missingvolume | #129 Hell Bent by Devon Monk

This is a spin off from the author's Allie Beckstrom series. I wasn't too far behind the eight ball reading this and there was good background info sprinkled in the story without the infodump feeling. Shame and Terric are Soul Complements, able to work large magic in a world that magic has been dampened down. By "breaking" the magic they are able to get it back to its full power level and since that is a rare thing it seems people are hunting Soul Complements to use them. Dessa is trying to hunt down the person that killed her brother and her path crosses with Shame's and it seems they have the same person to hunt down. They click on an emotional level and it seems to bring Shame out of a funk he has been in for a long time. An interesting world and I think I will have to look into reading the other books in the series.
