Rating:  - I can't believe I paid $7.99 for this book!
As others have already mentioned, within the first 30 pages or so I got lost in all of the characters that were being introduced. Here are my issues with this book.
1. Too many characters.
2. Too much handed to you via first person narration.
3. Two possible love interests? Enough already! Is this even necessary?
4. Level of the plot is YA!
I'm not sure how anyone rated this anything above three stars! I will not be reading the sequel. The only reason I finished ... Read More
Rating:  - An interesting, fast-paced novel
This novel, though considered urban fantasy, is actually set in it's own world. I think the handsome goblin idea -though a more interesting take- did not work for me.
Now here are the Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Intriguing bad guy (you never really know where it's at),strong heroine, edge-of-your-seat love triangle, Mychael, Phaelan, and Raine's witty comments.
Cons:
Tam, the Sarad Nukpana is so sexy thing, Talon, the way Raine does indeed get out of every situation unharmed, ... Read More
Rating: - A good Saturday Afternoon Read
It was no surprise to read a review on Lisa Sharin's website comparing her to Janet Evanevich. I had the same thought reading her first novel. The begining of the novel has pooor editing.

But despite it's rough writing you could see the author's potential.The second half of the book that potential shined through. You could escape ... Read More
Rating:  - Too much, too fast
I read this because I had heard that it was quite good; similar to the Heart of Stone series by C. E. Murphy.
Like the C.E. Murphy novels Raine is a fully formed character that already has had quite a bit of life rush past her and so she starts off (almost immediately) into a whole heap of trouble.
That might be helpful for some people to get them sunk into the story, but I tend to prefer a little more backstory before a full mental plunge into a character's life and story.
