This is the fifth and final book of the Abnormals Underground series.
Alyssa is now only one step from becoming the Dark Pentagram, the being the demon Thoreau will use to merge Earth with the Infernal Dimension, and she's seriously freaking out. Since she has the touch of Death, the fire of a dragon, deadly War Magic, and the curse of having to drink blood, Alyssa's done her fair share of bad things lately. It really puts a damper on the fact that she and Xavier are finally free to be a real couple.
The worst is yet to come. The most horrible part of Alyssa remains to be awakened, and it's darker than anything she's faced so far. She vows to avoid it at all costs.
As if.
When she and Xavier learn that Thoreau has enslaved the only beings in the world capable of killing him, there's no choice left--Alyssa must venture into the Infernal Dimension to free them and save the world. But doing so will awaken the darkest part of her, completing the Dark Pentagram, and it just might rip Alyssa and Xavier apart and destroy everything she knows. ** Views: 539
