Bess and Cesar were born to be enemies. Half-blood descendants of two ancient and powerful spirits, their two races have been at odds since a war left both sides filled with hatred and distrust. When they both find themselves at the scene of a grisly death in the forest and the possible discovery of a new race, they find themselves stragely drawn to each other. Agreeing to work together to find more information on the strange death, they struggle to keep the sexual tension building between them from coming out.

The story was captivating. The perfect mix of suspence, paranormal, and romance. As Bess and Cesar discover more about each other's past, as well as their present, the feeling between them don't go away as they hoped - but only grow stronger. Their romance is far from perfect. They both have secrets in the past, and the fued between their two races stands in their way on every step they take and on every page of the book.

The Lakota legends and spirits that are a part of the story were great to read about. I never knew how rich the stories were until now. The ancient spirits are introduced in a way that made them familiar and easy to relate to as well. Their personalities were quite entertaining in their own way.

The ending summed up so many things very nicely, but left enough open for potentially a sequel (although I haven't seen anything about one being released, but I hope they do). If not, I have just enough to imagine what they might do next.
