Review: Terrific Characters in a Compelling Story

There are just a very, very VERY select few authors that can entice me to read books with a first person POV format. Tiffany Allee is a member of that elite group. I especially loooove the fact that the POV switches from heroine to hero on a regular basis. I find it really hard to get involved with a character when I have no insights to their thoughts or feelings. Being the herocentric book skank that I am, this eliminates a great deal of books from my possible reading list. That's why I always jump at the chance to read a Tiffany Allee book.I absolutely adored Karson. He was tough, damaged, scarred and had all but forsaken his humanity in pursuit of vengeance. Seeing Ava (I loved the old school names!) knock Karson on his hardened, but nicely muscled tuckus was a treat. He recognized her inner goodness at once and knew when she instantly ignited his he-man protective genes, she was going to mean BIG trouble for him. His inner battles were just delicious.Ava was extremely skittish, which of course was wise but still stood on a nerve. When her distrust leads to a FUBAR of major proportions, she did put on her worthy heroine panties and step up to the plate and thus gained the Sebella seal of approval. What was fantastic about Ava was her willingness to face up to the fact that she committed a major no-no. She didn't try to finagle her way out, I just thought this was EPIC. Not only does she take responsibility for herself, but for Karson and her best friend Miriam, heck she puts the whole of humanity on her small but incredibly strong shoulders.While this book is strongly character driven, there is an awesome story that takes place, demons, hunters, psychics, betrayal and good heartwarming romance. Not only did it warm my heart but it also reached a few other regions as well. While Ava needed to keep herself distant from physical touch, when she finally was able to let go, my girl was hell on wheels. (insert off color remark about Karson driving *snort*). I am keeping an eye on Karson's fellow hunter Caleb, and a few other secondarys that snagged my attention and curiosity. I certainly hope to see more of this crew and implore you to join the fan club.
