Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Souls of Fire novels comes the second in the futuristic fantasy series that will make you want to keep the lights on...
When the bombs that stopped the species war tore holes in the veil between worlds, they allowed entry to the Others. Now, a hundred years later, humans and shifters alike live in artificially lit cities designed to keep the darkness at bay....
The humanoid supersoldiers known as the déchet were almost eradicated by the war. Ever since, Tiger has tried to live her life in peace in hiding. But in the wake of her discovery that Central City’s children are being kidnapped and experimented on, Tiger’s conscience won’t let her look the other way.
The key to saving them lies within the walls of a pharmaceutical company called Winter Halo. But as she learns more about the facility, Tiger’s mission is derailed by a complication: Winter Halo’s female security guards are being systematically attacked by an unknown force.
Now Tiger must summon all her gifts to stop those responsible for both atrocities—no matter the cost to herself...

Customer Reviews
Excellent book!
I love all the books in this series, and have reread them many times over. I recommend all three books to everyone!
riveted to a plot as it thickens and evolves
In a post-apocalyptic world where a war with shifter has wiped out almost all the genetically enhanced, while A battle to still defeat the vampires continues on, Tiger, one of the enhanced, is fighting to survive. Weaving her way through the political machinations, hiding her true nature and lead by the ghosts of the war ravaged lands, Tiger now must infiltrate Winter Halo to discover who is attacking the female body guards. The plot that she uncovers leads back to started the first devastating war.
Arthur’s imagination and story telling is superb in this the second installation of the Outcast series. Where else can you find yourself routing on ghosts and riveted to the plot as it thickens and evolves.
I received this ARC copy of Winter Halo from Berkley Publishing Group - Signet in exchange for a honest review.
