Blurb: Incubi, sirens, vampires, Valkyerie, faeries, and were-creatures live secretly alongside humanity in this gritty, sexy series.
In the second installment, Valkyrie archaeologist Lorin Schlessinger and werewolf geologist Garbriel Lupinsky are assigned to work together on a dig site. Gabriel's methodical work practices and Lorin's inexplicable attraction to him grate on the archaeologist's nerves. But when she unlocks a cryptic box that sends a signal to intergalactic enemies, Lorin will have to set aside her feelings and work with Gabriel...or risk losing everything.

This book was great and had just about everything! All manner of paranormal creatures, action, danger, a little mystery, and sizzling hot romance!
The main story focuses on Lorin, a valkyerie princess, and Gabe, a smokin' hot werewolf. The chemistry between Gabe & Lorin is amazing, like of the charts hot! I looked forward to seeing them interact throughout the book. Let's just say their chemistry is the kind that you try to find in any romance novel!
While the side story, with Beddoe and the other aliens, is left unresolved, this is the 2nd in a series of books so that is to be expected. I liked the variety of character and the vastness of the world the book was set in.
I do recommend reading the first book, Taste Me, before you read this one so that you know a little more of the story so far. Although the author does explain the story so far, you might miss it if you hadn't already read the first book. I personally like it when an author doesn't recap too much, because I believe you should read previous titles first when reading a series (don't blame it on the author if you don't know what's going on).
The author was an excellent writer, and I was extremely surprised to see that this is only her 2nd book. She seriously writes like a seasoned pro. I am looking forward to many more books from her & can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
