“I was presently surprised with this book. I read a lot of urban fantasy which just turns out to be a paranormal romance in disgise - this one turned out to be the oppersite. You can see why I had low expectations for the book before I read it - the main character is obsessed with her wardrobe and I thought that it was going to be one of those books were the heroine is a frivolous air-head and she wasn't. I like the fact how it get the mixture of the supernatural and romance just right - although it says that it is a paranormal romance on the back of the book, the romance part doesn't derail the story like it does for example, in L. A. Banks' Bad Blood, or others that I've read. The only critisim I have about the book is that the author seems to get mixed up with the stake through the heart and suggests it as a way to kill werewolves when really it's vampires - whoever proof read the the book before its publication should have pointed this out to the author and had it edited. I found the references to designer clothing a bit repetitive as well and I think that it should be played down a little when marketing the book and mentioned less - I read urban fantasy books for the supernatural content - if I wanted to read about designer clothing I would read a book about a spoilt brat heiress young woman living in the normal world, which I don't. Aside from those too factors, I look forward to seeing more from this author.”
