Creatus is the 1st book in a paranormal romance series.  I LOVE the cover!  Once I started it, I read it in 2 days...The heroine is Kris.  Kris has led a hard life.  She witnessed the violent death of her mother when she was very young.  This is when she meets Derrick, her hero, as he jumps from a building roof to save her from meeting the same end as her Mom.Kris grows up in multiple uncaring foster homes.  She sees Derrick again... and again.  He seems to appear only when she is in danger.  She longs to talk and get to know him as she wants someone in her life and she also doesn't understand why he has become her protector, so as the book opens, she is planning to purposely put herself in mortal danger to bring him out.Her hero, Derrick, is a Creatus.  Creatus are not human but they live and mingle within the human world.  They are endowed with abilities surpassing the normal human including increased strength, speed, and hearing.This is the 1st book I've read by Carmen DeSousa and a good start to this new series.  The characters are very well-developed but there were times I felt that the story was stalled. I like that the ending makes you want to read the next story, but it's NOT a cliff-hanger leaving the reader on the edge until the next release.  (I hate cliff-hangers so that is good!)I'm looking forward to the book in this series...  3 1/2 Stars!!!!!!
