BOOK DESCRIPTION

Skye Walters thought waking up on the side of a river with no memory was her biggest problem. She had no idea that the man who had saved her from drowning, the man she now depended on, Aiden, was more than mere mortal. A warrior of ancient.

No memory, nowhere to go, Skye stays in the mountain town, only to discover she herself, has unexplained powers. Her life, her destiny, are soon out of her control, as are her feelings for Aiden. The deeper Skye gets sucked into Aiden’s hidden world, the more the past, and who she really is, threatens her future, her love, her sanity.

After a kayaking accident results in a head injury, Skye Walters awakens with no memory of who she is, who the man that's staring at her is, and why she would go kayaking when she instinctively knows she's scared of water. Aiden knows Skye isn't faking her lack of memory and he knows that Skye is special. Aiden isn't a mere man, he's a retired supernatural warrior. Aiden takes his responsibility for Skye seriously and he knows he has to hurry and make sure that Skye can protect herself, because once the rest of the supernatural community is aware of her, she'll be in grave danger as she possesses a power capable of throwing off the balance between good and evil.

This is a diamond to have found on the freebie lists, as this is a very well written and engaging story. I really didn't want to give away too much in my plot synopsis (which I don't feel does justice to the story), because every reveal the book gives is a really big part of the fun for this.

Skye and Aiden are fabulous characters, rich and personal. Their chemistry is palpable and their struggle is heartbreaking. The secondary characters Charlotte and Triaten are equally engaging, and I hope the author has plans for future books with them. The politics of the community were interesting as well as their issues with "half-breeds." The fighting and training were well done and the love scenes between Skye and Aiden are very classy and not ostentatious. This author has a real talent for setting the atmosphere consistently throughout and creating a natural line of dialog.

If I had any problems with this, it would be a minor complaint. I did feel that the author relied heavily on characters withholding information at several points in the book. There were a few times where it just felt very convenient, and with the relationships that the four of these characters had as friends, it didn't feel right.

I was overall very impressed with this book and would happily recommend it.
