LOVED IT! I just wish I would've noticed that the 2nd one wasn't even out yet, because I HATE waiting.

The only reason this wasn't read within one or two days was that I had several arc reading commitments to complete at the same time. Quite simply this was a book I didn't want to put down, one full of tension, angst and peril, with some truly wonderful world building to boot. I adored Shanti, loved her irreverent humour, her toughness, her determination and her willingness to cry. Whilst we get several other view points, she is the main character of this book, and one who easily carries the story on her slender but strong shoulders.


A powerful story with a well thought out and cohesive plot that hooked it's claws into my soul and didn't ever let go. It is imbued with so many wonderful moments, some replete with humour, others that are deep, filled with troubled self reflection and yet more where Shanti challenges the pompous males around her with her sharp wit and sparkling repartee. Those quieter moments provided a perfect foil to the more hectic, high velocity, action sequences and gave the story a feeling of balance.


My words simply can't do justice to this absolutely amazing opening book of what looks set to be an awe inspiring series.

I really enjoyed it... though I admit I was a tad disappointed by the ending, I understand why things had to play that way.

I like that Shanti remained a strong, brash character, that she didn't fold like a house of cards under the gaze of the alpha male. I'm definitely excited to see where this goes. Next book now please!

I really liked this! It was funny where it needed to be and serious where it warranted. The chemistry between the main character and her equal is perfectly matched, equal parts playful and sparring. My only complaint was that the narrator read a bit slow but I kicked it up to 1.2x speed and it was perfect. On to book 2!

Just a little heads up for those who care. This is definitely more of an adult book than a YA. There were a few more F bombs than I care to read. Also there were quite a few mentions of men who’s balls become “warm tingling or clench” when fearful.
