They’ll do anything to protect her… as long as they never learn her secret.
I’m Officer Essie Shaw, and I shouldn’t exist. If anyone finds out their friendly neighborhood beat cop is a nephilim — public enemy number one — I’ll be imprisoned. Or worse, dissected. I survive by keeping my head down and my barely-there magic under wraps.
But when I lose a fight with a strange, smoke-like wraith, I’m confronted with my worst nightmare. A Joined Parliament Team of Agents — supernatural monster hunters who’d arrest me in a heartbeat if they knew the truth — a no-nonsense angel whose mere gaze captures my soul, a vampire with a breathtaking bite, an incubus with enticing hellfire in his eyes, and, worst of all, my smoldering-hot ex-partner, turned werewolf thanks to my rookie mistake.
This wraith has been picking off veterans of the recently won war against the archangel Michael, and the bodies are piling up. My unwanted connection to it, along with the team’s skills, could be the key to trapping it in magical stasis. Question is, am I strong enough to serve as bait, while keeping the secret that could brand me their enemy?
Destined Darkness is the first book in the Nephilim’s Destiny series, an action-packed full-length paranormal romance with four irresistible guys and a kick-ass heroine who doesn’t have to choose.

This book is anything but light. It is full of drama, heartache, action and romance. It is a great read that takes you on a very smooth roller coaster ride with emotions going up and down throughout the entire book. It will also have you sitting at the edge of your seat waiting for the outcome or what will happen next.
At first, I was a bit annoyed at how helpless and almost too much of a damsel in distress Essie was, but after everything was said and done, it made sense on how she reacted. Even the strongest have their limits. She was thrown in to obstacles left, right and center with barely any time to breath in between. Then add all the other ‘events’ that happened in between would make anyone crack at the simplest pressure added.
I’m really itching to know what happens next with Essie and the rest of the team. I can’t wait to find out what happens with Marcus and Gideon and the rest of the guys when they find out about Essie’s true nature.
