The story had lots of potential and flowed well, but I didn't warm to the main characters, they just annoyed the hell out me. I didn't feel the chemistry between them and I kept wondering why are they together now?!

It's normal for a character to have issues but it really bugs me when the heroine who's prejudiced against vamps suddenly get over it pretty quick for a little undead nookie but then suddenly it's all 'oooh he's an undead bloodsucker who kills people!'. Until the next time she can't resist shagging him again. Bloody make up your mind, either you hate him or you don't!! ( )

I picked this book up off the supermarket shelf and judging by the cover it didn't really look like the type of book I would normally read but the blurb had me thinking it might be all right.

I'm glad I grabbed it because although it was different to what I usually read I really enjoyed it.

It was fast paced and well written. The characters were also good although the MC sometimes exhibited characteristics or said certain things that I felt didn't quite fit into the image the author was projecting for her but I liked her.

I'm not sure if there is a sequel to this but there definitely could be with the ending and if there is one I will certainly read it.

For the second installment, new characters come to the forefront of the story. Antoinette is back as a supporting cast member and Christian makes one cameo. The new heroine is Kitt, a felian (a snow leopard shifter). She is educated, a doctor, and is called in by Oberon's new organization to perform an autopsy. Turns out there is a new paranormal serial killer on the loose and its up to these guys to stop the murderer. And of course, this will require Kitt to get up close and personal with her baby daddy, Raven (a canian/wolf shifter).

I am totally okay with the shift in main characters. It's a good way to write a long romance series without having the main couple get together and break up and get together and break up, etc. What bothers me is that the construction of the book is different from the first in the series. Rather than following only the two main characters, the view point follows others, including the serial killer. The reason O'hara did this brings me to my second concern.

This book has three or four villains/organizations (although maybe they're all part of the same cause?). There's the serial killer, the aliens who originally brought the paranormals to earth as their slaves, the organization the baddie from book one was a part of and the crazy Aeternus who is creating a pack of Necrodeniacs. Overkill much? Because there is so much going on and the group has to split up all the time to deal with the many problems, she could not write from the perspective of just two characters.

I really don't think that the addition of more view points or bad guys added to the book. Now the book is taking itself way too seriously; it is trying to be more fantasy/adventure than romance. This book has very few steamy scenes. What with the shifting between characters and all the action scenes, there just isn't time. That is a shame. Books need to be what they are...and this is a romance series. O'hara needs to do what she does best.

P.S. And twins, really? (This will only make sense to those who finish the book.)

I liked this book quite a bit and ended up reading it over and over. She overcomes challeges and He is forced to make sacrifices in order to save the woman he loves, even at teh possibility of her growing ot hate him. ( )
