Blurb:
Piper wants one thing in life: to become a Consul, a keeper of the peace between humans and daemons. There are three obstacles in her way.
The first is Lyre. An incubus. He’s sinfully seductive, unusually perceptive, and flirtatious when he’s not being a smartass. But for a daemon with supernatural allure, he’s strangely averse to drawing attention to himself—or his secrets.
The second is Ash. A draconian. He’s absurdly powerful, dangerously unpredictable, and a notorious mercenary. Wherever he appears, trouble follows, and now he’s lurking around Piper’s Consulate with ulterior motives she can’t begin to guess.
The third is the Sahar Stone. A legendary artifact with the potential to unleash untold destruction. It was under her father’s protection until thieves attacked their Consulate, went on a murder spree, and abducted her father.
But no one realizes that her father doesn’t have the Sahar Stone. Piper does.
Now she's on the run with every daemon in the city hunting for the Stone—and for her. She has to keep the artifact a secret while trying to save her father...and there are only two daemons willing to help her. See problems one and two.

My Review:
Chase the Dark is the first book in Annette Marie's Steel & Stone series. It has just received a new facelift and has been revised for its ten-year adversary.
Chase the Dark starts with plenty of action to keep the pages turning. It had me racing to the end to see what would happen next. Chase the Dark is well written. The descriptions are so well written that it is easy to picture what you are reading and understand what is going on.
The only thing Piper cares about is keeping peace between humans and daemons. Piper wants to be the Consul. But a few things are standing in her way like a couple of guys. One is Lyre who just happens to be an incubus and the second is Ash a draconian and very powerful. Piper likes both guys but which one will choose?
Oh, but I digress. Piper needs the Sahar Stone a legendary artifact with the potential to unleash untold destruction if she wants to become the Consul. Thieves break into Piper’s home to steal the Sahar Stone. Instead, they take her father captive. Piper will do whatever she can to bring her father home safely.
The chase is on for the Sahar Stone. With Ash and Lyre's help, Piper searches for her father while everyone else searches for the Sahar Stone. The actions ramp up on almost every page as Piper, Ash, and Lyre go up against every daemon in the city looking for the Sahar Stone.
I recommend grabbing a copy of Chase the Dark today!
