A cousin, Claire, has been kidnapped. Claire refused to hand over an urn given to her by a widower to a man, Adrian Boucher. Now Cin is called upon to travel to the America where there is an internal war brewing. So now if the Righteous can get across the ocean without incident and cross the blockades, then all they have to do is find the culprit, get Claire back and return her to England to her family. Just another day in the life of Cin Craven.
Once in the new world, Cin finds that the battles she must face are more than just against Adrian Boucher, who has Claire at his plantation on Devil's Island. Cin has to face inner demons which threaten her sanity, her relationship with Michael and the safety of all those around her.
In the third installment of the Cin Craven series, Jenna Maclaine brings the adventure across the pond to a warring America and the obstacles facing Cin are not all supernatural— a plantation of slaves, the war, black magic and a captive god. This book was an exhilarating ride in the 1860's in Georgia.
The relationship between Cin and her husband is a great balance of romance and adult maturity between two adults. It was refreshing to not spend a whole book wondering if they will stay together. They are a strong married couple that I hope to read about for years to come.
This was the first book I have read by Jenna Maclaine and felt the book was so well written it could have been a stand alone. I plan on going out and picking up the previous two books this weekend.
Book Summary
As the Civil War rages among mortal men, Cin Craven is locked in an epic battle of her own - fighting the renegade vampires whose unquenchable appetites she knows all too well. At her side are the immortal warriors of The Righteous - among them her husband, her lover, her soul-mate Michael. With a passion bordering on possession, Cin's love for Michael knows no bounds. But when a ruthless plantation owner kidnaps Cin's cousin the most terrifying battle of all awaits. Cin is drawn to the irresistible lure of dark magic to stop their enemies, while Michael staunchly opposes it - putting their love and loyalty to the ultimate test.
