Meg is a blood prophet....her prophecies are released by cutting into her skin, and her skin is worth millions. Before escaping from her controller, he would sell a "cut" to wealthy men who wanted to know the future. Now she is on the run and she seeks shelter amongst the Others. A community of werewolves, vampires, elementals and other supernatural creatures.
But the controller wants her back and has dispatched hunters to find her. As the threat against her circles she finds allies amongst the others, but with the human government pressuring for her return and the Others just as determined to shelter her, war seems inevitable.
This book is too long. A good set-up and the ending is amazing, but seriously, divide the book into three and throw out the entire middle section. All the elements for a 5 Star book are present except a vicious edit.

"Faith Hunter's Shattered Bonds and Mark Henwick's Inside Straight are both out tomorrow. Can't start anything new so rereading this because I've already read many times and I don't mind walking away part of the way through."

Thanks Irene. I thought it was a bit long, but when it was good it was very good.
