Tia Lansing was just headed home from her job late one night when the unexplainable happened. She met the most dominating and alluring man she had ever laid eyes on. He was sitting alone in the rain and captivated her with his presence, even though her internal warning bells were alarming. What she did next totally changed her life. When the gorgeous stranger protected her from falling, she fell into his arms and the intimacy they shared was unlike anything she had ever expected. The experience also left her with a major hangover the next day and what her friends called an aura stripping.

Simon was looking for energy to absolve his hunger pains when he lucked up and found Tia just bursting with it. Simon was a Rei'ta, something like a psychic vampire, who was living in exile from his people. Living this way made him have to hunt for nourishment and just his luck he ended up with a little more than a meal. Tia, he discovered was his mate and now they were bound by the Tonchi-a binding that made them both experience restlessness when apart and urgency for each other. Tia was meant to be Llyanni, or of the light; pretty much the complete opposite of Simon. Connecting with Tia had put her as well as Simon in danger from other Rei'ta.

The Tonchi made it impossible for Simon to resist Tia. He will have to keep her alive long enough so that they can consummate their Tonchi, otherwise both are doomed. But when Tia finds out what Simon is about, she may never trust him, no matter how much she desires him. SECRETS OF THE DARK by Amanda Sidhe is an unusual story of the paranormal world filled with excitement and intrigue. The struggle between light and dark is interesting and the two fated lovers will enchant the reader.
