(Off Goodreads)

Loving a dead man can be brutal. Diana Reye’s pregnancy is draining her of life. Now she and vampire Ryder Latimer are faced with the most difficult choice of all. Turn Diana, or lose her and the baby. If Ryder chooses to save them, he risks the wrath of the Slayer Council and will be marked for his own death by their friend Michaela. Chasing a vampire can be consuming.

FBI agent Michaela Ramirez has been searching for the vampire who raped and killed her mother while acting as an enforcer for the Slayer Council. Since meeting FBI Director Jesus Hernandez , however, Michaela is losing a bit of her edge as she imagines the possibility of a life full of happiness and passion with her handsome boss by her side…and in her bed.

Living without the one they love isn’t an option.

But soon trouble comes calling as the vampire she hunts makes Michaela his prey. Now Michaela finds herself in a battle not only for her own life, but for her friends lives as well, as she and Ryder both make the difficult decision to break all the rules for love.

My Review:

The fourth book in the Reborn series or twelfth in The Calling series is an intriguing and mesmerizing read.

Diana and Ryder face the most difficult choice of all, turn Diana or risk losing her and the baby, even if the wrath of the council means he will face death at the hand of their friend Michaela. An FBI agent, Michaela has long searched for the vampire that killed her mother, but since meeting FBI Director Jesus, she’s lost a bit of her edge imagining a life of happiness and passion.  Now the hunter has become the hunted and her new found friends and love r are risk and now Ryder and her both must make the difficult decision to break the rules for love.

This steady to fast paced plot is full suspense, emotional angst, romance and action.  The author brings the world to life with vivid images and strong compelling characters that grab the reader’s attention and doesn’t let go. She also adds some extra spice with some unexpected twist. The author brings all the characters together in a way that highlights their differences and personalities and makes for a passionate story that captures the emotions as well as the imagination and makes it feel as if the reader is part of the story.

The attraction between Michaela and Jesus radiates from the pages and the sex scenes sizzle with passion but the relationship has some bumps as Michaela tries to reconcile her professional life with her new found ability to care.  The reader can easily relate to all the characters and their situations which add depth to this riveting tale of vengeance, friendships and true love.

The author has created a fantastic paranormal world that I fell in love with in the very first Calling book and has continued to the Reborn novels and this one has certainly lived up to expectations. I can’t wait for the next one and see where this new development takes the council.
