Product Description:
High above the city, a young guardian searches for the enemy...and finds love.
In a city rife with evil, masked protectors secretly watch over the inhabitants, keeping the citizens safe while hiding their own identity. One young Sentinel, however, violates her oath and loses her heart to the woman she is charged to protect. By day, Pagan Osborne is a shy security specialist working in the family business. By night, as a Sentinel, she fulfills a greater family legacy and battles the criminals who threaten Chastilian's peace. Erith Baylor, a fiery young woman with her own secrets to hide, is drawn to Pagan's quiet charm and silent strength. But with so many secrets between them, their attraction could break the ties of family and finally reveal the truth behind the mask.

Rating:
- Skimmed to the finish
Sorry to say this one was not worth the time it took to skim to the finish to see how things came out....not that I didn't know well ahead of time.I'm guessing the author meant to suggest another time and place by using such stilted language but it just didn't work for me.

- This Should Have Been a Graphic Novel Instead
Wow I'm shocked at the high star rating for this one. (I haven't read the other actual reviews yet.) The characters, plot, setting, and dialogue were all wrong for an actual fiction novel. The things that make this book completely not work did have the potential for a very entertaining graphic novel though.
There's no context for the setting. Where are we? When are we? Usually a writer in some manner manages to give us as readers clues (or they outright tell us) where the novel is set. ... Read More

- The truth about Truth Behind the Mask
I bought this book based on the reviews and I have to say I was disappointed. I agree with some of the reviews: interesting plot line and characters, all in all it's pretty good, but I also agree with Queen's Jester it's got an awkwardness to it, and doesn't really seem to get going. I think if you give a five star rating it should be a compelling book that you have a hard time putting down and look forward to picking it up again as soon as possible. This story just wasn't that for me; good summer beach ... Read More

- A Little Sci-Fi, A Lot of Fun
In writing this novel, Lesley Davis must have had a lot of fun.Starting with extremely creative character names (Pagan and Erith, for example) and a caste of superheroes, Davis has delivered a wonderful story.
Pagan Osborne was born into life as a Sentinel.Her parents were well-respected sentinels.Her sister and sister's wife are too.Even though she is almost totally deaf, Pagan is a rising star among her kin.Pagan and her family hide behind a security business, but use that ... Read More

- NOT her first novel
This is not Lesley Davis's first novel.It's more like her fifth or sixth; however, unlike her previous novels, this one does not deal with characters who have paranormal abilities.Imagine a city full of Batmen(women).The Sentinels and their Sighted are very reminiscent of that, normal people who use high tech equipment to enhance their abilities and use all of that to protect their city from evil.Fans of Davis's previous books will not get what they've come to expect from her, but the book is a good ...
