The Argeneaus are back! Filled with love, passion, and adventure, New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands returns with another sexy romance about everyone's favorite immortals.

Stephanie McGill was attacked and turned when she was just a teenager. Worse, her abilities are unlike any other immortal. Now 13 years later, with the help of her adopted Argeneau family, Steph has carved out a new – if not lonely – life for herself. Until a new neighbor arrives…

Thorne is also one-of-a-kind. The result of a genetic experiment, he’s not an immortal, but he’s not mortal either. He’s looking for a place to hide, to get some peace and quiet so he can figure things out, and Stephanie’s sanctuary is perfect. In fact, Stephanie is perfect. For the first time, Thorne is free to be himself and he’s falling for her.

But if they’re going to have a future together, they’ll first need to deal with their past…because the mad scientist who created Thorne is now after Stephanie.

4 STARS

 Stephanie has had such a hard life since she was 15 years old.  And those abilities had been like torture for so long. Hearing people's thoughts non-stop was why she was living a more isolated life. She had a really good support team of people who loved her and she loved them.  Her sister was part of that but the rest of the people were her new family. 

Thorne hadn't had a normal upbringing either but his was different starting from birth. But since his DNA has been messed with, he really hasn't had normal even before birth!

 This story had really good world building. Add to that some of the humor.  Especially when Stephanie had her embarrassing moments when she was talking to her cat or her dog.  Thorne heard a lot of the times when she was talking about how hot he was, among other things.  That was definitely funny as was her direct and honest ways with him. 

Everything ends dramatically and in the best possible ways.

 I received an ARC through Netgalley and am voluntarily providing an honest review.
