"Was a little confused in the beginning, but caught on. I don't think Michael and Alex's love is believable until further in the series, which is odd because this book is their story. Still enjoyed it though, just not as much as the rest of the series, probably because I knew what was going on by then."
"Dr. Alexander Keller is Chicago's most brilliant reconstructive surgeon and she'll pay for it dearly. Kidnapped away by Micheal Cyprien New Orlean's reclusive millionaire to fix his horribly disfigured face. Micheal passes off his disfigurement from a regenerative powers. He heals almost immediately and that's why he needs Alex's world renowned fast fingers to fix him. Only she will pay dearly for it, with her life. This a fast read that's pretty good. Alex's stubbornness is admirable and Micheal's domineering ways make him seem like a centuries old man, no pun intended. I'm not one to read multiple viewed books but this was better than I expected."
"I liked this book, but I think potential readers should keep one thing in mind; this, despite the classification, is not a romance. Yes, there is a love story, but the primary focus of the book is world building, and the story is a paranormal thriller with a romance sub plot. If I judge the book this way, I like it a lot. If I were to judge it as a romance, it would fail, because Viehl's primary purpose is not developing romantic love; it's the story of one a woman and her brother and their dangerous involvement in the world of the Darkyn and the Brethren (enemies of the Darkyn). The world building is intricate; Viehl has a strong and compelling voice, and the characters are nicely drawn.
Unlike other reviewers, I did not dislike the heroine. She can be a bit abrasive, but I found this more realistic and true to life. I am heartily sick of sweet, silly, perfect heroines. Alex read to me like a real woman, who had real issues stemming from losing her parents and her brother. She also had the distinction of being one of the few Romance heroine surgeons, who I actually believed was a surgeon, rather than Doctor Barbie. The hero was slightly more problematic, because he did not seem to be as developed, and his motivations were less clear.
This book is part of a series that I am enjoying, and reading it is necessary to really appreciate the other books. If you approach this expecting a good paranormal, rather than a good Romance, I think you will find yourself pleased and intrigued enough to continue with the rest of the Darkyn saga."
"I had such a hard time getting through this book. It was just way too much going on, and frankly i found it boring. I liked the connection between the doctor and the darkwyn ( i cant even remember their names ) but it seemed that the author decided to not make them the main focus of the book. I actually couldn't even finish it."
