Review: Hard to put down once it gets rolling!

CREATUS by Carmen DeSousa is well-written, imaginative, and suspenseful, with appealing supernatural (and human) characters, all of whom have all-too-human flaws. The beginning of the story requires a bit of patience, but the story quickly kicks into high gear and becomes a real page-turner. CREATUS is more than just a paranormal roller coaster ride, though. It has real heart, and the characters face as much emotional peril as physical danger.I enjoyed the wish-fulfillment aspect of a superhuman race committed not just to coexisting with humans, but to protecting them as well. Of course, something has to go wrong, and when it rains, it pours. But, as with all powers, the greatest is love, and in CREATUS, it is both heartwarming and passionate.I'm not a fan of cliffhanger endings, so its non-ending is my only real quibble with CREATUS. Still, the TWILIGHT books and Sookie Stackhouse novels use the same technique. It certainly keeps readers hungry for more!
