As twins, the two girls could not be any more different. Always the responsible one, Copper Daly has made it her job to look after her sister. Always the keeper of the peace, the protector. So, when she received a disturbing call ending in her sister broken scream, Copper rushed to her side. Only to find … nothing. Her sister has completely disappeared!

For centuries Bastian DeLuca has tried to make up for his past by rescuing people in the most need -the street urchins no one else sees. But when Crimson, his infrequent girlfriend disappeared, he knew it was because of him and that something awful has happened. A week later, she reappeared unharmed and back at work. Only, Crimson was … different.
It didn’t take long to find out who exactly Copper was but both refused to budge, each having an agenda of their own. A cat and mouse game ensured. As the attraction grows by leaps and bounds, the killer closes in and the stakes increase. Separate, chances are neither will survive, but will they be any better off together? For as the desire between them increases, lies come to the surface and terrible and wondrous secrets are revealed.
Mechele Armstrong has combined compelling characters with an explosive setting, making this an enjoyable read. From a wicked vampiress to betrayal, from romance to murder and mayhem, The Conduit has a little something for all types of readers. Although I truly enjoyed the suspense and tension between the characters, I found the writing style a little distracting. The over use of short, fragmented sentences distracted me, making it a little difficult for me to submerse myself as fully in the story as I would have liked.
