Everyone knows that Prophet — former Navy SEAL, former CIA spook, full-time pain in the ass — works alone. But his boss at Extreme Escapes, Ltd. has just assigned Proph a new partner and a case haunted by ghosts from Proph's past. Suddenly, he has to confront both head-on. Tom Boudreaux — failed FBI agent, failed sheriff, full-time believer in bad luck — is wondering why the head of a private contracting firm has hunted him down to offer him a job. Still, he's determined to succeed this time, despite being partnered with Prophet, EE's most successful, lethal, and annoying operative, on a case that resurrects his own painful past. Together, Prophet and Tom must find a way to take down killers in the dangerous world of underground cage matches while fighting their own dangerous attraction. When they find themselves caught in the crossfire, these two loners must trust each other and work together to escape their ghosts...or pay the price.

I'm not sure how to rate this book because I constantly fluctuated between like and dislike while reading it. Here are a few of my observations:
Prophet and Tom had potential, but their personalities were too similar.
The whole voodoo thing really threw me off because I was not expecting a paranormal aspect.
I felt lost most of the time because everyone had secrets and I didn't know any of them. Neither Tom nor Prophet ever acted as confused as I felt, and it was annoying because I would have been stomping my foot and yelling, “Would someone please tell me what the fuck is going on?!”
The best part of this book was Tom's piercings because it resulted in an enlightening and entertaining night of googling Jacob's Ladder piercings and various other genital modification, and led to my discovery of this gem of an article: 6 Horrifying Ways to Improve Your Sex Life
The ending didn't bother me because this is a series and it just means I have to keep reading to get some questions answered.
I'm still in the mood for sexy special forces guys, so yeah, I will keep reading and hope I spend less time feeling lost or annoyed and more being intrigued and entertained.
