Once the night comes . . . Will Thorne is living a nightmare, his sanity slowly being drained away by a force he can't control. His talents have made him the perfect assassin for hire. But as he loses his grip on reality, there is no calming him-until he finds his next target: the mysterious Holly Evernight.

Love must cast aside the shadows Holly cannot fathom who would put a contract on her life, yet the moment she touches Will, the connection between them is elemental, undeniable-and she's the only one who can tame his bouts of madness. But other assassins are coming for Holly. Will must transform from killer to protector and find the man who wants Holly dead . . . or his only chance for redemption will be lost.

After two good, but not great volumes, Callihan redeems herself with this awesome engaging book from the Darkest London series.  Immediately I fell in love with Will and Holly. Of course, I knew that they would end up together at the end, but I loved their journey.  I loved watching the characters grow and open up. I loved their little fights and arguments. I loved the background story and additions to the world of the series. Finally we get to hear more and the fae!  We even get a few appearances from previous characters.  Thank you Jack Talent! I was engrossed in this novel from page one and couldn't put it down until the end.  Can't wait until book six is released next year.  I'm betting it will be about Sin and the mysterious lady at the party...
