Synopsis:

Kerrigan Cruz and Dominic Grayson have fulfilled their destiny, clearing the way for a new Guardian of the Light to emerge. The product of her parents’ mixed bloodlines, Victoria Milena Cruz-Grayson must defend the world as the only Guardian of Mankind in existence.

With the weight of the world on her shoulders, Tori must find a way to keep it from falling before the gravity of her existence sends her crashing to her knees and mankind along with her. The real war is inside her psyche; good versus evil in a battle between Light and Dark. But she is not alone in her quest.

The Guardian of the Guardian, Dante, is destined to fight by her side. With an arsenal of wicked charm, seduction, and the ability to ignite a raging inferno, his allure is powerful. Will it be enough to convince Tori to choose him?

Coming between them is a man whose existence is confined to her dreams. The only friend Tori has ever known, a man she has grown to love over her short eighteen years. She doesn’t know his name, or why he’s there, but she can’t deny the feelings she has for him. There’s only one problem; when he leaves, her dreams become nightmares plagued by demonic beings hell-bent on viciously murdering her loved ones. Over and over again.

Two men, both pledging their undying love and unyielding loyalty, but one is not at all what he seems.

Torn between her lifelong friend and the man destined to stand by her side, the Guardian of Mankind must choose her path. The fate of the world depends on her getting it right. But how can she choose when she doesn’t really know who she is to begin with?

 Review:

Nexus is the final installment in the Supernova Saga.  Finally Kerrigan and Dominic have found happiness.  They have raised their daughter, Tori, to realize her important role as the Guardian of Mankind.  They have sheltered and protected her.  Now Tori feels she is an adult in her own right and yearns for freedom – freedom from responsibility and freedom to find her own path.

The family takes a trip to London to visit with their old friends, Drew and Sinclair.  They have also settled into a blissful life together that includes their devilishly handsome son, Dante.  Everyone has suspicions that there might be a connection between Tori and Dante – He is her protector and wants to be even more.  But Tori is harboring a secret.  A mysterious man has haunted her ever since she can remember.  He is mysterious, beautiful and somehow dangerous.  Tori must choose between her two powerful loves and discover whom she can trust.  What is the price of freedom when the fate of all Mankind is held in your young hands?

Nexus was sexy, exciting and brave.  I never saw the ending unfolding the way that it did and I love when a book can lead the reader down a path that they least expect.  I was not a fan of Tori’s character at first.  She was folding under the pressure that she felt was being placed on her and acted out in childish ways.  Her saving grace was found in my favorite character, Dante.  He showed strength and beauty beyond his years and totally stole the show.  Nexus should grace the shelf of any paranormal romance lover.
