Bloodring by Faith Hunter

4.0

Faith Hunter imagines a post-Apocalyptic world filled with seraphs, Dark beings, and mages (as well as ordinary humans). Thorn St. Croix is an unlicensed mage living amongst the humans in secret in the town of Mineral City in what used to be North or South Carolin. Her ex-husband, Lucas Stanhope, is kidnapped in the middle of the night, and this event sets off a series of events that leads Thorn to believe that something Dark and dangerous is massing an army in the mountain behind the town. As Thorn attempts to find out what happened to Lucas, she comes closer and closer to disclosing her own abilities and putting herself in danger.

I had seen this book in the bookstore and was mildly intrigued, so I checked it out from the library. It's really quite good. Hunter fully realizes this post-Apocalyptic world, and one is able to really see how this could come about. The pacing might have been a little bit better in the beginning, but towards the end, I didn't want to put the book down.
