PNR Review: Heart of the Demon (Warriors of the Rift) [Mass Market Paperback]



I've finished reading "Heart of the Demon" the 3rd book in her Warriors of the Rift series by Cynthia Garner.

Product Description

Warriors of the Rift

Once a generation, the rift between the paranormal world and the human world opens, allowing supernatural entities to cross. Vampire, demon, or shapeshifter, they can save the world - or send it spiraling into chaos.

The next opening of the rift is coming - and its consequences will be deadly. A rogue group of human-hating preternaturals is planning an apocalyptic attack, but the Council of Preternaturals may have found the key to saving the world: Keira O'Brien, a fey with a long criminal record, whose empathic abilities once made her the queen of con artists. If she successfully infiltrates the dangerous faction, the sins of her past will be forgiven.

Keira isn't the only agent working against the rogue prets. Finn Evnissyen, a powerful demon with a dark lineage, is a hired assassin looking for a way out. If he stops the threat, he will finally earn his freedom. As the rift fast approaches, and danger escalates, Finn and Keira must discover if they're on the same side - or sleeping with the enemy.

My Review:

Once a generation, the rift between the paranormal world and the human world opens, allowing supernatural entities to cross. Vampire, demon, or shapeshifter, they can save the world - or send it spiraling into chaos.

A group of rogue supernaturals are planning an attack so Finn Evnissyen, Lucifer's demon son and enforcer is asked to infiltrate group.  If he is successful he would save the world and be given a way out of his dad's employment.

Keira O'Brien is also investigating the rogue group on a secret mission for Caladh MacLoch a senior member of the Council of Preternaturals.  She's part fey with powerful empathetic abilities and is a former con artist.  She hopes her success will help wipe out her past sins and she is surprised to see Finn involved with the group.

Both of these characters are walking on the fine line between good and bad.  It was quite surprise to see that both characters had to do a nasty assignment to prove their loyalty to the leader of the rogue group (especially Finn's).  Both of them want to keep each other close but can't reveal their real intentions to protect their cover.

The romance was quite steamy, provocative and hot and both of them have interesting pasts to keep you interested.

4/5

Thanks Hachette Book Group Canada for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
