This is a very dark story and not my favorite in the Jaguar series. You should read the others first or you may be lost.

Jaden DaCosta is a Jaguar Warrior who had a one night stand with Julian Castile 3 years ago that resulted in Jaden claiming him as her mate. But the DaCostas and Castiles are mortal enemies and Julian rejected her when he realized who she was. Then he disappeaared 6 months ago along with Declan O'Hara, trapped in Hell being tortured and losing bits of their souls.

Now they are back and on a mission to find Aziel, the fallen angel who opened a portal to the Otherworld. They have a short time to accomplish this or lose their souls forever and to definitely not inform anyone what they are doing. Oh and Declan has his own agenda to find and destroy his father Cormac O'Hara.

Of Course Jaden and Julian meet almost immediately and the "love you/hate you" begins. They have major trust issues and can't seem to work together even with the same goal. They continually say horrible things to each other while giving in to the mating heat affecting them both. This went on for 200 pages while they search for clues, fight demons and deal with disfunctional families.

The last 100 pages are action packed as the PATU teams head for Las Vegas to confront Cormac O'Hara (who has been holding Aziel captive and torturing him to reveal the portal) with his black magic, demons and hellhounds. We also learn about the mysterious "Bill" who released Julian and Declan from Hell. And when it looks like they may not survive the battle, Jaden and Julian declare their undying love. Sigh, finally.

Okay, the ending was somewhat satisfying and the Epilogue leads right into the next series, The League of Guardians.
