4.0
Full-throttle urban paranormal sexy romance/thriller with a manly, alpha-male ensemble cast of vampires, angels, soul-stealers, and paramilitary men.
This first book in the series mainly switches between Xaine (vampire rock star) and Lore (not-quite-human blonde bombshell currently the focus of assassination attempts). Clearly, though, Xaine's older "brother", the paramilitary guy who runs their security, and other various characters are being set up as alpha male heroes of their own stories. I mean, goodness (fans herself) there's more testosterone, sweat, gel and clothes-horsing then a barrel of gorillas.
And snark. Oodles and oodles of yummy snarkiness (both male and female characters).
If you own multiple e-reader devices and buy this book, DO NOT forget to erase it from your children/young adult's carousel, it is explicit in sexual imagery, crude language, violence, the whole shebang. (Xaine's POV is like non stop sexual imagery.)
Guilty pleasure reading at its best. If you like Nalini Singh, Sherrilyn Kenyon, or Kresley Cole, you should jump on this series. It promises to be a sexy hoot and a half.
