City of Gods and Monsters

More about the book

Welcome to Angelthene, a city where humans struggle to survive among vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural beings. Loren Calla, an ordinary human, believes her life will remain simple and safe until she narrowly escapes an abduction by Darkslayers—supernatural bounty hunters with the ability to see a person's aura. When one of her friends is taken in her place, the abductors demand Loren's life for her friend's safe return. Determined to rescue her friend, Loren reluctantly seeks help from Darien Cassel, the feared leader of the Seven Devils, a notorious Darkslaying circle. Darien, who specializes in hunting down dangerous demons, finds himself protecting Loren instead of turning her in for a reward, realizing she poses no threat. As they work together, Loren grapples with her growing feelings for Darien while trying to stay focused on the mission. Their search intensifies as more women go missing and some turn up dead, leading them into Angelthene's dark underbelly, where they uncover a secret that could unravel their world. In the face of tragedy, Loren discovers that love can inspire ordinary people to perform extraordinary deeds.
