I am a fan of Ms. Dubrinsky's. As a fan I have come to expect her books to be well plotted and entertaining, and in this offering she does not disappoint. I will not recap this book but I will touch on a few things. Pros: I love that through this book, the author has kind of come full circle, in a manner of speaking. If you have read her Dark God Saga, then you are familiar with the Titans and the gods of Olympus, and their existence among contemporary society. Well in this book, Violette not only brings some of them back into the narrative, but she connects their existence to that of paranormal creatures like weres, witches, and druids. Awesome and unexpected! She even goes into great detail to explain the nature of each one's existence. For a novice to paranormals, like me, this was greatly appreciated. As usual the book is well written, the primary and secondary characters are interesting, and yay...this is a full length novel. Cons: This book is a full length novel. Anyone who reads IR books, is probably just as conditioned as I am to expect a bit of brevity. As such, finding a book in this genre that is over 200 pages is an anomaly. I'm conditioned to expect the book to setup the story, give me some conflict, and resolve everything. Because of this, I found that I kept waiting on the book to wrap it up, but it took longer than expected to do just that. I'm not really sure that this is a con, but it was the only thing that left me with an odd feeling after reading it. Other than that, this book was awesome, and I can't wait to read what happens with Drew/Drusilla!
