Slade’s fourth Marked Souls paranormal (after Vowed in Shadows) tosses in a twist for the Chicago league of talyan, warriors possessed by repentant demons. After their archivist betrays them, the London HQ sends over a new human Bookkeeper. Sidney Westerbrook wants to prove himself through this temporary assignment, an opportunity boosted when he finds a previously unknown female talya. Alyce doesn’t know how long she’s been roaming the streets battling evil ferales, but she’s intrigued by Sid and the chance to end her loneliness. With Sid expected back in London and Alyce pressured to choose a mate from the talyan, their budding romance is further complicated by a new enemy determined to take over the city. Slade’s plot packs plenty of action, but Sid’s backstory is delayed too long, weakening his character development in a group of forceful personalities. Agent: Becca Stumpf, Prospect Agency. (Mar.)
The war between good and evil has raged for millennia, and as a powerful new enemy ascends, the Marked Souls are pushed to the ragged edge.
Sidney Westerbrook has always studied darkness and damnation from a sensible distance. Now, to earn his place as a league Bookkeeper, he must discover why Chicago is such a battleground of soul-linked warriors. But the research becomes personal when he finds himself over his head and under attack-and at the mercy of a waif with demon-lit eyes and a deep yearning in her heart.
Alyce Carver has been alone longer than she can remember, battered by the living nightmares that haunt her city. Cornered by yet another gang of demons, she unwittingly joins forces with a handsome scholar who can salvage her past, and she in turn may be the key to his investigations. But she won't let him go until he shows her everything she's been missing.
What begins as an experiment in possession becomes a trial by desire so powerful it threatens both their lives, even as it binds their souls.
