Synopsis (Goodreads):
The great mage Houses battle for control of magekind as the modern world plunges into Shadow...Thoughts on Soul Kissed: The Dark Age is coming and there are those (like Kaye) who want to work with the Light to keep things from going totally ballistic and then there are the others (the powerful houses) who are planning on ruling over their own personal fiefdoms in a way that will likely not benefit humans. Cari is caught somewhere between. At least at first. When the plague takes her father and nearly kills her, she's suddenly the head of Dolan house and that comes with...intricacies.
When a fatal plague sweeps through magekind, no one born with Shadow in their blood is immune to its ravages. At the mage Council's bidding, Cari Dolan, scion of her House, and Mason Stray, an outcast seeking refuge for his young son, are tasked with identifying the fiend responsible.
Together, they track the killer with Cari’s rare aptitude to see into the past, while Mason uses his craftsman’s gift of ingenuity with magic to protect her. Trust is nearly impossible between them, but both remember a breathless moment long ago, when things could’ve been different.
As they grow ever closer to their quarry, Mason and Cari cannot deny their growing connection and the desire burning between them. But a true partnership is hopeless. She is a daughter of wealth, privilege, and power, while he has been forced to make dark deals with magekind to merely survive.
Beset by dangers on every side, the hunt leads them into the darkest of futures, between fractured alliances and growing fear. The fae creep ever closer to crossing into the mortal world. And Cari and Mason are at the center of the tumult. Will their incendiary union be their salvation…or their doom?
Thanks to her surviving the plague, she's also tapped (by Kaye) to head the investigation on where it came from. Paired with her? Mason Stray. Who survived the plague for reasons that have nothing to do with a hearty constitution and everything to do with his uniqueness amongst magekind.
And, yes, Mason is unique. He's also a worried father who is willing to do anything to keep his son safe. Including pairing up with Cari, who he had a moment with years ago and who is now the head of a very powerful house. Considering he's a stray, things are a little tense when they start out.
Dark power, rogue angels, alliances, powerful fae, death (and also Death), familiar faces, dangerous times, a man who will cross any line to see his son survive, and a lady who has a slew of secrets suddenly revealed to her. *thumbs up*
