Description
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.

        November 4, 2013
        Bestseller Ivy (the Guardians of Eternity series) launches her new Sentinels series with a romance between sensitive diviner Callie Bowen and brash Kansas City, Kans., cop Duncan O’Conner. Callie usually resides in the protected dome called Valhalla, whose superpowered inhabitants are guarded by Sentinel warriors when visiting the magic-wary outside world. Callie and Duncan often work on murder cases together, his mundane skills enhanced by her abilities to psychically tap into victims’ last moments. After Callie glimpses an unknown necromancer, both the police and Valhalla launch further investigations. Callie and Duncan are both hesitant about emotional commitments—Callie due to inexperience, and Duncan due to his recent divorce—but that doesn’t diminish their sexual connection. The story arc is a bit thin for the length, but Ivy’s fans will be invested in the development of romances introduced between supporting characters as well as further building of this conflicted universe. Agent: Evan Marshall, Evan Marshall Agency.
