"okay story, but very repetative"
The story isn't a bad one, but it sort-of reminds me of "Ground Hog's Day" with it's repetition throughout the whole thing. It is a bit frustrating. The narration is so-so, not great, not bad. The sex scenes are delicious, but even those seem repetitious by the end.
"Stick this one out for the series"
I bought all three of these books at once, something I rarely do. That is the only reason I stuck out this first book. The first 2/3 of the book is repetitious and full of teenage angst that drove me crazy. The storyline is original, but the explanations about what is happening is revealed too slowly, only coming together the last third of the book. With that said, the last third is good enough to almost redeem the first parts, and the next book does an even better job of making the story into an enjoyable experience.
The story is a unique portrayal of werewolves, or Guardians, having been created as protectors of important relics. The are ruled by Keepers, which Guardians think are the good guys. An internal conflict arises when their actions are questioned by a Guardian and a new-comer. Decisions have to be made and not just orders being followed.
"Original take on werewolves"
This book is redeeming to the first. Jumping into this book is a refreshing change from the tedious teenage angst of the first book. A different set of characters in this book in the form of Searchers, those the Guardian werewolves believed were the enemy, are more lively and less conflicted about everything. They are preparing to fight the Keepers, those that made the Guardians, to drown out black magic and give the Guardians their freedom. The characters are lively. The plot is a bit predictable at times, but enjoyable all the same.
"Not like her others, in a good way"
This book is not about pescy teenage angst like the Vampire Academy books (which I enjoyed, for the record.) This is a grownup book for sure, with sexy scenes and themes to go with. Those scenes are hot yet tasteful. I like the storyline and list of characters, being a new twist on the fey and their culture and the Other World. The lead character is a strong woman, that struggles with wanting to dominate and be dominated, personally and in all areas of her life. The outline of the story's basics remind me of The Hollows/Rachel Morgan books by Kim Harrison, another fantasy series I enjoy. I hope the good writing and interesting storyline continue I the next books.
"Loved, loved, loved it!"
I was so excited that another Jen Lancaster book was out, I got it as soon as I could, and boy was I not disappointed! And as bonus, the author herself reads it! As with all her other books, I found myself laughing aloud, at times to the point of tears. I love her wit and humor and strong personality. Whether you've read other books or not, you have to read this (although, really, they all deserve to be read!)
"still loving the series"
I have really enjoyed these books, as they are a different take on the whole demon, wereanimal, and vampire worlds. This book is sexy and has a strong story-line to go along with it. The main women in the books are strong characters in their own rights, but are made more complete by their bond with the male counter-parts.
Elijah doesn't know his life is incomplete, until he is mortally injured and he receives the assistance of Sienna, the werecougar queen. They initially resist the pairing, especially the female, but in the end the resistance is all for naught. Having had only a distaste for male warriors like her dad, Sienna is afraid to let go for fear of having devastating results occur for herself and her people. Elijah must prove himself to her, all while a crazy renegade demon tries to take out all the people he loves. Great story, with all the various stories going on tying up neatly at the end.
"such a fun book!"

Gideon is such a dry character, but made lovable by his fun-loving new mate. Her resistance to him and her final acquiescence is so endearing you want to jump right to the next book.
"great new story"
This book made me wish that it was part of a series. I had a great time getting to know the characters. It has a unique twist on demons, making them into just another of the "nightwalkers", like vampires and werewolves. A human gets sucked into the mix and becomes part of a strange, pre-destined plan for the future of the race. With lots of spicy sex scenes (this book is not for your teen-age daughter), it keeps your interest throughout. It is, at heart, mainly a love story, but definitely weaves in the story of the future of the demon race into it, along with great ground-work for future stories with other characters. Not a deep story-line, but a really fun read.
"another fantastic book by Molly Harper"
Molly Harper has never disappointed me. This book loosely ties in with the Jane Jameson series, which I love. The humor doesn't disappoint and is always written with fantastic timing. The new main characters in this book are strong personalities that initially clash, with some humorous results. As the main female has a series of things go wrong and the poor vampire gets dragged along for the ride, they still have to find a way to make it to their destination, and get into all new adventures on their way! Fun and quick listen, that will keep you wanting more from the author and narrator!
"another fantastic book by Molly Harper"
I love this author, and this book does not deviate from her fabulous writing. With lots of humor in her writing, I laughed out loud many times. The story-line is great, in line with the series. As a relatively turned vampire, Jane is getting married to her sire. As with all her books, poor Jane finds herself in trouble of someone else's making, but she has to clean it up and still make it to her own wedding. Love the humor of Jane and the other characters as they deal with all the things that jump in the way! Enjoy!
"keeps your interest and keeps you guessing"
I don't usually read this genre, preferring light fare that includes the supernatural like vampires and the like. This book was a surprising enjoyment, with lots of twists and turns, but not so many you get dizzy or can't keep track. Lots of humor intermixed and a fun chase of the bad-guy. All-in-all a quick and fun listen.
