, is the only thing that binds her to the town. In order not to feel useless, she looks for work. As a former model, she has visited many nightclubs and when she runs into Abram who is looking for a manager, she has a job. Stories of missing young women reach her. It is worrying that they show many similarities with her, but Charissa doesnt think about it beyond that. Until one night in the dark she is chased by a beast and rescued by another beast. Slowly she learns the story about her missing father and her bloodline. She discovers that Abram is the beast that saved her and gets to know Satina who plays a role in the curse, making Abram a beast by night and a human by day. Charissa, vain and naive, with her head in the clouds and dressed in high couture, turns into a woman who learns to survive in a world full of magic. Abram, always a womanizer who went for his own pleasures and did not dwell on the harm done to others, meets his equal in Charissa. Satina, a woman harmed by Abram who cursed him. She continues to haunt him over the years but now seems to put the couple's happiness first. Great story. Sometimes a slow moment in the book but it remains a story that you want to read part 2 quickly 4* I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
