Synopsis from Goodreads:

 

Almost one year ago, a Mage attacked Silver and changed the course of her destiny.
Immortals exist, and now she is one of them.

Within the dark and supernatural city of Cognito, Silver is living under the watchful eye of her Ghuardian and dating her mortal enemy. Neither man can protect her from a dark secret, one buried within the contents of a box. As rival factions struggle to gain control, she finds herself in the middle of a centuries-old feud that threatens to drive a wedge between her and Logan Cross, the man who intends to seduce her.

In an explosive turn of events, one life is saved and another is forever altered. Can Silver trust those around her, or are they hiding a dark secret of their own?

 

Impulse is book three in the Mageri series, and Dannika Dark continues to win me over with her impeccable story-telling abilities! This book definitely took me on a bumpy but glorious ride, where past betrayals are revealed as well as new insight into several of the beloved main characters. Also, Silver and her friends engage in some serious butt-kicking, as usual! Who could pass that up?

Silver, one of my all time favorite heroines, continues to have her strength and resilience challenged by nefarious individuals hell-bent on setting off a deadly chain of events that could threaten all Breed. One of the things I like most about Silver is her perseverance and attitude. She's such a strong woman and Mage. Instead of letting things break her down, she uses them to fuel her desire to fight and do the right thing no matter what.

There are a number of heavy and intense situations taking place in this book. We get more insight into Logan, Justus and even Silver's past. Some of it heartbreaking and startling. The surprises never cease! There are also introductions to new characters being made--some vile, some pleasant, and some incredibly hilarious.

One of my favorite new characters is Christian: a charming, yet sometimes wickedly spiteful vampire with an Irish accent that will melt you into a big pile of SWOON! He unexpectedly falls prey to Silver's snarky wit and I absolutely adore their love/hate friendship. They remind me of bickering siblings who, at the end of the day, got one anothers backs. This man is one of my favorite vamps of all time.

Several monumental happenings take place throughout the course of this book, but among the memorable events one of my favorites is the advancement of Logan and Silver's relationship--of which there are many levels. Logan is a fierce Chitah and he continues to prove his worth to Silver. I'm rooting for these two all the way! Especially after some of the smoldering, intimate scenes they share. Whoa buddy, a fan or a bucket of ice cubes needs to be at the ready during their spicy adventures!!

So far I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series. I highly recommend delving into this supernatural world with Silver if you haven't already done so!
