With the couple next door, nothing is as it seems. Jeremy Booth leads a simple life, scraping by in the gay neighborhood of Seattle, never letting his lack of material things get him down. But the one thing he really wantsâsomeone to loveâseems elusive. Until the couple next door moves in and Jeremy sees the man of his dreams, Shane McCallister, pushed down the stairs by a brute named Cole. Jeremy would never go after another man's boyfriend, so he reaches out to Shane in friendship while suppressing his feelings of attraction. But the feeling of something being off only begins with Cole being a hard-fisted bullyâit ends with him seeming to be different people at different times. Some days, Cole is the mild-mannered John and then, one night in a bar, he's the sassy and vivacious drag queen Vera. So how can Jeremy rescue the man of his dreams from a situation that seems to get crazier and more dangerous by the day? By getting close to the couple next door, Jeremy not only puts a potential love in jeopardy, but eventually his very life. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Pierce, at first glance, is an immature twenty-eight-year-old with self-confidence issues now that his younger brothers have become more powerful than he is. He seems power hungry and believes that being dominant at all times is the way to show strength. Pierce is supposed to take over as high priest of the family once his father steps down though, so the pressure on him is significant. As the story develops, it becomes clear that much of his posturing is insecurity and fear. What he has to learn is how to deal with that and become a worthy successor, while also figuring out the sudden increase in his power – electricity – that he has no control over at first. Quite a tall order!
Kale does not have an easy time of it. His king has made him an emissary to the Conclave, the ruling body of all warlocks, wizards, and witches. The shifters desperately need help dealing with a mysterious virus that is decimating their numbers, but shifters and magical beings have not gotten along for a very long time. Then Kale gets injured when Pierce loses control of his power, he has no idea whom to trust, and the urgency increases the longer they’re trying to figure out what to do to prevent the worst from happening.
Pierce and Kale’s relationship, as expected, does not develop easily and they have to overcome a few obstacles. Pierce learns and changes a lot and I loved watching that, but the way his powers grow I found really fascinating. There is more than enough adventure, with some old enemies reappearing, new ones popping up, and the ongoing threat of the plague-virus doesn’t make things easy either. And based on the ending, I am sure there is even more to come –and I can’t wait.
If you like the world of the Warlock Brothers of Havenbridge, if you enjoy stories where characters have lots to learn, if action/adventure and an exciting quest are your things, and if you’re looking for a read full of mystery, suspense, revelations, and interesting characters, then you will probably like this novel as much as I do. I am so glad number four is about to be released.
