Branded by AmberDariano at Inkitt

Summary

In a city where immortals walk among mortals, Addilyn McKee enforces the law that keeps the fragile peace intact. As an Immortal Officer, she’s trained to hunt monsters. She never expected to become the object of one’s obsession. Draven Novoa is beautiful, brilliant, and utterly lethal—an immortal serial killer who doesn’t just evade capture… he chooses his prey. When Addilyn takes the lead on his case, his attention shifts to her, drawing her into a dangerous game of pursuit, temptation, and twisted desire. Still haunted by the brutal murders of her parents and brother, Addilyn refuses to let another monster destroy what’s left of her life. But as another unseen enemy rises—one powerful enough to erase immortals completely—the lines between good and evil, hunter and hunted, begin to blur. Pulled between duty and a connection she knows could damn her, Addilyn must decide how far she’s willing to fall to protect both worlds… and whether the man who wants her most is the one who will ultimately destroy her. Because some monsters don’t just kill. They claim. Branded is available on Amazon!
