“Crystallum is one of those CAN NOT PUT DOWN novels that gets
you all excited. Every time I thought I could read to the end of
the chapter and finally close my eyes to sleep for the night,
McMann would throw in a surprise that made me say “aaawwww
heeellll nooo” and I’d have to continue reading on into the wee
hours of the morn.” ~ A Tiny Voice In The Crowd

Kadence Sparrow wasn’t born a devil’s child—she was turned into
one. Now, she’s hiding from the truth, and running for her life.
For years, Kade’s true nature has lurked behind an illusion, so
when her dad gets another job transfer, she knows the drill: no
close friends, no boyfriends, and most importantly: don’t expose
what she is. Ever. Keeping secrets is easy. Lies are second
nature. So is the loneliness—and the fear, but when the Shadows
attack, and Kade meets Cole Spires, she could expose everything
she’s trying to hide.
As one of the Celestial Children, Cole lives by an oath: defend the
Ward, protect the Primordial race, guard the gateways, and stick
to his own. Everything else is a distraction, and besides, he’s lost
enough. Cole’s job is clear, and no one his age does it better. So,
when he meets Kade in a club downtown, he assumes she just
wants his attention. Most girls do, but Cole soon realizes … Kade
isn’t like most girls.
The children of heaven and hell are living among us, fighting an
age-old war. And falling for someone from the opposition is not
an option. But a chance encounter between Kade and Cole will
blur the rules, as Kade’s journey to keep her truth hidden
catapults them together and into a web of lies, forcing her to not
only face the demon inside her, but to answer the hardest
question of all.
Which is thicker—blood or water?
