I thought this was a paranormal romance and I think that was my downfall, I was expecting something along the lines of the Night Huntress series. Although I found this book and characters entertaining, I thought the writing style was not up to par with what I'm used to. I had a hard time believing the chemistry between the main characters, Sookie and Bill and found their romantic encounters to be brief ...more
