Meniari has fallen in love with Kya, but all bets are off when his ex, a former Sanctum warrior, shows up with ideas of rekindling the fire that once burned between them.

Meniari has fallen in love with Kya, but all bets are off when his ex, a former Sanctum warrior, shows up with ideas of rekindling the fire that once burned between them. Tamuel has come to the Sanctum too, along with his rebellious guiding angel, Kellan. He’s finally received permission to return to the angelic realms - as long as Miriel agrees to crush his heart to end his mortal life. Kellan’s onboard with that, because he can’t have his wings back until Tam dies. The only obstacle is Amaya… and Tam’s mysterious fascination with Circe’s former lover.

While Miri and Andrieu grapple with circumstances at the Sanctum, Fortune and his Demesne warriors are carrying out Ilea’s orders to clean up the haven’s clubs in Saint Rushton. Things are going well, until Circe sends Maksim and his vampires to Saint Rushton. Sabotage and spying are the games, but the players get more than they bargained for, after Circe receives a photo of Amaya on Tamuel’s arm. Overwhelmed with bloodlust and fury, she breaks human and vampiric law, causing dire consequences.

As dangerous conflicts arise in the havens, Saan meets Sebastien’s first Mate, Sabine, in the hereafter. He may think his work in the realm of the living is done, but Sabine brings him a surprising plea for help. Can he reach out to the male who allowed his death?

Bound by threads from the past and the hereafter, shocking events unfold that will bring warriors to their knees and test the courage of angels.

Sanctum Illusions: Shadow Havens Book 4 contains descriptive material and scenes of explicit sexual encounters between consenting male and female adult characters. It is intended for adult readers only.

Approximately 117,000 words.

The fourth installation of the Shadow Havens series is chock full of surprises and plot twists. It contains several storylines that will all lead up to a powder keg of events in the next book. While the main focus of the book is on Kya and Meniari and their growing relationship, we also get to see a lot of Circe and Sebastien, Tamuel and Amya, Rachel and Fortune, Xavier and Ilea, and finally Sebastien’s first mate Sabine. The subplots of all these supporting characters give the story a wonderful The fourth installation of the Shadow Havens series is chock full of surprises and plot twists. It contains several storylines that will all lead up to a powder keg of events in the next book. While the main focus of the book is on Kya and Meniari and their growing relationship, we also get to see a lot of Circe and Sebastien, Tamuel and Amya, Rachel and Fortune, Xavier and Ilea, and finally Sebastien’s first mate Sabine. The subplots of all these supporting characters give the story a wonderful depth and dimension. It also helps propel the story forward by building an almost obscene level of anticipation for what will come next.

Kya and Meniari have found happiness with each other that they never dreamed possible. That dream is shattered when one of Meniari’s exes shows up determined to win him back. With the help of Xavier and Fortune, Ilea is trying to clean up Sebastien’s clubs. Tamuel comes to the Grey’s to end his life, but once he meets Amaya, he struggles with returning to the angelic realm or staying with the one woman who has touched his heart. Circe’s strange request for Sebastien’s body at the end of Sanctum Retribution is brought to light. Her obsession with him and plot to avenge his death brings trouble to Saint Rushton that neither Haven could anticipate. All of this converges into an almost unbearable level of tension while the danger to everyone involved reaches a fever pitch. The alliance between the Havens forged by the Greys and Ilea is highlighted as they join forces to help protect each other from Circe and her demented plan for revenge.

While book four does start out a little slow, once the pace picks up it, it moves at a blistering pace that will leave readers flipping the pages late into the night, because they will not be able to put it down until it ends. This one does end on more of a cliffhanger than the previous books, but that will only make you want to run out and pick up book five immediately. Sanctum Illusions is an awesome addition to the series! ...more

Back to the happenings of the Sanctum and Demanse and its Angels, Daemons, Demons, Vampires, Weres and humans. Have I said before how much I absolutely adore this series? There are so many supernaturals to intrigue us, and intrigue you they do.

As with the entire series there is a lot going on in this installment, you have psycho ex-girlfriends stirring up trouble, the partially dead being forced to face facts, viscous attacks with mortal consequences being planned out, love blossoming, pasts r ...more

Book four of the "Shadow Havens" series is too grand of a showing to sum up in a review, and you can read the description for yourself, so I won't go over that again.

--My thoughts:
With a style that reminds me of Nalini Singh, I have loved this series since Priana hoped that she wouldn't die in her underwear, in the very first book, and each book gets better and better.

--One of my favorite quotes:
"Rachel wondered suddenly why all of the supernaturals were so beautiful. Why did they all have such ...more
