Possessed By The Fallen
Sharon Ashwood
Harlequin Nocturne, Jul 1 2015, $5.75
ISBN: 9780373009497
Their peers at the Company of the Dead assume field agents Jessica
Lark the fashion designing fey and Jack “Death” Anderson the vampire died
fighting the forces of the dark. Instead
the former lovers must trust and rely on one another to enable the pivotal
wedding between enemy kingdoms to occur.
Unable to move passed “fool me once, it's her fault, but fool me twice
is my fault”; Jack has overwhelming doubts of teaming with the woman who
stabbed him (see Possessed By A Warrior).
Their adversaries know that by preventing the marriage of Crown
Prince Kyle of Vidon and Princess Amelie of Marcari, they keep alive the lethal
status quo; while nuptials followed by an heir and a spare will cement an
alliance the dark fey do not want.
However, the stakes intensify when the darkness abduct Princess
Amelie. More than ever Jack and Jessica
need to unite to rescue the kidnapped royal.
The fourth Les Compagnie des Morts
romantic fantasy is an engaging thriller in which much of the focus is on the
dangerous rescue and the returns of doubting (with strong reasons) partners. Like the previous three entries (see Possessed
By An Immortal and Possessed By A Wolf), fast-paced but also highlighted by the
dysfunctional relationship between Death and the designer Fey who betrayed him,
readers once again feel possessed by Sharon Ashwood’s fabulous finish.
