About this ebook
From Ilona Andrews—#1 New York Times bestselling author of Magic Shifts and the Kate Daniels novels—comes a stark, seductive tale of a world torn asunder by supernatural gifts and irresistible passions...
Karina Tucker is driving a van of children home from a field trip when an unplanned detour to a seemingly ordinary rest stop changes her life. There, she witnesses a world beyond humanity’s sight, of frightful powers and chaos, where she is in death’s grip...before an irresistibly dangerous male saves her—only to take her captive.
For she is a rare commodity in the shadowy realm she’s entered.
Karina soon finds herself caught in a violent civil war where those with inhuman powers strive to destroy each other without mercy. And it becomes all too clear that she must make a choice: submit and become a pawn, or take hold of her own destiny and fight for survival against impossible odds.
Alphas: Origins originally appeared in Angels of Darkness.

This book was just awesome I wanted to know what was going to happen next . I was thinking more was coming , I am going to tell the truth if I would have known how great it was going to be I wouldn't have read this until I knew when the next one will be published . All I can say that I now have another book to look for like others do "The Next Big Block Buster Movie"

Love them usually, but this story was definetly not for me. The universe is very overcrowded and the connection between the both of them didn't work.
