Along the way we find that it is the most unlikely trio. A vampire and two Sentential. The vampire in this story seems gorgeous, yet more magical and scary all at the same time; with the ability to sense the enemy heal and create invisibility.

The vampire in this story seems gorgeous, yet more magical and scary all at the same time; with the ability to sense the enemy heal and create invisibility. Logan helps Paul track down Andra and just in the nick of time. We also learn the secret of one of the sentential warriors that is very intriguing to me, it kinda makes the two main characters take a back seat for me.

Paul and Andra have both been through trauma of the heart. One has lost all but one family member and the other has lost one of the only other person that would seal his fate as to whether he lived or died in pain and alone. I could defiantly say I was a little upset with Andra for making light of the gift that is essentially given of the heart. I would say she pretty much threw water on the flames. Not only threw water but she also seems to be way too anxious and a little one track minded about her main goal. I really like Paul and I'm glad he is a patient man considering time is running out on him at a fast pace. He can put up with a lot of her pushy have to have my way attitude.

Although I can understand her desperation. Andra reminds me of a lot of women, (including myself at one point). Her desperation to protect her family at all cost and to help others even if it costs her. She is definitely a strong female character. I really like that, but at some point in the book you start to think that she is thick in the head.

Paul is sexy and intense with his feelings toward her and there is no denying his want of her. I just like the idea of these alpha male characters. The tree tattoo is very unique and the idea of having to be with your soul mate to be able to wield the power they each have is a perfect way to be in a union. I wish these men really were real. To have an orgasm just by touch alone, man.

This book has one of the best fore-play and sex scenes written. I think my eyeballs were stuck to the pages hanging on to each sentence and word. Which is something I always enjoy between the two main characters especially when it is in perfect sync with their story.

I have bought into this series hook line and sinker. I will be getting caught up on this series and reading the next installment.

It's an excellent read! ...more

This book was actually better than I anticipated. I think maybe I was overdosed on the whole "you were fated to be my mate...now just bow down and submit to my dominance" type of PNR. Sometimes some PNR kind of feels almost abusive with the whole male dominance, and the heroine just needs to shut up and accept her fate ala Christine Feehan.

I was a little rusty on the world building for this series since it has been a while since I read the first one, Burning Alive.

I was a little rusty on the world building for this series since it has been a while since I read the first one, Burning Alive. Basically this series is about the Sentinels which are 3 different races of warriors which guard mankind from the Synestryn which are the hideously ugly demons who want to enslave mankind.

The hero, Paul is a sentinel living on borrowed time. He needs to find a blooded woman who is compatible with him who will wear his lucera and take his overload of magic. So he makes a deal with Logan, a sanguinar who can track blooded women.

Enter the heroine, Andra. She has a pyschic gift that enables her to find lost children,those stolen by the Synestryn. Paul finally tracks her down while she is retrieving such a child. At first he doesn't think she's a match for him as nothing really happens when he touches her but he determines that he will keep her safe because she could be a match for one of his brethren. Cue anguish and torment and let the games begin.

Anyway this book was pretty good. The heroine has an actual personality and isn't a doormat for an alpha warrior. The hero is alpha don't get me wrong but, he isn't a knuckle-dragger either. The plot is pretty good and the storyline moved along at a good pace. They fell in love in a matter of like 4 days or something like that which is a little quick to be believable, but it had some decent emotional build-up in that Paul didn't want Andra to be swayed to stay with him by the fact that he will die if she chooses to leave him, so he chooses to leave her in the dark about a number of things surrounding his people. She also doesn't reveal a number of issues she has surrounding the trauma of loosing her mother and one sister to a Synestryn attack that in turn drove her other sister insane. I will say I thought this heroine was much better than the heroine of the first book, Helen who to me just kind of wrung her hands and did pretty much whatever she was told.

Overall I liked it and would recommend it. This book wasn't earth-shattering, but I didn't throw it against the wall in disgust so I guess you could say it wasn't wall-shattering either. ...more

Another great installment within this unique world. This time around the story focuses on Paul and Andra. Andra seems to accept things a lot faster than Helen did, but then again it was probably due to what Andra did for a living.

What I really liked about this book was to be able to see more into the community where they all live. We also learned more about others that live there. Torr's story was heartbreaking and I look forward to learning more about him. I also can't wait for Nika's story and ...more

I am finding this whole series an ok to decent read. Nothing great but it's interesting enough. Don't know if I can read the whole series-would loan this book, but only if you asked for it by name. It wouldn't be one that came immediately to mind if someone asked for a really good book to read-TTFN-Sandy ...more
