I think I am hooked. This book takes place in Boston and centers around 10 every-day people who have been selected to be a part of a group of people called the Druids. Each Druid has a special power that is bestowed upon them once they are initiated into the group. They are called upon to help restore order to the world if there is a darkside to the chaos and their help is needed. Their identity as Druids is not secret but their special powers are hidden for fear of it being over abused. Lark starts off the book running and by the end of the book you can't wait for the next adventure for this pack of 10. It was a fast moving story and the details that Lark describes makes you feel as if you are right there witnessing the event unfold in front of you. I haven't read too many books in this genre before but I am really glad that I got ahold of this one. It kept my attention and I was rooting for the characters till the end. Romance was alive and steamy in this book too, definitely not a book for the younger set.

While Silver Publishing may have been run by an embezzling waste of DNA, and we writers were pretty much so screwed over, they did do one thing right. I write the NeoDruids stories as novellas, always keeping my word count under 40,000 words per story. Silver decided that binding two of them together into a single volume made for good reading, and I have to agree. This tradition, as well as using pictures of the muses in the cover art as much as possible, will continue. I do believe in my stories, and there are more on the way. Life, and recovering from Silver Publishing has gotten in the way of my writing. Fear not though, the Druids are returning, and there will be other stories from my furtive, (or is that fertile), imagination. as always, enjoy.

I really enjoyed this book. the characters really draw you in. By the end of the book I was in love with Mitch and Jill and the rest of the Druids. It is well written with a good plot, romance and some hot spots that weren't to risque. I look forward to reading more in this series and seeing were the characters evolve into. They use there gifts to help others, the enviroment and themselves. I would definatly give Neodruids an AAAA :)
