Short description

Becca's gone, but Ava still has deals hanging over her head, and she has the scars to prove it. Her questions lead her to the past: hers, Peter's, even the twins, and what is revealed will change everything. With some new friends by her side and new enemies on her back, it's time for Ava to play the Council at their own brutal game.

Extended description

Book four in the Ava Delaney series. Approx. 78k words. Unsuitable for younger teens.

It’s been months since Ava fooled the British vampires and dealt with Becca for good, but although life has been easier, it’s not without its problems. Her deal with the twins is physically harming her, Peter’s grasp on his sanity is tentative to say the least, Carl is struggling, and Esther is losing her edge.

Ava’s been asking too many questions in an attempt to fulfil her various deals, but her persistence turns out to be the biggest problem. She’s not the only one asking questions, but somebody wants her to stop, and finding out who’s in charge is a lot harder than taking care of her new houseguest.

To survive, on her own terms, Ava must take control of her own destiny for a change. That might involve swallowing her pride and accepting help from those she doesn’t trust because there are new foes on the horizon, and the number of people needing her protection keeps on increasing.

Loved it. I have read all 4 books and am now looking forward to #5. It all started when I needed something to read, I went to ibooks and looked for a vampire series. I just couldn't stand what had happened to the Anita Blake series. It's just awful now. The first book was free so what did I have to lose, little did I know that I would love the Ava Delaney series. I was concerned when Claire Ferrell moved to Smashwords, but they offer PayPal and the download was very simple and it's a interesting site. Thanks Claire I love your writing style.

Another excellent Ava Delaney book. I just love this series! This story is much more complicated & some of the tail ends are being tied up, but much more is still left unanswered/revealed, which I love as this means there will be more books in this series! The budding relationship between Ava & Peter is great to see. An exciting & thrilling read, for lovers of vampire genre. Defo recommend this book!!!
