"With just one touch, Jessa Bellamy can see anyone-s darkest secrets, thanks to whoever tampered with her genes. What she doesn-t know is that a biotech company has discovered her talent and intends to kill her and harvest her priceless DNA.Gaven Matthias is forced to abduct Jessa himself so he can protect her, but Jessa has a hard time believing the one man whose secrets she can-t read. As a monstrous assassin closes in and forces them to run, Jessa will have to find another way to discover if Matthias is her greatest ally-or her deadliest enemy."


I just finished this book and absolutely loved it. Read it in only two sittings and hate that I didn't make it last as now I have to wait till June for my next fix. There are few series that I read as they come out. I tend to collect 3 or 4 in a series and read all at once and then come back later to read the next couple. The Darkyn series is one that has not allowed me to do this. This is a series that must be read in order and you really need to read the Darkyn line before starting the Kyndred line or you will miss so much of the rich history that Viehl has invented. Thank you Lynn for another book that has allowed me escape on a mini vacation in my mind. This is definitely a 5 star book.
