So it's been a couple weeks since I read this one but I have to say I am still thinking about it. I've even become a slight stalker on Stacey Brutger's web page. I really need book 2, like yesterday. Obsessed I tell you, obsessed! :)This book was awesome. It was unique and had everything I love about Para/Urban Fantasy. Raven reminded me of the early days of Anita Blake and from me that's a compliment cuz I love the early Anita Blake books. Raven is the kind of chick I would so want for my BFF. She is strong without being a b*tch. Independent, powerful and willing to do what she must to protect the ones that have come into her life. She's got several love interests and while romance is not the key element of the book the chemistry between her and these men rock!Raven is a kick butt heroine. She also has quite a menagerie of power going on. I know that this drives some people crazy but for this book it really works. Raven starts out very closed off from anyone, she wont let anyone touch her and emotionally she is very shut down. For very good reason but still...The men are deliciously awesome. They all have distinct personalities and I never felt like I was reading about the same guy over and over. I really hope she ends up with all of them. I know, I know, that's a lot of men for one woman but Raven can totally handle it. There is the very sweet and damaged, Taggert, who also happens to be a were-wolf. Jackson, who is also a were-wolf and in the beginning I wasn't sure what I thought of him but by the end I loved him. Durrant, is a were-tiger and I am excited to see where the relationship goes. Last but certainly not least Ryland the very deliciously dark and mysterious vampire.The writing and world building where really awesome. Stacey Brutger is a writer to watch and I will definitely be reading anything she writes.I recommend this book to anyone who loves a really good para/urban fantasy book.If you haven't read it, do, go buy it. Its good, really good.
