This book showed up on my Amazon list of recommended books and I kept going back to it. I was just so drawn to it. It is making me rethink my thoughts about para romance. I always worry that the paranormal components will be overshadowed by the romance. I am so glad that I read this book. In fact, I had a very hard time putting it down. To be honest, during the first chapter I kept wondering why she started the story there and not a year earlier. It did not take long for me to realize she started it just where it needed to be started.I'll tell you what I liked about it (I will work really hard at not being spoilery ):* The para elements were both familiar (vampire and witch and weres) and new (hot dragon/immortals)* The main characters were far from perfect, but you still understood them and cared for them even when they did things you wanted to yell at them for.* The minor characters were amazing. I am so excited this is going to be a series so I can learn more about them.* It had the "I do not want to stop reading this" factor.* It could be really dark in spots. I know that sounds wrong, but let's be honest what good is the point of an evil vamp if it is fluffed over and you do not sense the danger?* The author lives by me. I know that is a silly reason, but it makes me happy.* There is a minor character who is blind, but she is never portrayed as being weaker because of it. Rumor has it she is going to be a main character in the future :)!* If you love romance novels for the hawt adult scenes, do not worry there are plenty of those ;).Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be reading the next book when it is released.I would feel bad if I did not mention:If sexual assault and physical abuse are emotional buttons for you, this is probably not the book for you. A character in this book is healing from the aftermath of abuse and while you do not read about the actual assault, enough details are given that it might not be your best reading choice if you are a person that this hits too close to home for. That being said, I think it was a topic handled very well and enriches the story line.
