DELIVERED FROM THE DARKNESS, A WOMAN FINDS HERSELF PLUNGED INTO A PASSION THAT IS DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT.
At eighteen, Corinne Bishop was a beautiful, spirited young woman living a life of privilege as the adopted daughter of a wealthy family. Her world changed in an instant when she was stolen away and held prisoner by the malevolent vampire Dragos. After many years of captivity and torment, Corinne is rescued by the Order, a cadre of vampire warriors embroiled in a war against Dragos and his followers. Her innocence taken, Corinne has lost a piece of her heart as well—the one thing that gave her hope during her imprisonment, and the only thing that matters to her now that she is free.
Assigned to safeguard Corinne on her trip home is a formidable golden-eyed Breed male called Hunter. Once Dragos’s most deadly assassin, Hunter now works for the Order, and he’s hell-bent on making Dragos pay for his manifold sins. Bonded to Corinne by their mutual desire, Hunter will have to decide how far he’ll go to end Dragos’s reign of evil—even if carrying out his mission means shattering Corinne’s tender heart.

My Thoughts.
After being slightly disappointed in the last book I was hoping that this one would be really good especially as I really wanted to read Hunter's story and I'm very happy to say that I was not disappointed.
Hunter has always been a mysterious character and I've wanted to know all about him ever since he joined the Order a few books back, and I think he was paired perfectly with Corinne.
Corinne was one of the Breedmates saved from Dragos, after using her and the others to breed with the Gen One to create more assassins, she wants to go home to see her family and after Brock and Jenna are detained in Alaska, Hunter offers to take her and once they arrive she discovers someone in her family betrayed her and pretty much handed her over to Dragos.
She leaves again with Hunter and their feelings for each other slowly develop, Corinne admits to Hunter that she has a son Nathan whom she gave birth to while being held captive, he'd be thirteen now and Hunter tells her he'd already be one of Dragos' assassins as he was at that age, but Corinne still wants to find him in hopes that she can save him.
There is also a subplot involving Chase losing control of his Bloodlust he has now cut ties with the Order and seems to dig himself deeper and deeper into trouble, Tess gives birth to her and Dante's son Xander Raphael and Lucan has to find somewhere else for everybody to live after he discovers Dragos knows where they live and he's out to destroy them.
This may possibly be my favourite book so far and I can't wait to see what happens with Chase and how he gets his happy ever after.
I give this 5/5.
I love this series. The most recent book is awesome!
