Bedeviled by Sable Grace
She has done the unthinkable—turned her best friend into a dark breed: part Vampyre, Lychen and Witch . . .

Kyana thought only to save her friend’s life when she fed Haven her blood; instead, she created a monster. Now the woman she thought of as a sister is under the spell of an ancient, vengeful god, determined to set him free and wreak havoc on the mortal world . . . and only Kyana can stop her.

But time is running out. In just seven days, Kyana’s Vampyre and Lychen abilities will be gone and she’ll be completely transformed into the Goddess of the Hunt—and her blood ties to Haven will be severed. By her side is Ryker—ally, demigod, lover— who will sacrifice everything to keep Kyana safe . . . even the attraction that burns between them. Together they have one chance to save Haven from herself . . . to save humanity from hell on earth.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 4 Rose Read

BEDEVILED is my first Sable Grace read, and I have to say I'm impressed. It's hard-hitting, intense, and most definitely a page turner. While blending elements of paranormal standbys like vampires and werewolves with Greek gods isn't exactly ground-breaking (think Sherrilyn Kenyon), it takes on a completely different skin here.  

Again, I haven't read the previous offerings in the Dark Breed series, but it doesn't seem to matter as BEDEVILED is great at tying up the past with the present. I really like the dark elements and the fantasy edge to it. The romantic aspect is more hot than romantic, but it works with the intensity of the story. There is plenty of violence and some graphic elements too, so some scenes may be hard to stomach. Despite that, the magical scenes with the gods of Olympus and awful dark beings near the ending...Wow! What a truly gifted writer Grace is!

Filled with the most imaginative characters and unparalleled plot, BEDEVILED is not to be missed.
