Do you want dark and brooding? Check. Do you want a heroine with a troubled past? Check. Do you want the leads to not be physically perfect? Partial check. Do you want all your paranormal favourites in one place? HUGE CHECK!

When I was offered a copy of this book to review I jumped at the chance. I love this author and her paranormal series that she already has out, The Shadow Unit (if you haven’t read them already I urge you to give them a go, and indeed this series looks like it will be just as good.

Nerina the lead has been left scared by a horrific fire leaving her to seek solace and isolation in a small town. What she fails to realise is that the town and her new found friends, both human and animal, hide secrets.

Victor is a stickler for the rules and views Nerina’s presence in the town with disdain. So what happens when the two collide, and their two worlds?

The answer, a fast moving tale that reveals itself in such a way that you are left turning page after page wondering what on earth will come next. I have to admit to not fully seeing Nerina’s past this leaves me wondering about her future too which is a plus point for any author that achieves this.

I for one am anxious for the next instalment from this series, in fact any book this author produces.
