One hundred years ago, a sheriff's posse killed dark warlock Rhyfel Gremory, but his witch-disciples escaped, and their magic made them nearly immortal. To keep their power, each year one of the witch-disciples kills a descendant of one of the men in the posse, a twelve-year cycle that has cost dozens of lives, including that of Seth Tanner's brother, Jesse.

Seth Tanner uncovers the cycle of ritual killings that feeds the power of the witch-disciples, and he's hell bent on getting vengeance for Jesse and stopping the murders. His fledgling romantic relationship with Evan Malone complicates his mission, but Seth can't walk away. Seth and Evan are learning to navigate their partnership-as lovers and monster hunters-while they chase down the next witch-disciple and avoid attracting the wrong kind of attention.

When the hunt takes Seth and Evan to Pittsburgh on the trail of the next killer, they'll have to save the intended victim and take down the powerful witch. If the skills they possess and the bond between them isn't enough, the evil will remain unchallenged, and more people will die...

Loved it.

I read the first book in this series and I thought, not bad, a little heavy on the sex scenes, but enough action to balance it. Then I read 1.5 and thought, hmm, what exactly is the point of this novella? Now as I listen to this book I know I am done with this series. Half way in and the amount of progress in this book could be summed up in three pages, and that’s being generous. There is nothing but smut.

All the expertise by the main hunter that was seen in the first book is gone and the author has him and his partner making ridiculous mistakes like an amateur fumbling around in the dark to further the plot and lengthen the book. In addition to that they have the most co-dependant unhealthy relationship born from shared trauma and all they do is have sex, doubt each other and make very uninformed assumptions. The author struggles with the romance aspect of this book and constantly falls back on the sex scenes which seems to be every second page and is so repetitive i’ve spent most of this book skipping.

Gone is the sense of preservation that you would hope would be born from being kidnapped and almost killed. The MC can no longer go into a tunnel without having a panic attack, but though they are searching for another immortal and know he is dangerous, both partners seem to have little suspicion of anything or anyone. It’s like knowing there is a sniper lurking around and stepping out in open spaces without even looking around or taking precautions.
