But they fail, and the fifth Bound One is released, fulfilling his vengeful dreams formed over his long imprisonment. Phoenyx and her friends band together for one last fight, and one of them will pay the ultimate price.

She can kill with one look, but he’s the only one who can save her. Lorelei always believed she was cursed. Not only can she see the ghosts of the world all around her, she can pull a person’s soul right out of their body—a skill that comes in handy when you’re the adopted daughter of the crime boss of Las Vegas. But Lorelei wants a new life, one where she can help people rather than kill, so she runs away and invents a new identity as a medical student at a university. Everything is great, until the mysterious and sexy stranger Killian shows up. If it weren’t enough that she dreamt about him her whole life, watched him die a thousand times in her sleep, he also gives off a powerful otherworldly vibe that scares the heck out of her. Strange things start happening, and it becomes clear that she’s being haunted, but by what she doesn’t know. Is Killian a ghost? A demon? Something worse? And why is she so irresistibly drawn to him? Her journey of self-discovery in this dark and twisted romance leads her to the most amazing and terrifying truth—she is the only one who can save the world, not just for the living, but also for the dead. While this book is the fourth in the Bound Ones Series, it can be read by itself without any knowledge of the first three. less
