With no memory of how or when she was abducted, Autumn finds herself sold at an auction to a beast that has trouble reining in his bloodlust. When his fangs fixate on her friend and then begin to turn to her, too, Autumn has little choice but to trust the midnight-black alien that helps her take down the beast. Even if it means getting blood on her own hands. Coming to terms that she's falling in love with a bona-fide extraterrestrial takes less convincing than she'd expected, but she's not clear of the danger yet--and just when she starts to feel safe, she'll find there are still beasts lurking. THEY'VE HAD A TASTE, AND WANT MORE. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*.

My husband took away my phone so I would go to sleep XD I haven’t cried this much over a book in a while and it’s not even published yet! The men are so devoted to her, even the ones that aren’t in a romantic relationship with her. ” - Trena. "Damn, this author went all out! ! This is even more elaborate that Ruby Dixon's works! It's incredibly impressive! When I saw there were pronunciation guides and explanations of every race and language and stuff, I was literally blown away. I don't think I've come across anyone else this studious in their writing. Can't wait for Autumn's next sequel, and to read more from Relken. Amazing! !" - Melissa. “If you want to fall in love with a fictional character, there is no better than Equinox. Caring, loving, reads you like an open book and allows you to grow.
