**Warning This Book May Contain Spoilers From The Previous Books In The Series** AT THE CROSSROADS OF DEATH AND DESIRE, A WOMAN TASTES A PLEASURE NO MORTAL IS MEANT TO SURVIVE.
In the frozen Alaskan wilderness, former state trooper Jenna Darrow survives an unspeakable breach of body and soul. But with her narrow escape comes an even greater challenge. For strange changes are taking place within her, as she struggles to understand—and control—a new hunger. To do so, she will seek shelter in the Boston compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most mysterious of them all is Brock, a brooding, dark-eyed alpha male whose hands hold the power to comfort, heal . . . and arouse.
As she recovers under Brock’s care, Jenna finds herself drawn to the Order’s mission: to stop a ruthless enemy and its army of assassins from subjecting Earth to a reign of terror. Yet in spite of their resolve, a purely physical relationship without strings soon binds Brock and Jenna together with a desire fiercer than life and stronger than death itself—until a secret from Brock’s past and Jenna’s own mortality challenges their forbidden love to the ultimate trial by fire.
My Thoughts.
This series is starting to become one of my favourites but this book kind of let me down, I was excited after reading the previous book to see that Jenna was going to be the heroine in the next book I was intrigued to find out the effects she had after the Gen One inserted the piece of his DNA into the back of her neck.
I was really intrigued to find out what changes would occur with the piece of alien matter in her body but we only got glimpses and I would definately have preferred to have a final outcome as to what she was going to become or her final changes to her body.
That was really my only complaint I just wish it was resolved by the time the book was finished, I did like the relationship between Brock and Jenna and while Jenna isn't officially a breedmate the fact that she has the Gen One's DNA inside her makes everybody believe she'll have a long lifespan and I love the fact that she developed a glyph on her body like all the Breed males have.
They decide on a no strings attached relationship but they both start to fall in love with each other but won't admit it, they both have things to deal with Jenna who feels guilty for the death of her husband and daughter and Brock for the young Breedmate he was a bodyguard too, many years ago and who he fell in love with who was kidnapped and then later found murdered.
Dragos makes his usual appearance and manages to destroy another Darkhaven and we have one issue to do with Dragos resolved, I loved that prett much all the Breed males and Breedmates were all mentioned and how it was the women who discovered something that put a spanner in the works of Dragos' plan.
I'm very excited to read the next book which happens to be Hunter's book I can't wait I really like his character and I want to know what he's thinking.
I give this 4/5.
