Summary from Goodreads:
Not long ago Eila Walker’s choices were limited: death by a bullet to the head, or at the hands of her beloved bodyguard, Raef. Now, five weeks after Raef triggered her power and she nearly leveled a historic mansion, Eila is dealing with the fall-out of her decisions. While she doesn’t remember dying in the arms of the soul thief who loves her, she knows that Raef remembers everything about the night he nearly killed her.
Now on the mend and attempting to keep one step ahead of the FBI, Eila and her team of misfits are desperate for a bit of normal. Eila is trying to navigate high school, while her BFF Ana is cautiously hanging with past-boyfriend and soul thief, Kian. Shape-shifter, MJ, is trying not to piss off his mother, while Raef is coping with his fears that Eila will never be safe.
But just as “normal” seems within their grasp, a powerfully built newcomer arrives. Raef knows the scarred man as a Blacklist Dealer – a soul thief, who peddles the names of humans who deserve to die. Eila, however, knows him as the protective hunter from the woods, who she nicknames Thor. Before long, Raef and Eila realize they’ve met the same killer, and he has one hell of a story to tell the five friends . . . if Raef doesn’t murder him first.

About the Author
I have been a journalist for 15 years and serve on the Board of Directors for the Cape Cod Writers Center. I also drive a 16-ton school bus because I am ENTIRELY NUTS.In addition to working jobs that should come with a warning label , I hold a BA in Psychos (Forensic Psych), torment the tourists about Jaws, and occasionally jump from the Town Neck bridge in an attempt to reclaim my youth.
I live on Cape Cod with two smallish humans who apparently are my kids, my fishing-obsessed husband, two canines (adept at both flatulence and snoring), and a cage-defiant lovebird that sleeps in a miniature tent. Nope - that's not a type-o. The bird is quite the indoor camper.

Review
Stormfront is a very compelling and worthy sequel to Undertow. Combining the old aspects readers adored in the first book and new ones that keep them hooked and wondering what comes next-Undertow will surely satisfy and surprise fans of this series.
The story is set in various settings, the main location being Cape Cod. The author does a great job describing the town, it's like you get sucked into the book and transported to Cape Cod. The characters go to another place, which I'm not going to get into because I don't want to spoil anything.
Eila has become one of my favourite characters ever, she isn't afraid to speak her mind and she never lets anyone get her down, that being said, she does get insecure and she does make mistakes but these are the things that I probably love the most about her. No one likes a completely perfect character because people aren't like that in reality, readers like to relate to the characters they read about, and adding flaws to your characters just adds to their authenticity.
Now I can't just go on about Eila without mentioning her wonderful friendsand more. Raef goes through tremendous character development in this book, we actually get to see a downward spiral and then watch him get it together again, which is amazing. We also get to know more about Kian and Ana and their complicated relationship, we also get to see the ups and downs of them making their way back to a relatively normal relationship and we get to see some kind of resolution. M.J is all action in this book, he's mainly trying to get things over with and coming up with plans-some of which are somewhat crazy-that help the "gang" complete their missions.
This book definitely came a long way development-wise since Undertow, the characters have grown, the plot thickened, the mystery got more complex, and the story is much (for the lack of a better term) neater. But the one thing I do miss from the first book-is the action. Undertow had more intense action scenes, which I wish Stormfront had more of.
I absolutely recommend this series for readers who like: paranormal romance, action and mystery.
