Finding the Lost

November 1, 2009
Ever since horrible monsters called the Synestryn murdered her mother, kidnapped her youngest sister, and drove her other sister to madness, Andra Madison has rescued other children they have taken. One night, while attempting a rescue in a deserted warehouse, she is outmatched until three seemingly human men show up and dispatch the monster, but not soon enough to save the kidnapped childs mind. One of the men, however, offers to heal the boy, which gives Andra hope for her sister Nika, who is dying, and soon the two sisters are in a hidden community. Paul, a Theronai, who has lived for centuries, is near the end of his days unless he finds a mate, and it appears Andra may be the one hes been seeking. But if she refuses to bond with him, hell die. Second in the nonsequential Sentinel Wars series, this exerts much the same appeal as Christine Feehans Carpathian series, what with tortured heroes, the necessity of finding love or facing a fate worse than death, hot lovemaking, and danger-filled adventure.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
