Christina Dodd-Darkness Chosen Series

Christina Dodd-Darkness Chosen (Four Book Series)
Scent of Darkness
Touch of Darkness
Into the Shadow
Into the Flame

Basic premise of this series is that a thousand years ago the devil and a really bad guy made a deal that the bad guy and his desendence would do the devil's dirty work in exchange for the ability to change into a preditory animal, produce only males, have fast healing abilities, and long lives.  To seal the deal, the really bad guy took the family icon and killed is mother.  The desendents were evil and therefore would rape, pilage, assasinate for hire, and never marry (the heartless fiends), until one of them did and it shook the foundations of the pact.  In order to break the pact, the one that married's family must find the icon that was scattered throughout the earth...and fall in love apparently.

There is some predictable "he only loves me because I can save him and fate dictates that he must love me..." but overall it has 4 good books that I am glad that I have read.  It had a strong backstory/history and some good romance.  These books are really good.  It was a little difficult to get into the series at first, but after that, I read the series back to back.

I look forward to reading her spin off series called The Chosen.
