Not bad. Not bad at all. Hard act to follow my favorite Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but for the first book in a series I'm totally willing to go to book number two. I appreciate so much the reviews that say 'if you like this book you might like this author'. That's how I chose to read the first book of Larissa Ione. I really love this website and am having so much fun being involved in Goodreads. I find myself having personal preferences to what an author decides a vampire/demon/human hybrid abilities are, all depending on what an author decides. Like 'hey shouldn't six pack hunk vampire so-and-so have mind reading abilities crap this sucks! Silly me. But hey I'm riding with the story whatever. Just goes to show a human can be relentlessly demanding in finding the perfect fantasy fix, and be incorrigible when the fantasy doesn't fit. Just. Frickin. Right. Spoiled we are eh? Grateful for the grand selections I am...hehe.
