About this ebook

Gargoyle shifter Roman is on high alert as he patrols from a Boston rooftop.


When a blast of dark magic reaches him, he tracks a beautiful, mysterious woman. 


Is she in danger? Or is she dangerous?


What he uncovers is far more shocking.


Following in her dad's footsteps, Larissa became a cop. But she has a secret. She can sense things before they happen–a curse that torments her.


She meets Roman while out with a friend. He’s intriguing and hot. Maybe a fling is just what she needs.


Until he blindsides her with the truth about her abilities.


And she discovers he’s hiding dark secrets. Is he some kind of monster?


When a formidable foe threatens them, can they move beyond their suspicions? If they can’t find a way to work together, the city they’ve vowed to protect could fall…

Gargoyle shifters are always an interesting read & I liked Larissa's character too. Good length of a read with action & some romance. Would have preferred to read it in 1st person dual/multi pov to connect with the characters better, that would make it a 5 star read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
