Review: VERY similar to Laurann Dohner's New Species series - but nowhere near as good.
Rating: 3 out of 5

Let me preface that while a little too similar to the New Species series that it is difficult to find a truly original idea any more. There is a good deal of promise to this storyline, and much more background for the author to flesh out as she goes.Likes:The heroine is NOT a namby-pamby, whiny woman. She is strong and sure of herself, most of the time, and rarely second  guesses her decisions. She stands up for her rights and fights for others as well.The hero, while sometimes uncertain of how to approach situations, isn't overwhelmingly alpha. Well, not once Erica sets him straight anyway ;-) His primary struggles are those of a man who has been institutionalized all his life. He has a learning curve, socially and especially with women. He accepts his own limitations and works to improve upon them.Secondary characters are great! Erica's bff, Kate, is a spitfire. I can't wait till read her story next :-)Dislikes:This story requires editing. A lot of editing. Constant misuse of woman/women, for example.A more in-depth explanation of how these hybrid beings came to be is very much needed. I'm assuming the author will expound on this as the series grows (hopefully).Spoiler alert: directly following an attack on Erica (heroine) she changes her mind about living with Sol. This decision was not in character.Overall, not a bad start for this author. I will buy the next in the series and see if the storyline improves.
