Much as she wishes otherwise, superstar political consultant Olivia Shepherd was born a powerful empath. It’s a legacy she walked away from long ago—but when she wakes up one morning to find Elsa, a tenacious time-walker, standing in her kitchen, she realizes she can no longer ignore her gifts. She is quickly plunged into the hidden world of powerful “Others” and drafted to work for the Council, a shadowy organization that summons the fog to San Francisco to obscure their involvement in human affairs.
Complicating matters further is Olivia’s new love interest, William. A centuries-old vampire, William is far too jaded to take an interest in human affairs—but Olivia no longer has the luxury of remaining impartial. As shocking details from Olivia’s own past emerge and her role in the Council begins to take shape, will she rise to the challenge of her destiny?
This is one of the better books I've read in a long time this is just a wonderful read this is a must read if you like fantasy sci-fi paranormal. Not sure if you'd classify as young adult but it's definitely not like most of the adult type books that are out nowadays.
Olivia is this amazing Crazy Character that has grown up hearing that she is an empath and has all these abilities from her mom and her grandmother but she ignores them and at some point can't ignore them when there's a demon trying to torture her entire life and a few select people come into her life and help her through this .
The crazy ending to this book still kills me because I was not expecting it all and I'm usually great at being able to anticipate the end of a book or how it's going to play out, I didn't not expect it at all it threw me for a completely Loop.
And William her vampire lover oh man what can I say this is one vampire that is not the normal vamp you come across . vampire characters with dark hair brooding doesn't communicate doesn't like feelings all this stuff he's the exact top so all of those things. He shares more of his feelings than she does and is very upfront and honest with what he wants and expects out of their relationship. it's so refreshing and amazing and he's this cute adorable redheaded vampire that I don't think I've ever thought of a redhead as sexy but I definitely do with him.
This author creates this big elaborate scene that she sets everything into for these characters in this world of fairies and werewolves and vampires and shapeshifters and time Jumpers and witches and all kinds of other things that are just so amazing as she creates this world that's like a dual world with both creatures and humans in it and she just pulls you into it with her amazing storytelling and she really is one that is a must read.
There is more to the series as this is left on a cliffhanger and I know there's a second book that I have yet to read but I'm very excited to read it and to read more from this author, if I could give this book more stars than five I absolutely would it was amazing and I could not put it down.
