Critic reviews

“Hamilton remains one of the most inventive and exciting writers in the paranormal field.” (Number-one New York Times best-selling author Charlaine Harris)

“A sex-positive, kick-ass female protagonist." (Starburst)

“Number one New York Times best seller Hamilton is still thrilling fans...with her amazing multifaceted characters and intricate multilayered world, a mix of erotic romance, crime drama, and paranormal/fantasy fiction. Her descriptive prose is gritty and raw, with a mosaic of humor and horror to tell this complex, well-detailed story. But it’s her enigmatic stable of stars that continues to shine, managing their improbable interpersonal relationship dynamics." (Library Journal)

Fantastic story and performance.

Loved everything but the occasional music, that would pull me out of the story.

Where’s the romance?

This was categorized as a paranormal romance. The story was great but the book ended and I’m still waiting for the romance to happen. There’s no HEA. Not even a HFN. Now that I know what to expect, I’ll head into the next book with better expectations.

Kinda okay

I like the ideas and characters..but the narration was so annoying. Not everything needs to be read as so tough and angry.

Still one of my favs

Phillip and his journey always makes me cry when reading/listening to this book.

Anita’s journey starts and goes through so much and so many changes. I want her to be more sure of herself and be the woman she was and should always be, because that’s what made her such a strong character.

Anita is brave, not fearless but also not self deprecating. She needs to get back to herself and find that strength again.

Loved it. It’s a little slow starting out not out to get to know the people. Then it just rolls on with excitement
