SHE WANTED TO QUIT BEING HER WORLD'S BEST ASSASSIN—
BUT THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT WAS TO DIE!
Look into the abyss—
For as long as Cally O'Neal could remember, she had lived in danger. While her father was off fighting the invading Posleen she had been raised by her grandfather, practically on the front-lines of a war that had erased five billion humans from the face of the earth.
The abyss looks back—
In the final stages of the war she had officially "died" and been recruited into the elite ranks of the Bane Sidhe, a group of underground warriors dedicated to breaking the stranglehold of the elf-like Darhel. A stranglehold the Darhel held on the Galactic Confederation before the war
and now were extending to their human "allies."
And you become the abyss—
For forty years she has led a life of unremittent, unrecognized, unhallowed slaughter, wearing a constant stream of disguises, sending humans who support the Darhel off to meet their Maker, with her body, mind and soul twisted and "improved" to serve the needs of her own "allies."
Now, on the most important mission of her career, at odds with her superiors, hunting a mole that could destroy her at any moment, and inexorably falling in love with the enemy, for the first time in her life she has to wonder if it's worth it. If being a dragon is the best way to fight the dragon. And if there will be a morning after for the little girl who liked to play with guns and swim with the dolphins.
Cally had been fighting for the future of the human race, but now she is in a war for survival: the survival of her soul.

Product ReviewI have to agree with Jerome. Really loved Cally in the first four books and was looking forward to reading more. They totally ruined a great character. Deleted this one from my computer and ereader.

Product ReviewCurse words are bad enough but I can delete them. The sex is another. The authors ahve turned a beautiful, virgin farmers daughter into a whore whose idea of fun is to seduce a guy at a bar and after a night of sex, suck his penis the next morning. Congratulations writers! You've created a skank. This isn't scifi it's porn and I HATE porn. I'll have to pre-read Ringo before I trust and buy him again and for sure never buy any Julie Cochrane.

Product ReviewAnother good book in the series. Although, the series starts to take a slightly different course, it's necessary because there are only so many Posleen to kill ;) This part of the series is great because it's the start ofthe Darhel finally starting to get their just reward.

Product ReviewGood introduction to Oneal Bane Sidhe Clan and espionage in the Posleen series. It gets a little wordy with descriptions but overall well written.
