I really enjoyed this book on to the next!! CLEAN, quick, fun. A teen romance I'd let my 12 yr old read.
3.5 out 5 I'm enjoying the series. It's not too graphic. And the story is believable. On to book 3
3.75 starsBook three was a bit of a disappointment for me. I felt like Derek and Sophia's anguish about being together went on too long. Many of the words could have been deleted as they seemed very repetitive in each chapter. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying this series, but I just wanted to ge...
I hate reading books that are series at times. IMy OCD will not let me not finish this series. I hate reading books that are series at times. IMy OCD will not let me not finish this series.

What?! I just... How could they...?! Seriously?! Ok, just when I think I have this story pegged, the author throws in another wrench.Derek is losing it without his center (Sophia) and he's more dangerous now than he was as a vampire. Sofia is drifting to the dark side and caught up in a power pla...
A disappointing end to this series. First, I wish the author hadn't decided to end the series. Dislikes... I thought Liam was so selfish in this book. I hated they way he described her blood. I found it very disrespectful. I also didn't like reading about his party nights out. The book had a l...
I really liked this book and it was good to see how the other characters away from Derek et all developed. I had expected to see more evil from Kiev so it was a welcome change. The only criticism that I have is that we didn't find out about why Mona was so hell bent on not finding love until the ...
That vial of potion may have given me life… But what kind of life is this?Holy cow! After the way the last book ended I couldn’t wait to find out what that ending meant for Ben and the next leg of his journey, I never expected it to be so heartbreaking! This poor kid has endured so much and I can...
Now we were waiting not only for my brother to return with recruits, but for my son, granddaughter and Horatio. Nobody uttered a word as we perched wide-eyed in the trees. I kept my eyes fixed on the portal on the ground, willing my brother to appear. I didn’t think I had ever wished for his pres...
It became so thick that I could barely see two feet in front of me. I climbed higher and higher through the toxic gas, and it started to make even me feel heady. Finally, I reached the top. The peak was actually not as sharp as it looked from the ground. Its very tip was a...
It felt like the hunter had crushed me along with the tracker as he had brought down his heavy boot. Despair ripped at my chest. It was a struggle to even breathe normally. That’s it. It’s gone. I am completely on my own now. As the hours passed, I ...
Over the next few weeks, I slotted back into my place. Even Isolde and Efren seemed to accept that I was here to stay and stopped glaring at me so much. The other witches and warlocks stopped whispering to themselves in the corridors whenever I walked by, and Rhys reappoin...
Though, of course, it did not come without risks. After talking through the plan, the Hawks and I remained in the sky while Ben, Kailyn and Lucas returned to the ship. They did not land on the deck this time, however. Instead, after thinning themselves again, they floated ...
I’d promised her that we would do our best to look for Bastien and relay her message to him. Truth be told, when my daughter had confessed to me that she had fallen for the young man, I’d felt deeply concerned, although I’d tried not to show it. She was nineteen years old ...
I waited outside the Hawk’s cabin until noon, but after that I simply couldn’t sit still any longer. The sun beat down on the grounds and bees buzzed around my head as I made my way back to the main building. I wondered if Arron could have taken all the vampires to Aviary for some sort of experim...
I never could have imagined it in my wildest dreams. Yes, we’d suspected that the hunters had extracted some of River’s eggs, but this… What chance was there of this? It had to be one in a million. All I could think was that fate was on our side. If it weren’t for Lawrence...
A fairytale, almost. I felt as if I was floating on clouds, and I wasn’t sure that I would ever come down. Although much of his time during the day was occupied by coming to grips with his responsibilities as the new ruler of the Blackhalls, I was just so overjoyed to be with him. &nb...
I must have agitated her so much that she’d just walked off with the key still in her pocket. Dropping the fruit, I eased the door open and looked either way along the dark corridor. Seeing nobody there, I stepped out, careful to shut the door again behind me. Barefoot, I ...
The moment we’d hit the stream, the queen’s body wrapped around mine like an anaconda, and some kind of metaphysical pull whooshed me through the water along with her. We twisted and turned abruptly at corners, traveling who knew how many miles per hour… and then just as suddenly it was all over....
The pain was blinding. I gripped my shoulder to soothe it, but it only intensified the pain. I sat up slowly, wincing as I opened my eyes. To my horror, I found myself in Michael’s large circular bed. My heart hammered as I scanned the room, but I found some relief in the ...
We spotted crowds of people walking about in a daze, bewildered as to what had just happened. Apparently Amaya’s spell hadn’t been strong enough to persist for long—just long enough for them to swipe Derek, Aiden and me from The Shade. I yelled for Corrine and Ibrahim as I...
We trudged on through snow which hardened under our feet as the sun lowered into the horizon. This meant that somewhere nearby— “Halt!” I called, throwing my hand out and catching Michelle on the shoulder. Having everything bleached into tones of white, gray, or blue made differentiation of the l...
Clara, the woman my Elder forced me to call sister, appeared in the doorway. She wore nothing but thin silk lingerie. “Get up,” she hissed. “Did I give you permission to sleep at this time?” Unwilling to acknowledge her presence, I let my exhausted ...
One advantage we had was that they didn’t know exactly where we were keeping our humans—at least, I assumed that was why they didn’t just vanish themselves to the Black Heights directly. They’d have to search the island first. But that wouldn’t take long with their abilities if we didn’t throw a ...
Aiden took the lead—he didn’t even wait for one of the witches to quicken our travel. We all followed him, except for my father, who stayed behind to beckon the witches down from the ruined penthouse, where they had been ensuring that not a single burning ember remained. M...
He didn’t lower himself to my waiting lips. He was just leaning into me, only inches away from me. My heart hammered in my chest and my mouth went dry. I don’t want you to come any closer because I’m afraid of what might happen if I ever fall in love. I watched my parents ...
Whatever I’d taken that potion to forget was gone from my mind. I couldn’t remember anything about it. But it must have been dear to me because my cheeks were stained with tears. I rubbed my temples, realizing that I had a headache. And my bladder felt like it was about to...
I’d felt the tension building up between us, and I’d wanted to kiss her much sooner. I suspected that she had too. We just hadn’t found the right moment. With the guilt of claiming yet more human lives fresh in my heart and mind, River brought me the release of emotion I n...
