Tainted
About this book
Tainted by demon blood Damned for eternity Destined to save the world? Isobel is plagued by nightmares, apocalyptic visions where she burns alive and the world burns with her, visions that blacken her eyes and push her to the edge of madness. With her nightmares worsening, Isobel has no one to turn to, until she discovers her regular customer Jake suffers recurring nightmares eerily similar to her own. Already drawn to the taciturn Jake, Isobel discovers an irresistible attraction between them and soon finds herself falling in love. But, their blossoming romance is threatened by the arrival of Ramona, a sexy and provocative woman claiming to be an angel. Instinctively sceptical of Ramona’s claims, Isobel instantly dislikes her, not least because Jake is clearly unable to take his eyes off the new girl. But Ramona explains many things, revealing the pair’s true nature. Part God’s children, part Lucifer’s their blood is the key to preventing Armageddon and stopping the entire world descending into Hell. Blinded by mistrust and her own troubled past, Isobel is reluctant to accept Ramona’s far-fetched story, driving a wedge between herself and Jake, who readily believes. When Jake disappears Isobel is forced into an uneasy alliance with Ramona as they search for him while hunting the demons who are attempting to hasten the end of days. Their journey leads Isobel deep into her past forcing her to face her own demons, including her tyrannical and abusive mother. Isobel tries to resist the changes going on inside and around her, but after witnessing the incredible power her blood wields she is forced to accept the truth. Eventually she lets go of her dark, tortured past and embraces her destiny. As the war between Heaven and Hell rages around her and the bodies pile up, Isobel becomes the heroine she was always meant to be, willing to sacrifice everything to save her lover and the world itself from damnation… but is she already too late?
