Prejudice has been rampant in Canada since werewolves have come out into the open. Nina Decker keeps her own supernatural ties a secret. She's half fae, but harbors a deep resentment for her full-blooded fae mother. Her mother abandoned her and left her with her fae-struck human father. Nina has vowed never to do the same to another man but something about werewolf Severin Saint Morgan intrigues her. Unfortunately, the fae and werewolves are ancient enemies....Vivi Anna is a master at writing urban fantasy and paranormal romances that keep the reader on the edge of the seat and GLIMMER is no exception. GLIMMER ventures into the world of the fae but these are not the friendly fae some are used to. Instead, these fae can be quite deadly and Vivi Anna doesn't pull any punches at showing us this, whether it's through the violence the fae so gleefully commit or their callous disregard for others. Through Nina's eyes, we begin seeing the rules of the world emerge as Vivi Anna does an awesome job with world building.However, it is the characters who truly make this storyline work. Nina's own dislike of the fae along with her willingness to look beyond a person's supernatural ethnicity makes her an excellent lead character for a story such as GLIMMER. I couldn't help but cheer her on as she stood up to the established powers and rules governing the fae and the werewolves. Her dislike of humans being fae-struck only added to my admiration for her.GLIMMER ends on a cliffhanger, one that has me hoping Vivi Anna publishes the next installment in the series very soon! Highly recommended!COURTESY OF CK2S KWIPS AND KRITIQUES
