First off, I just want to say that I think the cover of Glimmer is stunning.  The fact that I found it so beautiful was almost reason enough to read it. Once I started reading, though, I found Glimmer instantly engaging.  The dialogue between Nina, an ER nurse, and her coworkers is quick and witty. Nina is a smart, tough and easy-to-love character.  I loved the fact that Nina was so strong and un-intimidated by anyone: her boss, her father, her fae mother, and especially Severin Saint Morgan.Ah...Severin Saint Morgan. I have plenty to say about him as well. Severin is werewolf. What makes him even hotter is that he is an Australian werewolf. When I started reading about Severin, I instantly pictured Martin Henderson (who I think is from New Zealand, but, close enough for me!).  The chemistry between Severin is instant and boiling hot. And wow! Vivi Anna can definitely write a fantastic love scene. I won't go into the details, but, believe me, you will definitely need a cold shower afterwards. Here's a small sample, my favorite passage from the book:"He tasted how he looked. Wild. Sexy. Dangerous. Delicious. I could have kissed him forever and not ever tire of the flavor."Vivi Anna does a great job at descriptive narrative. The way in which she describes the transformation Nina undergoes into her "true self" is riveting. I found myself writhing a little as I read along. Vivi Anna also gave a great sense of the desperation Nina feels as she struggles with her transformation and deciding who she'll trust.The only criticism I have for Glimmer is that I felt it was too short. The story is not lacking or incomplete. But I was ready to read on into the next "phase" of the story, which I'm hoping will be a sequel.So, if all that you've just read makes Glimmer seem like your kind of book, go check out Vivi Anna's site: [...]
