First line/s: " 'She went after them!" Elliot Drake exclaimed as he jumped over a half wall to join two of his four companions."
My comments: I don't understand why they would put such a misleading cover on this book. I think it would encourage many people who would enjoy the story NOT to read it. I totally look forward to good character development in a story, and this really didn't have much of that. It is the basis for a really good dystopian adventure, but it's too much telling and very little showing. Even the parts that are supposed to be steamy aren't very steamy, IMO. All in all, a very disappointing book. The story outline is excellent, but it's written very badly.
Goodreads synopsis: A man with no future . . .
When Dr. Elliott Drake wakes from a mysterious fifty-year sleep, the world as he knew it is gone. Cities are now desolate, and civilization is controlled by deadly immortals. Stranger still is Elliott's extraordinary new "gift"--he has the power to heal, but it comes with fatal consequences.
A woman with a past . . .
Jade barely escaped the immortals and is now hell-bent on revenge. She trusts no one . . . until Elliott. His piercing gaze and tempting touch shatter her defenses, but the handsome doctor seems to have dangerous secrets of his own. Is it safe to trust him with her heart?
If they are to survive in this dark new world, Jade and Elliott must work together to fight the forces that take them beyond danger.
Beyond desire.
