“Dark Protector introduces an interesting new concept in the paranormal romance field. If there are other books that deal with something like a paladin and this sort of plot, I don't know about them and haven't ever come across anything similar.

Laurel and Devlin were nice characters but that was about it; there wasn't much depth to them or back story. I would have liked to know more about Devlin and how he came to be a paladin exactly (at least I don't think it was mentioned). I mean he was about three times Laurel's age, so he had to have lived some outside the paladin world. You don't just start fighting in diapers. What is the whole history of the paladins and how do they come back? Also, I'd love to know more about the Others, which I suspect is to come, but they sound so intriguing! Why do they cause chaos to the human world? Why are they on the other side? What are they like? Were they really humans long ago but were sent/punished/whatever to be on the other side?(My hypothesis) I hope Ms. Morgan answers these questions in the future!
I still can't help but feel that there was something missing (besides my before mentioned questions :P) - I'm not sure what it was, maybe because the whole book was an introduction to the paladins and the rest of the series, but I don't know. Or it could be the relationship itself, which wasn't quite believable - nice but not something I'll remember. Still, I will read more in the series, especially Trahern's and Cullen's books, and hope they progress nicely in the future.

Excuse me if I've missed things mentioned in the actual book but I had started it a couple months ago, couldn't concentrate on reading at all, and just picked it back up yesterday.”“In this book Melanie Jackson has created a world where Goblins live among humankind in their own ghettos but with no rights to vote. Some ambitious goblin leaders want to change that situation and are slowly taking over tycoons of industry by modifying their bodies. That´s why an organization called H.U.G. (Humans Under Ground) was founded to prevent Goblins from taking over the world. Io Cyphre is an agent of this organization: Not quite human herself – she´s half siren fey – she´s sent with her partner Zayn to Goblin Town (aka Detroit) to bar the Goblin leader Horroban from finding the magical generator, a power source, and using this jewel for his own dishonorable intentions. There she meets Jack Frost a death fey and free agent and they team up after realizing that there is much more to their commission than just finding a magical generator and that the world is in grave danger..

I liked this book. Altough the suspense was not really overwhelming and I never read on with bated breath what would happen to our heroes next - I never thought them to be in real danger everything was going really smooth for them - it was an enjoyable read and I was throughly entertained. Io is smart mouthed but not stubborn and silly like some main characters in other books I read and the banter between Jack and her was fun to read. Likeable characters, an interesting setting – I was pleasantly surprised by this paranormal romance and I will surely read the next book "Outsiders" in Jackson´s Wildside romance series.
