At eighteen years old, Cassidy has suffered more loss than most… 

At the end of her senior year, her boyfriend, Jace Peters, was killed in a car accident, and her grandmother died only weeks later of a heart attack. Emotionally lost, Cassidy desperately searches for an heirloom her boyfriend was wearing in the crash—her mother’s gold ring. But during her search, Cassidy discovers more than her ring. 

She finds a gate to the Demon Realm….

A battle is brewing, and Killian—head of the Demon hunters—preps his Clan for the approaching conflict. They’ve been working to secure the gate between his realm and the mortal world. But it’s been nearly impossible since Rya—a voracious demon on a quest to expand her power—devoured the soul of his Clan’s necromancer. Now Rya is possessed with the necromancer’s powers and she may break through the gate at any moment with her demon army.

Apparently Rya isn’t the only one Killian has to worry about…

When Cassidy accidentally crosses into the Demon Realm, Killian can’t understand how a human girl survived the transition. Now he has to find a way to return her to her own world, or risk her being caught in the crossfire, which is a complication he definitely doesn’t need.

Once back in the Human Realm, Cassidy readies herself for battle. She signs up for Krav Maga classes, where she meets Tyler Romaitis—a handsome, tenacious, humble guy. He seems almost perfect, but nothing is ever that easy.

And as the balance between good and evil shifts, Cassidy finds herself—and her ring—at the heart of the conflict for the survival of mankind.

"Part of me believed if you were a good person and made good choices, you would go to Heaven, but all i'd been hearing was just how one got to Hell. There hadn't even been a mention of any Heaven! So what did it take get into Heaven? Was it enough to believe in God and be a good person, or did more need to happen?"

This is my first read from D.A. Roach and i'm a fan of Paranormal Reads after reading the synopsis i was very intrigued and couldn't wait to start this book.

Between The Bleeding Willows pulled me in and held me captivated throughout. Each of the characters bring you something interesting, and bringing the story to life giving you the feeling that you were right there along for all the twists and turns and i didn't want to put it down.

Cassidy has lost more than most in such a small amount of time. After all the devastation she has been through she goes back to the scene of an accident where she lost her only connection to her mother a Ring....

Upon finding the ring Cassidy finds herself stumbling into a new world that she never dreamed existed. In a on going war between Demons and Demon Hunters.

Killian is the Clan leader of the Demon Hunters and is very suspicious of Cassidy's arrival but can't ignore his growing attraction to her.

This is a fast paced dark paranormal/fantasy read which i would highly recommend for any paranormal fan.

D.A. Roach has been telling stories since she was a young girl in the suburbs of Chicago. In college she met the man of her dreams, her happily ever after, and married him 2 weeks after graduating. They have 3 kids together and a pet cockatiel named Gimli. D.A. did not find a love for books until after college. Her parents were immigrants from Lithuania and found tv and radio easier ways to hear stories so they did not do much reading or encourage it. But once she finished college and D.A. had free time, she discovered how amazing it was to get lost in a story. D.A. is a full time mom and wife. When she is not doing domestic things (laundry, bills, etc) she is writing, reading, creating mixed media art, and helping beautify her kids' school landscape. Oh, and she is ALWAYS listening to music. Her favorite authors include Rebecca Donovan, Richelle Mead, Larissa Ione, Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, and Sylvia Day. Reading great works from authors like these has motivated D.A. to write her own stories. She hopes to make positive changes in the world with her art and writing.
