I had to stop reading this book. Usually I'll give a book more than a chapter, but I picked up because of the raves about it here on GR. I should have read the back cover.

Shelves: o-g-series-char-trade, favs, vampire-novels, shifters, first-in-series

Ass-kick heroine, Hot Alpha hero, Witty dialogues and Quick humor.

I don't usually like historical paranormal fiction but this time it's refreshing and you just can't help but love Alexia. It may not be the best of best but it's certainly one the the most well written PNR/UF books today. ...more
