 I love Kenyon's works. No, the most recent books aren't as good as the earlier ones, but they're still entertaining for the most part. Except for this book. I tried several times to get as into the book as I usually do for the other books, but I just couldn't. 
 The story surrounds Ravyn, a shapeshifting DH and Susan, a disgraced reporter. They're thrust into the middle of a Daimon/DH war that could spell disaster for the two of them. And they lust after each other. A lot. 
 I think I can safely say that what really turned me off were the characters of Susan & Ravyn. They were just really whiny & pouty- or do I dare say that they were both a little too emo? Out of the pair I have to say that it was Susan that turned me off the most. I can even say the exact moment that I disliked her. Susan had been working at a tabloid paper owned by a friend of her's for a few years. Why? Because nobody would touch her at all, so her friend took pity on her & gave her a job. So does she try to make the best of a bad situation & be grateful for the intervention of a friend? Nope. She acts as if her coworkers are all beneath her & spends her time stroking a medal in her purse to remind herself how much better she is than them. Never mind that otherwise she'd have been flipping burgers or doing secretarial work if he didn't help her. 
 I really wanted to like this. I really did. I just couldn't like the main characters. They were just too obnoxious.
