An excellent story. Aedan and Demitrio are perfect main characters surrounded by a good sized cast of secondary characters. Fantasy, magic, shifters and red hot sex, a nasty villain and a HEA ending what's not to love? This story was written from the heart and will be thoroughly enjoyed by any fantasy lover. ( )

I'm not a big fan of paranormal, but this I mostly enjoyed.

My favorite aspects are those related to social dynamics in general and love relationships in particular; no predestined mates here, a plot device that I don't like at all.

On the other hand, there were a couple of circumstances that didn't satisfy me:

* The appearance of that soul stone as a deus ex machina during the final confrontation with the villain; sorry, but I think that something so important like that it would have been transmitted previously by Rhiannon to Aedan.

* Throughout the story, it seemed to me that Demitrios' reclusive character was due to a concrete cause; but beyond a brief allusion to an at least verbally abusive mother, in the end, the matter remains without explanation and to see it as a trait of his character didn't conform me. ( )
