The fabled Black Diamond was found and now all hell is about to break loose as the Sons of Darkness are after Angelique Deveraux after she escapes with it months before. She never expects Ryder, that sexy Demon Hunter from the Realm of Light to show up on her doorstep, evading her space and taking her on one wild ride, all the while trying to keep one step in front of the demons after Angelique as well as the Black Diamond she is hiding? Can Ryder keep Angelique safe from harm while trying to stop an all out demon war? Will Angelique be able to figure out the secrets that haunt her family?

THE DARKEST TOUCH is the latest installment in the wonderful Ms. Burton’s Demon Hunters series that will keep you guessing from start to finish. This book starts a few months after HUNTING THE DEMON ends and here you find Ryder on the trail of the wily, feisty Angelique and the black diamond. He is not too happy with her right now as he tries to fight the powerful attraction that consumes him every time she is near and at the same time, try to keep her safe from the demons hunting for her. Will he give in to the attraction that simmers beneath the surface or will he walk away from the only woman who moves him like no other? Angelique is determined that no one gets the black diamond and as she searches for her twin sister, she never expects to be found by Ryder nor the demon hordes. When family secrets unravel, Ryder and Angelique are blown away by it all and end up with more than they bargained for in the end. Ms. Burton delivers another spellbinding story and this time we get to see the intensity of the attraction between Ryder and Angelique that simmered in HUNTING THE DEMON. This is an author that takes her characters to new heights and definitely delivers in THE DARKEST TOUCH. From start to end, you are on one emotional roller coaster as Ryder and Angelique are, as they race along with the Realm of Light, to stop the Demons from becoming more powerful and end up starting a war that could cost human kind everything.

With each page, I was on the edge waiting to see what would happen next and you get a sense of what the next book might be about in this enigmatic series. With tight writing, a fast pace and engaging characters, Ms. Burton truly delivers a paranormal story that will leave you breathless. I definitely recommend THE DARKEST TOUCH for anyone who enjoys a great character driven story that will leave shivers up your spine! Get ready for the ride of your life as you read THE DARKEST TOUCH. Fasten your seat belts, it’s about to get bumpy!
