Soul Kissed

Kellison’s second Shadow Kissed paranormal (after Fire Kissed) will satisfy fans of her world of mages and angels. Cari Dolan just became the head of her household after her father fell victim to a devastating plague sweeping through the mage population. Still reeling from his death and the unexpected power that she inherits, Cari reluctantly agrees to join forces with Mason Stray, a mage without a house, who has the ability to help her track down whoever started the plague. Mason has his own reasons for helping Cari: his son’s well-being is contingent on him ferreting out Cari’s corporate secrets and reporting them to her rival. However, Mason finds himself working both sides, as he cannot deny his long-held attraction to Cari. Ellison is careful to explain key elements for new readers while not dragging out exposition. Agent: Jessica Faust, BookEnds. (Sept.)
