After five years on the run, Sunday has finally settled into a seemingly normal life in Columbia, South Carolina. What her two best friends don’t know is that Sunday has a secret past. She is the Incarnate, a conduit of mystical energy transcendent of the mundane and the divine. For most of her life, she served under Bernadette, the most powerful witch in the Northwest. Her power is terrifying, and what she remembers of her past—and what she doesn’t—haunts her.

In the year that she’s been attempting to be anything but the Incarnate, Sunday has fought her abilities tooth and nail, but it’s been worth it. When Sunday joins her friends’ coven for an innocent gathering, Sunday discovers a darkness hidden beneath the blanket of the coven’s magic and she is determined to find out who is behind it and what she has planned.

For the last four years, Cyrus has been the point man on the contract to recapture the Incarnate and deliver her to the Pastophori of Iset. A gifted tracker and a fearless werewolf, he harbors a wild, inexplicable passion for the Incarnate that has driven him to hunt her. He was one of the original captors that brought her to Bernadette when his obsession with her began. Having found her, Cyrus and his pack find themselves torn between two objectives: take her by force and deliver her to yet another group of fanatics, or help her uncover the traitor among her coven.

Review

From the very first chapter I was hooked to this book! Surprising, fun, and so different from the other paranormal books that I’ve read. Cristy Rey does an excellent job with bringing the characters to life and portraying the scenes with such finesse and details, it makes the book feel “real”.

The story starts off with Sunday, a witch on the run. She has amazing and kick ass mutha-effin powers and is the Incarnate. She’s kept herself hidden away for years and somehow ends up diving right back into the world of magic; with the help of her besties. Filled with suspense, drama, and hard hitting action; this book has it all! Then there is Cyrus, the werewolf that is sent to hunt down Sunday and bring her back to the Coven. Wheewwww!! Cyrus is hot, hot, hot! I loved him so much. Tortured soul with always wanting to do the right thing and make up for his past mistakes.

The instant and undeniable attraction between Sunday and Cyrus melted my heart. I felt for them both and I admired the fact that they both had their priorities; to save their friends, their family, and each other. The writing was on point and very descriptive; at some points I felt I was watching a movie. When all else fails, who do you turn to?

Overall, this was a fantastic read and as a HUGE paranormal fan, I am definitely going to recommend this book to all of my friends! Amazing debut and I can’t wait for more!
