Genre: Paranormal
Is it a genre you enjoy?: Yup :o)
Is this a new-to-you author?: Yes
Will you read this author again?: Yes! A sequel is coming in the Spring!
Will you recommend this book to others?: I believe I currently am.
Did you like the cover?: It was okay. I don't really like people covers but at least this one was monochromatic and subdued. If they must put people on covers I prefer not seeing faces...but that's me.
The good: I liked the way Sascha's character development was handled. It could have been difficult to follow but it really wasn't. I also liked that Lucas was alpha (literally and figuratively) without being obnoxious and overbearing.
The bad: Nothing really...the bad guy was pretty easy to spot but everything else was so interesting, I didn't care.
Overall grade: A
In a side note - someone mentioned in their review (sorry I can't remember who) that there was a lot of sex in the book and seemed to think there was too much (unless I misread and, if I did, I apologize). I guess there was a lot of sex but I didn't think there was too much. It didn't get in the way of the plot or slow the development of the characters - that's the only way there can be too much sex, if you ask me (oh...unless it is poorly written...that's just sad). ;-)
Any opinions, gentle readers?

I don't remember if it was you, Jennie...it seems like everyone has been talking about this book for a few weeks as I surfed around. But I just found it nearby (stupid slow Walmart). And then when I was posting about it my memory was vague...I don't retain useful info, like, ever. Just trivia. LOL
Anyway, I'm with you on sooo wanting the sequel! I think the world she built for this series is WAY cool!
Woohoo!! I recognize this template ;)
I loved this book also and am glad there will be more in this universe. Jennie did mention the sex but well, I like sex in my books ;) It was perfect and I don't normally like sex scenes in the beginning of the story because it breaks the tension but Singh figured out a great way to allow certain things to happen without ruining the sexual tension.
Yep, she has found a fangirl in me.

Ah, Cindy S, I'm sure you do recognize this template - I'm so glad you found a new template because it sent me over to look around and I found a new template too! :o)
Yup, Mailyn...pointless sex is annoying. Like the author couldn't think of a plot and decided to do nothing but sex scenes. I mean, that's fine if it is what you're expecting (erotica, anyone??) but if you're expecting a plot and some character development...well, it's just not good.
Ames and Zeek, I think you're gonna like this one. :-D

YAY! I loved this book too.
It might have been me who mentioned the lots of sex. Normally I find a lot of sex scenes distracting from the plot. But I thought it did work here, since it was all part of Sascha's awakening.
I can't wait for the sequel. :)
