Kane knows Corrine was meant to be his...just as he knows that possessing the lovely human is outlawed. But on the night of the Samhain moon, the beast in every demon is stronger than reason, and Kane’s instinct is more powerful than any punishment. To claim her, he must cross the boundaries between them—body and mind...
Corrine doesn’t understand how Kane is able to read her thoughts, or if everything the stranger is telling her is the truth. But it takes no more than an illicit kiss to convince her of one thing: being in the presence of this powerful man is exactly where she needs to be...
My rating:
Kane met Corinne on Samhain, after stalking her, burning for her for three days, but before he could claim her, his brother stopped him...Then, before he could receive his punishment, Kane was summoned back to her side, horrified at the changes in her. She was dying and the only thing that could prevent it, was his nearness...While the beast, under the influence inside him, raged to claim the woman he knew was his mate.
The prologue runs parallel to the beginning of the first chapter of Jacob, but told from his youngest brother, Kane's, perspective...The rest of the story is set just after Jacob ends and involves Jacob's younger brother, Kane, and the woman meant to be his (who almost wasn't because of all the lost lore), Corinne, Isabella's older sister.
I liked the premise of these two strangers thrust together in order for one of them to survive, while also battling the raging lust neither can really ignore.
Unfortunately, it was too short for the story to unfold organically (a normal novel would be preferable), or for the characters to overcome their rather flat and bland bonds. In the end, I had no idea what really made either Kane or Corinne tick, why he was in love with her (beside chemistry reasons), or where their story could really go (beside bed at least twice a year when they'll have no choice in the matter).
