To survive, their bond must be unbreakable.
When the mysterious and passionate Rhane rescues Kali from an attacker in the theater parking lot, they form an immediate, smoldering connection. But Kali doesn't remember Rhane or anything from their past. As far as Kali knows, she's just a seventeen-year-old kid coping with an insatiable hunger for the “spark” or energy of others, feeding on classmates to survive.
A unique artifact—one that may hold the key to returning Kali’s memories—is uncovered by the archaeology firm where she works part-time, sending Kali and Rhane on a dangerous journey that leads them to the Forbidden City, into the unforgiving Gobi, and into the ruins of Rhane’s ancient homeland. As they fight for survival, Kali begins to discover who she really is and the true power she possesses.
But Rhane still harbors a secret that could destroy Kali…unless old enemies kill her first.

Dark, mystical & action packed!
Being introduced to Eden Ashley & her style of writing was quite the wake up call, because not only does she grab right from the start of the book, she makes sure she does by the throat!
As you see the main character Kalista as a young girl, you have a ton of questions about her father, the prince and all the secrets.....then as Kali starts to have darker desires in high school for things that aren't food strange things start to happen.
She's almost kidnapped, saved by a hunk named Rhane.....and oh yeah, her life seems to become unraveled. What is she? Who is she? What is this power within her? Though Rhane seems like he could be the key to unlock everything she does start to ask why is his timing so perfect?
I loved that Kali was such a hot mess to start with, and it took her time to realize and come to terms with things. If there's one thing that I hate it's a main character that seems to accept everything wayyyyyyyy too easily. Along with a good head on her shoulders, I like her inner badass-ness. I feel as this series goes on she will become such a kick-ass heroine that Rhane might have to watch himself!
Overall this book was great, between the plots, villains & love I absolutely will be grabbing the next book in this series!
4/5

This sounds right up my alley! I love the mysterious vibe, and Kali sounds like a really well written and realistic character! One of my biggest pet peeves is when a character learns something huge and accepts it right away like wtf!? Great review! :)
Oh wow, Jessica, no one has ever accused me grabbing them by the throat before. I LOVE your review! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed Dark Siren so much. And you're totally right about Kali. She goes from hotmess to something so much greater as the series progresses :)
