Blurb: A meteor attack has changed the world, as we know it. Most of the people who survived now have special powers. However, as with all people, some are good and some are evil. There is a group of men that were brought together by the World Council called MYSTIC, a group of men with multiple powers. They are only brought in to deal with Nefariouses. These are men with powers used for their own evil, twisted purpose.
Ryker Spalding is a MYSTIC agent. He is six feet three inches and can control metal, speak any language, and decode any message while levitating in the air. Quinn Sanders can breathe underwater while he talks to underwater mammals. He leads a quiet life until the day a sadistic serial killer set his sights on him. Now he can only hope that his newfound mate, Ryker, can keep him safe without one or both of them getting killed.

Review: Quinn has a normal life, besides being his friends are mostly water inhabitants and he can breathe underwater. After a night at a club, his life takes a big change. The man he was dancing with gets a little too pushy so Quinn decides to leave and go home. Unbeknownst to Quinn, the man he was dancing with is a psycho who follows him home and kidnaps him. He is finally rescued by MYSTIC, and one of the members of the team, Ryker, turns out to be his mate.
From the moment Ryker sees a picture of Quinn he is drawn to him. When they finally meet, both Ryker and Quinn cannot deny they want each other. The sex between the two is damn hot. The bond they have is instant, but not without their difficulties. There is still the psycho to deal with, who will do anything to get Quinn back.
My issue with the book was that there quite a few editing errors. Things like a name in the wrong place, an extra word, or lack of a word. Also, some things seemed a little rushed in certain places. I maybe would have liked some things drawn out a little more. I’m not really sure. Maybe it was just that so much went and so much was learned and explained that I got a little lost in the details.
But on the whole, I really liked the unique concept this new series has. Ryker and Quinn are the first mates in the new world created after the meteor show changed everything. There are few women left, and none has been born since the meteors. So nature is finding a new way to procreate. That starts with Quinn and Ryker.
All in all, I look forward to reading more in this series. The secondary characters and their skill sets were just as interesting as the two MCs.
