Burdened (A Burdened Novel #1) by Peiri Ann

(Warning: Burdened contains mature contact and strong language some may not find appropriate for readers under the age of 17.)

Eighteen-year-old Tracey Warren is a ‘run-of-the-mill’ high school student on the verge of graduation. She has her friends and her fun; she has life all figured out. Or she thought she did.

Her pedestrian reality crashes around her after an innocuous touch from a diabolically handsome stranger. Just one touch from Nathan Newcomb and her head and her world spins out of control. Soon she discovers that the only cure for the uneasy feelings and pain is Nathan himself. A man whose very existence balances between violent chaos and rigidly controlled dangers.

Nathan knows that the life of a woman mated to a burdened Sephlem is destined for peril beyond a human’s reckoning. But Tracey calls to his desire to experience love in spite of the hazards. And Nathan’s impossibly potent magnetism draws Tracey into a bonding that will put her in mortal danger again and again.

Once the pair becomes one, the threat escalates and nowhere is safe. There are enemies that lurk behind every corner. But the greatest danger may be in the bloodlines that course through Nathan’s veins.

Can a love for all time survive or will their burdened souls surrender and fade away?

Tracey just wants to go to school, the mall, and parties with friends but getting bumped into by another classmates cousin changes everything for her.

Nathan doesn't want to have someone give up their lives just to be with him , but he can deny Tracey nothing. But if she accepts all of him it means life will be very difficult for both of them.

This story takes you into the world of Sephlem, where being burdened means being part demon and everyone either wants to kill you or have your help killing others. There is danger around every turn, and trying to start a relationship in the middle of all that is interesting at best. Wondering if your other half accepts you and trusts yo to do anything and everything to protect you.

Tracey seemed a bit shallow at the beginning, but once you got to know her you saw who she really was and she accepted someone for who they were not what they were.

Nathan keeps allot of secrets and there were times I just wanted to strangle him for them. But everything he does is for the better of those around him he just doesn't know how to tell them.

They have their share of ups and downs and definitely best friend and cousin drama, but you get sucked right into the story and I'm excited to see what happens next in their world!
