When I purchased this book I was drawn to the beautiful cover and little did I know this book would end up on my permanent shelf. But Karen Chance is a wonderful author and really weaves magic into the story with her words. Captivating from...” see full review » see other reviews » |

Escaping from one situation after another, Cassie learns that everyone isn’t what they appear. Gaining new powers (that she is reluctant to accept and barely understands), Cassie finds out that the supernatural world is not for the faint of heart. As dark and light forces, the Senate, the Council, and other deadly foe struggle for control over Cassie, we are introduced to a world where weres, satyrs, mages, witches and vampires, are all vying for the ultimate power that will allow them to rule the supernatural world. Is she merely a pawn to gain control or does she truly weld true power?

From my brief description, I am sure you think that I enjoyed the story, but NOT really. There was nothing really new about this paranormal tale. There is a woman with paranormal powers (some of which are still evolving) that everyone wants, who also is in lust with a sexy, dangerous vampire or two. (This of course reminds me of Hamilton’s Anita Blake series which I don’t really care for.) And while I enjoy, LA Banks, Kelley Armstrong, and Sherrilyn Kenyon (other authors in the paranormal arena), this reminded me of Hamilton minus the orgies to gain the power (which I fear may be next). Anyway, the entire story is setting up future novels, and while some of it was interesting, it took way too long to get to the point (which I am not sure it ever did before its abrupt conclusion). There were some scenes that could have been shortened and still the reader would have gotten the point. And while I somewhat enjoyed hearing about the woman with the outfit made of living snakes; the mage who had an arsenal of weapons (Pritkin); and Cassie’s sizzling wards; and some hot vamps (Tomas and Mircea), it was not enough there to make me run out and get the entire series and “devour” it. So with that said, I am not so sure that I would read another Chance novel unless someone could assure me that they have improved.

It's almost as if there should be another book before it or something....you feel behind in some way. Like your trying to catch on to something u missed somewhere. ”

“Enjoyed this book. Love all the supporting characters. You really have to pay attention, though, to keep everything straight.”

“Pretty good book, certainly not the best vampire novel I have read but worth the time to read through the whole series. It is very grown-up and much darker for those of you coming to vampire novels through Twilight...THIS IS NOT TWILIGHT. More of an action/romance/mystery novel.”
