Renhala is an adventure of the epic sort!!  It is the kind of sweeping story that is filled with mystery and intrigue, danger and lighthearted moments, and even a bit of romance.Kailey Rooke, as the lead of the story, is hard not to love.  She has been through hell and back after a brutal attack that nearly killed her.  You could really feel her fear and her pain as she struggles to take her life back, move out of her mother's home and make a life for herself once again.The characters in this book are not all human, but together they form a group dynamic that makes for an intense, and fun, read.  Bu is a lovable character, an immense creature who, unlike the rest of his species, is sweet and loving and fiercely loyal.  Connor and Ladimer make for great love interests and, for most of the book, I couldn't decide which I loved more!This is a well-paced book with all kinds of quirks and unexpected twists and turns that kept me turning the pages.  At times the story was intense and serious, but other times there was a sweet touch of whimsy!Things to love about Renhala...--The characters.  Human or not, there was something about these characters that the reader is truly able to connect to, something I wasn't expecting but that I truly enjoyed.--The story world.  The author created a world that aligned so well with our own that, even though it is fantasy, it felt real.  I love fantasy that can feel possible!My recommendation:  Definitely a recommended read!
