Creative, three dimensional characters...

I have never read any books by a self published author. I'm glad I decided to try this one. I have read the reviews and thought, well, it does sound interesting. It was. I was blown away. I loved Corrine, Adrian, Green. Bracken. All the characters really STOOD OUT to me. None of them were just on the page. They all had unique personality, backgrounds, etc. I felt as though I was uncovering treasure tidbits with each character.

The plot itself, I thought, was great. I love paranormal anyway, but this was different from the usual vampire, fey, etc. that I usually read. I would classify it as more Urban Fantasy than romance per se, but there was definitely romance smoking enough to keep me turning pages. I loved the book and judge it five stars based on how it kept me engaged, my attention did not stray and it took me only one day to read it.

I can honestly recommend this book to anyone who likes Paranormal romance and urban fantasy.

A really wonderful, heartfelt novel, a must read for vampire/paranormal lovers

I just finished the novel and fell in love with the writing style and portrayal of the paranormal worlds created within. I love the fact the "heroine" in the novel is believeable and interesting. This series creates a world with some of the most interesting explainations for vampires and other fae creatures. The romance of the novel is what I found particularly touching and very moving.

Im not very good at reviews but I would have to say this is a must read for paranormal lovers.

a beautiful book

I can't put into words how much I loved this book. I really got attached to the characters, especially Green, but also Cory, Adrian, Brack, and Arturo. The setting was beautiful, Green's paradise was definitely a place I wanted to crash and the plot had really good pacing. I'm dying for the next book to arrive, I didn't hesitate to buy the series and Bitter Moon!

OMG.....

After reading everyone talking about this book I just had to give it a go. It was also the 1st time I had read an Independent author. I will admit that I was a little doubious. I was blown away by the plot line. Corey seems so real to me. I loved the interaction between Green and everyone that lives in the Mound with him. This is PNR like I haven't seen.
Now I'm rationing my next book because I don't want it to end!

Weak plot...

My biggest disappointment is that the story itself is very thin. This genre depends upon someone or something threatening the protagonists. In this case, "unraveling" the threat involves little more than Green and Adrian asking a few people before it is helpfully volunteered that a previous enemy has formed a rock band. In order to overcome this threat, Cory, the female lead, develops vaguely described power through unclear means. Overcoming the threat involves mostly scenes of the characters fearing for each others' safety. With almost no planning, Green, Adrian and Cory show up to meet the bad guy. The powers of the three are so unclear that the final showdown felt like quickly drawn cartoon.

Several reviewers comment on plot devices taken from Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake series, but I thought the book was more like her Meredith Gentry series. Good sex leads to greener grass; better sex with more people leads to new trees. I sort of liked the Meredith Gentry series at first but currently have read too many descriptions of horticultural wonders born from human coupling.

I thought the sex scenes were hot.

Cory is pretty typical of current heroines--young, angry, and never "fit in" as a child. I often like this story line, but Cory seems to move from great angst to full emotional healing in the course of one scene, reminding me of a bad TV drama.

Working graveyards in a stop & rob seemed a small price for Cory to pay in order to get her degree and get the hell out of Nor-Cal. She was terrified of disappearing into the aimless vortex that awaited the lost and the young that haunted her neck of the woods. Until the night she actually stopped looking at her books and looked up. What awaited her was a world she had only read about?one filled with fantastical creatures that she was sure she could never be.

And then Adrian walked in?and she discovered that risking your life was nothing compared to facing who you really were. And then falling in love.
