Paranormal

Darian is unlike any other Shaede. She has unusual skills and can fight like the devil. She also has her own protector whom she loves fiercely. They are bound and as a Jinn she can ask anything of him and if possible he will grant it. But lately Tyler has been acting more than just protective, he has been downright jealous and crazy at times. Raif is another Shaede and a dear friend of Darian and for some reason Tyler is acting like they are more than just friends even though he knows their relationship is platonic. Darian loves Raif like a brother and nothing more. Tyler is everything to her, but after years of doing everything for herself she has trouble asking anyone for help. Raif lost his daughter and has thought her dead for a long time and when a crazy oracle mentions her to Darian she knows she will do anything to find the girl that means so much to Raif. Darian and Tyler find themselves in a crazy and twisted mystery with attempts on their lives at every turn. Darian knows she must protect Tyler because to lose him would destroy her, but in doing so she just might destroy the one man she has ever loved. This is the second book in this new series and just like the first one I was immediately drawn back into Bonilla's world and captivated by Darian's story. I love that the heroine is grumpy and fierce and loves just as hard as she fights. I was a little peeved at the ending, but hopefully when the next release comes out in March 2013, I will find joy again!
