I don't read a lot of romance stories, but paranormal romance is something I am always up for. The summary had me thinking, shape-shifters and the idea of eternal life. I was surprised by how much more this story had to it.When going into the story, it really seemed like it would heavier on the romance than any paranormal aspects, but once it gets going, I did not want to put the book down. There is a certain something about Cait that I admired. She represents a very non-judgmental and helping compassion to mankind that it gave me a feeling of, well admiration of her. I think that as she is the foundation of the story, her character is the most important to get right in doing a retelling. I would love to read more renditions of this story, it's pretty engrossing.Cait is a very motherly character. When people fall sick and she thinks that she can help. She gives absolutely not second thought to not try to help. No matter the consequences. She is ready to go head first into battles (and there is an amazing one at the end of this story)I think that when a character is surrounded by people that support and would die for them, it shows a lot about them. Charlie and Alice have complete devotion to Cait even when they don't agree with her actions, they always support her, and fight with her.There were so many levels to the story. It did take me a while to get into the story, get wrapped up into the world. It really is a "This cocktail of oriental magic, vampires, and sword fights" It was a lot of fun to read, with a lot of adventure and something I wanted to pick up and read again as soon as I finished it.
