Review

Well written, vividly graphic, heart grasping, intoxicating and inviting...It's prodigious, fun, yet forbidden and the diversity keeps you on your toes! A must read! - Nook Books and More Blog

This world puts you on such an emotional roller coaster and bleeds into your heart. Be prepared to experience all emotions. You will not want to put this book down.

This series puts an amazing twist on such a diversity in the paranormal world. This journey has brought characters together that needed each other in so many more ways than even you would expect. There were promises made and broken, love fulfilled and betrayed. We see our heroine embarks on a journey that is totally different then her life now. She soon learns her life is nothing of what she has known and embarks on an abyss of a journey.

I really enjoyed watching their family dynamics and how they nurtured each other and grow. Love is such a powerful emotion that exist and that explains this through out this story. There are many twist and turns in the story. Perhaps the most I've ever seen in a series. Each relationship pulls you in because it's hot yet forbidding and dangerous with some. There's a sense of much darker adventure as they are constantly striving to keep each other safe.

But wait the story doesn't stop there! It seems, no matter which direction the these characters seem to turn, someone or something is trying to come between them. Though sometimes they put it on themselves, the journey is epic as it continues to play out! The twist and turns are phenomenal. I couldn't put it down!

Overall, the story has lots of twists and turns with plenty of nice surprises. It has well written sexual tension that both maintained integrity for the story but was also age appropriate. The flow of the book bleeds nicely off the page making it easier to follow the journey and not get lost in the book or bored. There's also a significant amount of action, making it a very compelling read! Great job Ms. Gatrell!
