As the small town of Storyville tears itself apart and the residents turn on each other, Cora sees the worst in humanity. Voices whisper in the back of her mind, telling her that perhaps Uriel and Sandra aren’t entirely wrong. That perhaps the darkness bleeding across the world has spread too far and can’t be reined in. She recognizes that she—and humanity as a whole—is being tested. Judged. And she begins to fear that perhaps humanity is beyond saving. That it is beyond redemption.
The world is on fire and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. And with the Apocalypse bearing down on them, Cora finds herself in the fight of her life. She has been burdened with powers she never asked for and a destiny she never wanted. But with enemies all around her, Cora doesn’t know who to put her trust in. Or if she can put her trust in anybody at all.
The competing visions for the world and humanity are bleak and Cora finds herself in despair. But from that darkness, Cora sees a path that might allow her to help save the soul of humanity without giving in to the outside forces. She believes it might even allow her to save and redeem her own soul.
The beginning is the end and the secret of the unseen is about to be brought to light. The only question is... Are you ready for the truth behind Storyville?
Elle Gray lives in a small town with her 2 cats, and her handsome husky. As a girl, she was obsessed with crime novels and thrillers.
Today, she loves writing and creating thrilling novels with courageous, strong heroes/heroines and dangerous psychopaths. She invites you to join her exciting world of detectives and FBI agents that take down killers and kick butt.
I like this author quite a bit however this series has gone on way too long. The books started to just drag on. I am a little aggravated that I started it in the first place as now I have to see how it ends in the next book (although I am not going to read it word for word but rather skim through it). Again, I have enjoyed many of this author’s series and would recommend some of them, just not this series of books.
Cora is caught in the middle of two groups of people and trying to come to grips about what to do about them. She uses her new powers but will it be enough for the future of storyville. There was lots of violence and action . Thank you for a great story.
All the paranormal and such is not really my thing but I do enjoy this series overall. This one is a cliffhanger with lots of action. Cora comes off as a little bratty and very indecisive so I enjoyed it less than others.
Surrounded by betrayal and abandonment Cora continues to forge her own path among the warring factions while endeavoring to save her mother, Mayelle, from torture.
I can’t believe I keep reading this junk! Using big words that no one understands and never getting to the story. You sure know how to drag a story out for 5 books! What a waste of time!
The story about all the powers people have certainly made one think that can this happen? To find out who the people were was interesting. Even the FBI partner was involved in trying to get the power.
Another good read by Elle Gray but I must say this one seemed a little drawn out and did not hold my attention quiet like her other ones did. But I must say I will not stop here on to the next one.
This one felt a little stagnant. There was opportunity for more to happen, but there was a lot of rehashing the same rhetoric and discussions multiple times throughout this book.. hopefully the last installment will flow faster/better
I’m not into paranormal readings but once I picked up the first book of the series, I just want to know what happened to Cora. I didn’t want the book to end.
