Brynna had enough to worry about with the Hunters still after her and her determination to evade them and stay out of Hell forever. She had escaped in hopes of finding redemption; she didn’t need the complication of falling into a relationship with a man she could never truly have, a man who was investigating a murder she had witnessed along with a series of others. It would be her luck to be the main witness to the murder of a nephilim but to find out that she might have more of a connection to the case than she ever imagined was not good—not good at all.

Eran Redmond should not have believed the impossible story the witness told him. She had already lied to him about who she was and where she was from, how could he even begin to believe her story about demons, fallen angels, and nephilim? It just was not possible. The woman, no matter how temptingly seductive to him, was off her rocker.

A random act drops Brynna into the position of protector of the lives of a family with a young and talented nephilim who has yet to complete her destiny for HIM. Taking a job as an interpreter, thanks to her knowledge of language and the suggestion of Eran, Brynna tries to stay out of the path of Lucifer’s Hunters but finds herself entangled in another of Eran’s investigations. Helping to find a missing girl, Brynna stumbles on a connection to the people randomly being murdered across the city—a connection that threatens more than just her own life and her quest for redemption.

Intriguing, fresh, exciting, suspenseful, and captivating all describe Highborn. This story held my imagination and my attention as Brynna fights to save the young nephilim, one born of an angel father and a human mother, as well as her own desire for redemption while evading the clutches of those that would pull her back to Hell. Brynna was one strong, kick-ass heroine. Even the burn of Hellfire could not stop her. Eran was the strong, silent type hero. He fought when he had to, but with a demon as a girlfriend who had more than her share of “super” powers, he did not need to be the Alpha of the relationship to make this story work. In fact, I loved that he was more of a Beta. It worked. If you are looking for something with a lot of romance, sex and violence, you will only get a taste of the first two but be more than fulfilled with the quantity of the last. The storyline was pure adrenaline. It, like Brynna, kicked ass. I am hoping that the next book in the series is just as fantastic, and I have a good feeling that I will not be disappointed.
