Chase the Dark

Annette Marie

Book 1 of Steel & Stone

Language: English

Published: Oct 12, 2014

Description:

When everyone wants you dead, good help is really hard to find.

Piper Griffiths wants one thing in life: to become a Consul, a keeper of the peace between humans and daemons. There are three obstacles in her way.

The first is Lyre. Incubus. Hotter than hell and with a wicked streak to match. His greatest mission in life is to annoy the crap out of her, but he isn't as harmless as he seems. The second is Ash. Draconian. Powerful. Dangerous. He knows too much and reveals nothing. Also, disturbingly attractive--and scary. Did she mention scary?

The third is the Sahar Stone. Top secret magical weapon of mass destruction. Previously hidden in her Consulate until thieves broke in, went on a murder spree, and disappeared with the weapon.

And they left Piper to take the fall for their crimes.

Now she's on the run, her dreams of becoming a Consul shattered and every daemon in the city gunning to kill her. She's dead on her own, but there's no one she can trust--no one except two entirely untrustworthy daemons ... See problems one and two.

Review

"A book filled with fun, danger, action, and basically everything that makes urban fantasy delicious. The world building was excellent, leaving us with a vast, detailed and complex world to explore." - I Heart Reading

"This book was very well balanced; it had an awesome world, engaging characters, fantastic action scenes, a well done mystery, and some incredible romantic tension ... If you love urban fantasy you have got to check this series out!" - Hidden in Pages 

"I have found my 'dream' book!" - Pandora's Opened Box

"I could not put it down! It had everything I want to read in a UF - action, great characters, awesome world building, diverse species, secrets and lies, twists and turns and a smidge of romance." - Book Passion For Life

"Wow. Just wow. You know that magical hungry feeling you get when you're reading a great book that's hitting all the right spots? Chase the Dark was that book." - Book Whispers 

"To say that I inhaled this book would be the perfect way to describe it. I LOVED this book! The story was fantastic, characters were unique and ... the chemistry is just coming off the pages." - BookAngel

"It's YA and Urban Fantasy. Two of my favorite genres combined. Add in humor, killer writing, boys that make my heart race, a heroine that I actually am rooting for and genuinely like, awesome world-building, and some secrets that are bound to get messy in the next few books and I am hooked." - Me, Myself & Books
