Review: Good start to a new series
Rating: 3 out of 5

I liked the concept and storyline. The worlds & their politics were fleshed out very well. Cultures were defined clearly as were the biological imperatives that drove the Prime species.So why not more than 3 stars?The heroine, Melina - was too strong, almost superhuman, & the hero, Wulf - an Alpha's Alpha yet made nearly useless by the heroine. Who needs a man? Melina, doesn't, much...The author suffered the same issue with her SSI series, beginning with Eye of the Storm (Keely & Ren), and seemed to learn to balance her later characters a bit more. In the 2nd SSI installment, Cold Day in Hell (Callie & Risto) the heroine was still strong w/o being too over-the-top. I get the feeling that it will be the same with this 2nd installment of the Prime series. We meet the secondary characters (Nadia & Huw) in Prime Obsession and I could already see that easing in the same manner that 'Cold Day' had.So... Being already drawn into the Prime world and already rooting for Melina/Wulf, & Nadia/Huw. I will read the 2nd installment and hope that it sees the same improvements that the SSI series did.M.M. please keep 'em coming. They get better with each addition ; )
