Charley's humor carries the day in this debut. Also, the fact that there are no vampires or werewolves. Charley is spunky and fierce and hilarious, and the characters around her are as fully formed as she is. The mystery doesn't take a back seat to the romance, like in so many other books, but at the same time no one can miss the romance as it fairly steams of the page. Reyes. Is. Sexxay. ;) Can't wait to get my hands on Book 2!
