I had a tough time with this book. I spent the first half of it trying to understand what was going on (I'm still a little unclear on what Invictus pairs are, to be honest, but I think I stopped trying after a while) and the second half realizing that although this is book 1 in a series, it's a spin-off from another series. I really think I would have been more engaged if I had either known that before or if there was a little more explanation in the beginning. Stepping into an established world can be tough and I never quite caught up with what was going on.So. Zephyr and Alesia have some issues they need to work out. They dated, they broke up, they both still want each other. If Alesia had simply explained why she took the stance she did on Zephyr's fighting, I think a lot of misunderstandings could have been avoided and they could have kept on having stellar sex without taking a break.So it goes.Meanwhile, there's this whole Blood Rose thing. Again, stepping into an established world isn't easy when it's assumed you know some of what came before. In this case I didn't and I stumbled.Ultimately, I think this seems like an interesting world, I just wish I hadn't started it with this book. A little prior knowledge of the world would have gone a long way in this case.-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
