My Review:

Evalle is an anomaly among anomalies. She has a heritage that links her to the Belador tribe, but is treated like an outcast because of her lack of pure blood. To others she is known as an Alterant. This is the name given to half-breed Beladors who have the ability to shift into a beast and endanger society. Evalle has no idea what else her genetic makeup is composed of. She was raised by an aunt who kept her locked in the basement, and her lips sealed shut when it came to questions about Evalle's absent parents. Evalle now works for an organization that helps to keep the non-humans in Atlanta under control. She also continues to try to prove herself to her tribe. Evalle is constantly trying to show them she isn't like the others that have been locked away, and that she has control over the beast inside her. Now a suspicious murder has taken place, and Evalle will have to prove yet again she wasn't involved, while also preventing the foreseen destruction of the world as she knows it.

Evalle has only a handful of people she trusts. Two of the three are fellow agents for the supernatural-police-type organization she works for, VIPER. Her boss, Sen, hates her for what she is and would love to have her locked up too. It comes to the attention of VIPER that a powerful stone is about to come into the possession of a powerful female. It can bring great change or destruction if left unchecked, so agents (including Evalle) are sent out to find it.

Evalle is paired with a mysterious man named Storm. She believes he is a plant, sent in by Sen to find a reason to lock her up. But there is more to Storm than meets the eye and there is definitely attraction there. There is also a spark between Evalle and a sexy human, Isak.  

Evalle was such a great character because she didn't take any flak from any of the Beladors or any of the higher ups and she's such a kick ass character.  Loved that she has two love interests (one that really understands what's she's going through being an outcast and the other when he finds out what she is!!!!!!) Can't wait to see that scene!

I really like Tzader and Quinn two of her fellow agents and friends and especially Feenix her pet Gargoyle who has a potty mouth!  Those were such hilarious scenes!

This book is very action packed right from the first page to the end page and I highly recommend reading this series if you fast paced, well written characters and storyline!

4.5/5

Thanks Maylene from Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
