I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*********The storytelling from Ms Maloney whisks you away to a hidden paranormal world in today's society. It starts off with an odd question at the gym and then tragedy strikes and Robyn's life is in upheaval. And that is when the suspense begins!While there are many werewolves and vampire novels out there, this is a story that has wonderful twists and turns, a slow but steady build up with action that keeps it interesting, and its own story/plot that keeps you from becoming bored. I had a difficult time getting into the book at first, but as each page turned, my interest was piqued more and more. I enjoyed the overall arc of the story and the characters, especially in instances where Raylyn and Robyn demonstrate their status as alpha or submissive as well as when they break those pigeonholes to step out of their comfort zones. The descriptions of other characters and the visceral responses Robyn (and others) has to them is remarkable and believable.What this book needs is editing. There are some areas that were too drawn out that could use a little trimming/redirection back to the story.  There were also numerous punctuation, homonym, and other grammatical errors that I found irritating and extremely distracting, knocking me out of Reader Zone. If those were cleaned up, I could see this book receiving glowing accolades from the paranormal romance junkies and a group following demanding more. It could happen...the story was left open enough that there could be more in this world!
