While I know that some of Kenyon's other books are better written, I can't help but love this book! The sex scenes are sizzling & my favorite part- the bit characters are pretty endearing. Yup, I admit it. I read it for the character of Chris Erickson. 
 The story surrounds the character of Cassandra- someone who is doomed to die at a young age due to being half-Apollite. If that's not bad enough, she has to procreate before her expiration date or the world will end. (Not that she knows this little fact.) Enter Wulf- a sexy ex-Viking who unfortunately can't be remembered by anyone not blood related to him. Well... anyone but Cassandra, who he meets one night at the local bar as she's being hunted down by Daimons who want the young cutie dead... 
 Again, I really enjoyed this story. It's got one or two parts of it that get bogged down a little, but nothing to the extreme. (The only part I found a little dragged out was when everyone went to the Apollite city- could have been about 10-20 pages shorter.) Still, it's a great story and all of the characters are pretty endearing. I actually found myself curious as to what happened afterwards, a rarity for me!
