It takes a monster to stop a monster.
Light the candle.
Stand naked before the symbol.
Offer your blood.
The advocate will come.
I left my abusive crime boss husband expecting to
start over from nothing. After all, the prenup I signed when I married him is
ironclad. But when Tony uses a loophole in the law to go after my ancestral
family home—the one I’m currently living in and my grandmother is dying in—I’m
desperate to stop him.
My witch best friend Maeve offers a solution. She
lends me a family spell to call a supernatural advocate to deal with Tony.
After all, it takes a monster to stop a monster.
But when I follow her instructions, I’m not
expecting the darkly handsome Damien to form from the shadows, or to learn that
he’s been a prisoner of Maeve’s family for centuries. From the moment he
accepts my bargain and drinks my blood, he awakens a passion in me, one charged
with latent magic. Magic formidable enough to restore my true self. Magic that
holds the promise of Damien’s freedom.
I loved this story so much. I loved how Eloise was a
very sunshine character throughout this book and it worked with Damien’s grumpy
persona. They worked well together. I was not a huge fan of Maeve. They were
using Damien for their own reason and it wasn’t really explained why. The one
big detractor is the cliffhanger ending which was a surprise as this author
doesn’t usually do this. It was enjoyed enough I will check out the other
books.
