I
picked this story up on amazon, after following a link on facebook. It
was free so I figured 'Why not?' By the time I was a quarter of the
way through, I knew this was a series that I'd never forget! I read a
LOT! I'm talking a solid 4-5 novels per week and that's a lot
considering my role as wife, full-time mother to three children and a
working nurse. This story is like no other I've ever read! Sure, Ive
fallen head over heals in love with many a paranormal romance before...
but this is something entirely different! It's like reading ten novels
in one! Many stories have what would ultimately be the perfect love
story except for all those pesky dilemmas and problems that come up at
the half way mark. Then, you're left reading just to see how said
conflict is resolved so that the characters can finally have their
happily ever after. Cat Miller went against the grain on this one and
knocked it out of the park!
Just as I'm being drawn into one story-line
with our main character Dani, the scenery changes and I cant wrap my
mind around it and it's sheer awesomeness! Yes, this book has me
speaking like a teenager but believe me, it is for anything but! Our
characters are not only dealing with the drama of a long hidden secret
of vampirism, secret societies, love triangles (or whatever the word for
a six-way love triangle is), society class structures, but they also
have what's likely the hardest of all to deal with... growing up, coming
into the adult world of serious commitments, college, the loss of
innocence (virginity included) and everything else that comes with the
transition into adulthood. I'm especially fond of the way the author
allows the characters to "play the field". This is quite a rarity in a
romance novel, but it allowed me to see the characters as more than
wonderful works of fiction. I was able to truly relate to them, and
become emotionally invested. It just felt so real to me at some points
that I found tears falling from my face, and literally laughed out loud!
Subsequently, I was sitting in a doctors office waiting room with my
trusty e-reader in hand when one of these emotional outbursts overtook
me. Boy, was my face red! In moments of what Catt Miller calls "sensual
romance", she describe in detail the passion that has built in the
story. She graphically describes these moments of passion, but in a way
that leaves you heated, but not feeling 'dirty'. (Unless of course
you're in a medical reception room when reading it... then, you just
feel like everybody in the room KNOWS you just read about someones
blouse being removed). These moments are completely essential to the
story-line and in NO WAY would I ever consider it smut or think of this
tale as pornographic. This story kept me awake until the sun came up,
feverishly turning the pages, unable to put it down even for a few hours
of much needed rest. I feel very blessed to have stumbled upon this
tale and am eagerly awaiting the release of the next chapter!
