sense of belonging and gains the affections of high school’s most desired boy,
Joey Davale. Her newly found life becomes derailed when she learns her whole
existence has been a lie, and the boy she’s falling for, is designed to destroy
the very thing growing inside of her.
Forced to conceal this truth, Gabriella
embarks on a secret life that will drive her into the arms of Alvero, the
embodiment of her darkest fear. Her newly found heritage traps her in a
dangerous web of lies between two worlds and two loves. Her life will become
more dangerous than she ever imagined. As the age-old battle between witches

inside?

My Review:
I will not lie, the beginning of this book had be all kinds of confused but things did start to come together for me about 1/3 of the way through.
This was a very unique twist on the Paranormal that tied in Christianity and the Knights Templar which I had never read in a book before.
Overall a good story that will leave you thinking about it after you finish it.

EXCERPT
I should have never tempted fait, like a magnetic pull, I had this eternal desire to see her in the flesh. It had been year since I last seen this child, the thought of Matthias creating life saved me from my never-ending darkness.
I could always sense her as I quietly watched from a distance, with her mother’s protective magic gone, I leaped at the chance to see her. I knew she had grown-up, nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to catch sight of. In all my 600 years I have never desired anything more, the very thing I use to hunt and kill has possessed me fully.
I can destroy her at any giving moment, but she welcomes me, it’s as if she hold my soul. She has bewitched me. Her very essence quenches my thirst and I have no desire to feed, I feel alive and human again, when I am near her. It kills me to hide in the shadows as another gains her affections, I hate that I can’t bring myself to face her. I fear she will remember, the night I first saw her 10 years ago, the night that forever changed our worlds.
