Review: Unexpectedly Great

I almost didn't read Highland Sorcerer (the first in the series) because I saw that The Vampire and the Highland Empath was the sequel, and I thought adding vampires into the mix of time travel and sorcery sounded a bit over-the top.  Apparently, vampires aren't the only creature in this horrific world Eeden has woken up in.  There are gremlins, ghouls, and one beautifully terrifying monster I won't reveal.  But somehow all of this makes perfect sense amidst the backdrop of the of WWII and the true life battle scenes.  Roque is an amazing hero.  He knows his weaknesses.  He knows the brutality and the invincibility of his enemies.  Despite all of this, he perserveres.  Eeden is a beautiful heroine.  She too perseveres despite the overwhelming odds, but the best thing about her is her is her adaptability and open heart. They are a most unexpected but perfect couple.  Although this book is shorter than the first, it feels longer and has a greater depth.
