Soul Avenged by Keri Lake

Soul Avenged:
Passion is blind in vengeance and love ...

Ayden’s suburban home was invaded by a pack of Lycans.

The brutal attack is the only memory she carries of her former life.

Now, one motive burns in her soul:

KILL THEM ALL.

The Sons of Wrath—a brood of vengeance-dealing warrior demons—band with Ayden to hunt the Lycans on Detroit’s most deadly feeding grounds.

Kane Walker should’ve been her easiest kill.

Unfortunately, the newly bitten Lycan has something she wants—clues that may finally lay her past to rest. To reach them, she must be willing to submit to the sensual pleasures awakened by his touch.

Time is running out.

In seven days, Kane will become what Ayden despises most. She can halt his transformation but the antidote requires the ultimate sacrifice. As the beast takes hold, Kane becomes more of a threat.

Ayden must choose between her lust for revenge, or surrender to her enemy and discover a horrible truth.

Soul Avenged by Keri Lake was a powerful beginning to the Sons of Wrath series, despite it's carbon-copy beginning that was similar to a popular vampire/lycan movie. Keri quickly grabbed my attention as she took her story in another direction with a strong heroine and page-upon-page of tension. I thoroughly enjoyed the Wrath demons, even though they were only secondary characters in this story, they made a compelling first impression, and I'm definitely looking forward to more of them in future books. This book has everything a paranormal book lover like myself could want: danger, romance, hot demons, a sexy heroine and thrilling action.

Ayden has no memories of her past, and all she knows is life as an Alexi soldier, genetically enhanced hunters of the powerful lycans that hunt and feed off humans. But after being terribly wronged by their sadistic leader, the Sons of Wrath are summoned to her call for vengeance. For a long time she has hunted alongside the brothers, her only desire: kill lycans. But that all changes when she stumbles across Kane, a newly bitten halfling lycan that carries memories of her past. Disregarding her natural instinct to kill him on sight she brings him into her safe haven, where she discovers that he has been imprinted with the memories of the lycan that killed her family and changed her life forever.

The leader of the Alexi is obsessed and will stop at nothing to get Ayden back, but his forces are no match for the Wrath brothers, and in going up against them the secrets of his absolute betrayl against his Alexi followers and Ayden are revealed. And while the world of the Alexi begins to crumble, Ayden and Kane grow closer as they fight to understand their mysterious connection and their growing feelings for one another.
