CLICK TO PURCHASE! Brioni has always wondered about Haruto, the mysterious lycan who has joined Earth’s organized resistance. Something calls her to the man who doesn’t interact with the others and who kills without feeling and for some reason who never takes his goggles off. One evening she hears a sound. Following it, she comes across Haruto playing the ocarina. When she approaches him, he doesn’t turn her away and they spend a night sharing each other’s bodies. Then, all hell breaks loose. Haruto is fascinated by the new feelings Brioni has awakened in him. He doesn’t want to lose his ‘Goth Fairy’ and he is willing to kill or die for her. Trouble is, their enemies have found out about them and know that Haruto can be captured through Brioni. The question is not if there is a future for them, but can they even survive the now?

While I was reading this fabulous story, I felt as if I was watching a Manga film. Nathalie Gray writes vivid characters that leap off the pages. From the optimistic, happy Brioni, to the brooding, mysterious Haruto. She builds a world that is dark and dangerous. There is lots of action and adventure and I was scrolling those pages as fast as possible. When I got to the love scenes, then I went a bit slower to savour those delicious feelings that this talented author wrote into each scene. She delivers sensual, passionate love scenes that curls the toes and gets the motor humming. The dialogue is very well written and I love the way Ms. Gray just grabs the reader and pulls her into the story. I’m a big fan of Nathalie Gray’s stories. She always writes stories that are totally captivating in every way.
