Another great book by Shelly Laurenston. In the characteristic Laurenston writing, this book is full of humor, a very different, creative world, intriguing and likeable characters. Neecy was a strong, smart, very stubborn woman, who dedicated her whole existence to her goddess Skuld, and Yager was the "nice" guy, so in love with her he would do anything to have her. This book also sets up the series for a few follow up books which I'd be looking forward to (Janelle & Tye, Arric & Mike). Excellen ...more

A slow start, but picks up nicely. I enjoyed the humor. Great cast of characters. My big issue- right now there are no more books in this series. While this could work as a stand alone (I suppose), there's an underlying storyline that could/should continue on. Also, most of the other characters are strong enough to warrant their own book and HEA. ...more
