*4.5 stars* 
 I normally don't read a lot of UF/paranormal stuff, but I really enjoyed the Anita Blake series by Laurell k. Hamilton and I've been reading some of the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris. I thought I'd branch out and start with a new series in this genre. 
 One of the reasons I decided to pick up this series was because people described it as a slow burning romance, and it is. I love it.
