Publisher's summary

Zoë Merrick lived an ordinary life until late one night, she was brutally attacked and left for dead. She survived, saved by a stranger who witnessed her undergo a physical transformation. That's not the only thing that's different. Zoë is unable to control an unexplainable energy coursing through her body.

Justus De Gradi is a man who can teach her that control. He's handsome, arrogant, and not entirely human. He reveals that she is a Mage - an immortal made of light, not magic. She must now make a choice: Rebuild her life in the human world with the man who saved her, or live with Justus and learn how to use her extraordinary gifts. Justus has sworn an oath to protect her life, but can he guard her from the one man who has a right to claim it?

Love the story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I'm relatively new to magerie and shifter stories, however ive been reading different books from different authors and Dannika Dark has a unique way to mix romance with thriller. Its entertaining but not too much sex where you have to be embarrassed when somebody comes in the room. Wouldnt listen to it with my kids but with a friend.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The end, but I dont want to spoil. However I love the way how the author teases you with romance and then it seems that something always interferes with the situation. It keeps it interesting.

Good story..... But kind of slow

First book to new series..... It was slow but it kept my interest. I will listen to the next book. I totally enjoyed the ending.

Gave my anxiety a jolt

I really loved this book. The complexity of the characters and the story, shows that Dannika Dark is a very talented writer and story teller. This book affects all your emotions. It covers everything. It is thrilling, suspenseful, and romantic. It just goes to show that you don't need a lot of sex to be a good and enjoyable book. Some times I wanted to throttle Zoe, but that is just her character. The triangle is excellent. I don't know who to root for. It is difficult. My opinion changes from chapter to chapter. Looking forward to the next book. Nicole Poole does a great job with each of the characters. She enhances the book.

Good one enjoyed the story the down fall for me was when the narrator whispered at parts i struggled to hear as I am a truck driver and listen through my Bluetooth speaker.
