This was almost a 5 star for me... 
 I loved the start of the series. It was fun, suspenseful and intriguing. I liked the 2 sides and being able to get to know players on each side of the battle. I liked that the vampires only had one mate and that they all had unique powers. 
 I really liked that the Vampires had a strong family connections and that they each had their own battles ahead. I loved that the brothers immediately took to Janie and that they bonded with her so closely. Janie was an amazing 4 year old and they went out of their way to help her adjust and feel safe. She is a strong psychic and amazingly connected to the earth. 
 The alpha dominance was off the charts in this book, as was the protectiveness of the brothers. This of course leads to issues between Talen and Cara. Cara grew up in an abusive home and she is naturally wary of dominating men. I get this, and it was portrayed in the book what happened. While Talen was mainly dominating when it came to protecting her and Janie there were times he overstepped, and I felt like it wasn't dealt with, just brushed over. 
 My main quibble with this plot was, as a mother. Cara finds out the Kurjans are after her and her daughter, and that the vampires will protect the. Still she keeps trying to find ways to get out and leave taking Janie with her. None work thankfully, but as a mother myself I wanted to slap her. Seriously?? If I ever found out someone was coming after my child I would not hesitate to accept help protecting my child and I would make them train me to protect my child not try and run because * Gasp * They are different. Cara was different too. It just irritated me. I was seriously glad Janie went with her new uncles at the beginning. (Ok momma rant over) 
 Overall I enjoyed the series and will be looking for more in the future!
