Summary:
Much as she wishes otherwise, superstar political consultant Olivia Shepherd was born a powerful empath. It's a legacy she walked away from long ago - but when she wakes up one morning to find Elsa, a tenacious time-walker, standing in her kitchen, she realizes she can no longer ignore her gifts. She is quickly plunged into the hidden world of powerful "Others" and drafted to work for the Council, a shadowy organization that summons the fog to San Francisco to obscure their involvement in human affairs.
Complicating matters further is Olivia's new love interest, William. A centuries-old vampire, William is far too jaded to take an interest in human affairs - but Olivia no longer has the luxury of remaining impartial. As shocking details from her own past emerge and her role in the Council begins to take shape, will she rise to the challenge of her destiny?
My Thoughts:
I could barely put this down.
Olivia is a successful career woman in politics who is experiencing some hardships against her rival. When Elsa appears in her life suddenly, she learns her rival has sold his soul to the devil, and that in order to keep being the best at her job, she must shape her abilities in order to stop the demon from interfering in her life. When she reluctantly decides to do so, she realizes just how many Others are in the world alongside humans, and what they do. Olivia accepts the offer of a job at the council, which would have her run the political campaign for Levi Barnes. She even meets and falls in love with a vampire named William.
I really love the characters in this book. Even minor characters seem to be fully-fleshed out and are either likable or unlikeable. The author does a fantastic job building in how the Council and the Others fit into the world of humans. I enjoyed reading this novel so much that I was disappointed when I finished. I will definitely be checking out the rest of this series when it comes out, and also other books by this author.
My Rating: 5 stars
