Book Description:

turned eighteen and discovered that she has been promised to someone by her
parents for marriage. Not wanting to shame her family she agrees to participate

Niko Raydon is a
Hunter. He and his kind are what police the magical community and make sure
that no one uses dark magic to harm another. Niko finds himself drawn to a
small Gypsy village on the night of their annual matching celebration because
of the use of dark magic.

cost.
When Oralia meets
Niko the connection between them is instant and despite her impending marriage
to Tobias she wants to be with Niko and he with her. But will their love be
enough to set her free or will Tobias's use of evil magic tear them apart for
good?
Review:
I loved
this book. It was interesting and sweet (and hot) with a bit of drama and
black magic. I liked Oraila a lot. She is just who she is. She is honest and
sweet and cares for others. She always wants to help.
Every
time she went into the other realm, I felt like her life on Earth froze. She
didn't have to worry about Tobias or his black magic.
When it
got to a crazy part, I thought that it was almost over. But then I kept turning
the pages! It is a great length!
You get
to see this whole new world with her. You see how Niko and her really grow
together even more. I love Niko family. All the men do everything possible to
keep the women safe even though they can take care of themselves. I love how
Oraila brings part of her world (dancing) to her new world.
I would
be really interested in reading about Markus's story.

Short Excerpt:
The time had
finally come for the annual matching celebration. Oralia had been dreading this
day for the last six months.
It was six months ago that Oralia’s
parents, Patrick and Efanie, had sat her down to inform her that they finally
decided it was time she married. Having only turned eighteen two weeks prior
Oralia was mortified. She had no desire to marry, much less with any of the men
from her clan. It’s true there were a few that were pleasant to look at but for
the most part her options were limited and it’s not like she got a choice in
the matter. Her parents would make the arrangements prior to the celebration
then hand her over like some gift wrapped prize to be won after the celebratory
dance was completed.The wedding itself would take a place sometime within the
month following the celebration.
The entire process disgusted Oralia.
She considered herself a free spirit and had no desire to settle down. She
wanted to step out and see the world, to experience new things, meet new people
and have the opportunity to choose for herself whom she wanted to love.
Life at times could be so unfair.
