I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)Okie dokie folks. Overall I would have to say I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this book to any avid fans of the paranormal, supernatural, fantasy genres. That being said, I will continue with my review. This is gonna be one of those slap-ya-then-kiss-it-better reviews!!Slaps:Okay, one of my biggest pet peeves is the ever popular “Insta Love” …. grrr. This book definitely gave off that vibe. It wasn’t terribly obvious but then Zach’s inner dialogue where he suddenly and passionately feels the need to protect Alex at all costs necessary. Riiight. And then after spending 2 (maybe 3) days together they start spouting out silliness like “forever” and “meant for each other” and “You’re mine. Only mine.” And of course “I love you”.The scenes with Duncan the Alpha Werewolf in the beginning just about drove me to stop reading this book right then and there. It was crazy distracting. The dialogue was awful. I get it, he has an accent – but was it really necessary to write it out over and over and over. And then it got way too mushy and personal way too fast. That’s a huge turnoff for me.Kisses:First off, the main character’s name Alexina is a gorgeous name. Totes agree with Zach on that point. Alexiiinnnaaaa. Such a pretty name. Props for that.I definitely loved the conspiracy theory and quest type feeling of the beginning – a great hook!The whole “Every generation there is a daughter born as Alexina who will continue on in a long line of Defenders of Man” was awesome. Very creative. Totally gave off some Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibes on that one.Zach certainly had some swoon worthy moments! The whole protector image is very sexy. This line just got to me: “He wanted to know her dreams and fears and what she most wanted in life. He needed to know these things, because he planned on making sure he gave them to her and rid her of any fears she may have.” I don’t know why but that sentiment was just so sweet to me.And may I just say that I absolutely loved loved loved the ending! If you’ve read the book then you know what I’m talking about! Eeek! So excited!!
