Embracing the Demon (Dale Highland Book 2)
by Beth Woodward
“Embracing The Demon is fun, sexy urban fantasy that will appeal to readers looking for a strong female lead. Dale Highland is kickass and snarky, the plot is dark and twisty, and the action sequences are top-notch.”
—Rysa Walker, author of the Delphi Trilogy
Dale Highland never wanted to be a demon.
Dale Highland’s a superpowered half demon with a rapid healing factor and a killer temper. On the run from her past, she suddenly finds herself in the crosshairs of the Zeta Coalition, an anti-supernatural militant group.
They want her dead. She wants to know why.
Dale’s investigation brings her face-to-face with her arch-nemesis: John Goodwin, master assassin and leader of a deadly guild of angels called the Thrones.
Dale and John have history—they were lovers until he betrayed her.
John brings word of a mysterious illness that’s infecting the supernatural. Deducing that the Zeta Coalition is behind it, Dale proposes a plan to infiltrate the Zetas’ upper echelons to find the cure.
But by the time Dale and John figure out the Zeta Coalition’s real intentions, it may be too late.
Praise
“What a rush! This sexy, intense page-turner swept me away!”
“Embracing the Demon felt both darker and somehow more transcendent than Dale’s introductory story. The plot’s focus on one group against a perceived “other” resonates in the current political climate, yet is universal enough to feel timeless. The final paragraphs left my heart in my stomach, but I also need to know how Dale will face the latest revelation. Can she continue to embrace her humanity while facing the challenge of protecting the demons who look to her as Amara’s successor?”
“Embracing The Demon is fun, sexy urban fantasy that will appeal to readers looking for a strong female lead. Dale Highland is kickass and snarky, the plot is dark and twisty, and the action sequences are top-notch.”
“Embracing The Demon is a thrilling, sexy, dangerous ride of a book. Count me as Team Dale, one hundred percent.”
