I'm big on paranormal reading, whether its vamps, weres, fae, or other. The typo/grammar errors were so minute, that even my OCD-brain could easily move past it and forget it was even there as I continued on into the next sentence. Considering other freebies and the amounts of gross neglect given by authors, I applaud Ms Brooks. I enjoyed the "sass and whit" of the main character, Phaedra.My only "critique", is that I felt the story offered too little explanation, not enough details pertaining to the Sidhe, the Hunt, the spectors, how they all connect in the "Sithin", and etc. Having studied cultural mythology myself, I saw the various aspects in which the author drew her inspiration from, borrowing and adding to different myths and legends. But I still felt there was a missing element(s) which "secured" her made-up world, tying it all together in uniformed clarity in a manner that the reader could  comprehend and define this paranormal world she has created. That being said, I still enjoyed the book enough to which I will be purchasing the box set that has all 3 books for the series (cheaper than buying each book separately.) I understand this is a series, in which I know not all answers are always given in the first book. And in my experience, authors in which Ms Brooks seems to be, the rest only get better. Having other published author friends that I beta read, I can tell you, writing a book is much like weight lifting. The more you do it, the better in mechanics and technical and strength you become, and I fully see the potential in Ms Brooks.
