Born in Blood

To find a brutal killer, a copy must team up a woman who can read the final thoughts of the dead in this paranormal romance series opener.Enter the dark world of the Sentinels-humans cast out due to their special abilities, treading the line between life and death, good and evil, pleasure and pain . . .Sergeant Duncan O'Conner has seen it all before. Beautiful erotic dancer, murdered at home, no suspect, no motive. But there's one clue: she's missing her heart. It's enough to make the hard-bitten Kansas City cop enlist the help of a necro-one of the dead-channeling freaks who live in the domed city of nearby Valhalla. It's a long shot, but desperate crimes call for desperate measures.Unlike the other 'high-bloods' in Valhalla, Callie Brown considers her abilities a gift, not a curse. But when she reads the dancer's final thoughts, she senses a powerful presence blocking her vision. This is no ordinary homicide. This is the work of a legendary necromancer who controls souls. A ravenous force that will put Callie's skills to the test, O'Conner's career at risk, and both their hearts on the line . . . literally.Praise for New York Times-bestselling Author Alexandra Ivy'Beyond the Darkness kept me riveted!
