Kindred of the Fallen — Isis Rushdan

A perfect firestorm of desire could save their people...or cost them their lives.

Serenity's soul-reading ability lets her easily create custom tattoos. Everything else in her life is a struggle, from trying to make it work with her best friend, Evan, to nightmares and visions that make her question her sanity. Then she meets a man who sharpens her craving for something more, but her commitment to Evan means nothing beyond sparks can exist between them. Cyrus has been watching Serenity, preparing to claim her as his Blessed mate-the other half of a split soul that, once reunited, is his only chance to break the curse that plagues his people. One moment, Serenity is confronted by armed militants firing questions she cannot answer. The next, she is safe in Cyrus's arms, reveling in his burning kiss...and learning she isn't even human. She is Kindred, blessed with preternatural powers, cursed to suffer the twin horrors of the blood rage and the dark veil. Their union is the greatest hope for redemption in a thousand years, but not all Kindred want to be saved. A dark secret could snuff out their lives before love has a chance to unite them...and redeem the Kindred for all time.

Warning: Contains a headstrong, soul-reading tattoo artist, a sexy alpha hero who knows how to get what he wants, adrenaline-packed action, and explosive sex that literally shatters bulletproof glass.
