I got this book in a collection of books called Magic After Dark for the Kindle. It was cheap (I think 99 cents) for the group of books and I am SO glad I got it. I read mostly Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance so I am always looking for new series to get lost in while waiting for new releases from favorite authors. A lot of times I pick up anthologies just to find new writers I like.This was the first book I read in the anthology and it was fantastic! I am docking one star because in some ways I feel like I am coming into the story without all the background, but I was able to pick mostly everything up so it made sense. I imagine if I read her other books (which I am dying to do now!) all the holes will fill in.I am not only looking forward to reading the rest of Reine's series, but I am eager to find out how good the other books in the collection are! This book is a strong start, for sure.I really enjoyed Elise's character and of course Rylie. Lincoln I am on the fence about. I decided fairly early on that he is a little whacked, and that impression has stuck because his story line hasn't resolved. I find Abel and Seth to be very interesting and I can't wait to find out what is going to happen to them in the coming books. I'd like to see more of Anthony and Elise's network at home. This is where reading the other series Reine has written will come in handy, I think. This world she has created isn't new and I have to catch up. The book is a stand alone as the start of a new series, but there is some info missing that would flesh it out more.Best buck I've spent in a LONG time! Thank you, SM Reine!
