I have to say this one took me by surprise, and I really enjoyed it. I was lucky enough to pick it up as part of the blog tour.Ok I will warn you this one may be a long one.I really did enjoy this book. Shannon Pheonix has done an excellent job working supernaturals into the regular world in a very smooth and seamless fashion. I found her slow addition of characters made the story easier to digest. Now after complaining about the summary giving too many things away I don't want to do it myself but I do feel the need to mention that there are Gargoyles! I mean Gargoyles, you know stone figures on churches and castles, who walk and talk. Their interaction with the main characters really made this book for me. Alright, enough spoilers lets move on.I enjoyed the romance between Hamish and Desiree. Desiree is a little stubborn, but willing to take a chance and of course Hamish is your typical Alpha male. As far as love stories go I found it endearing that Hamish had held out for 400 years. That is true love as only an author can right, lets face it in real life people tend to move on in months not years. But isn't that one of the reasons we enjoy romances? They give us everything real life is unable to.Another enjoyable part was the limited sex scenes. This is a romance novel so although there were I think two or three scenes they do not dominate the storyline. It has been awhile since I have read a romance that wasn't filled with sex scenes, this was a nice change of pace.A Wolfs Song has a truly original story line with fantastically crafted supernaturals. It takes a lot to surprise me and this one did. I will be keeping my eyes open for the next one in the series.
