Frist, judge this book by it's cover, please. Absolutely stunning. Creatus' cover truly sets the mood for the book.I was initially drawn to this book because Carmen DeSousa and I have a favorable author/reader relationship, and because the premise of this book was dark and romantic. Just what I like. I was initially expecting a "divinity" of sorts to come into play. But I was wrong. This book is about taking bold chances and Creatus (vampires, more or less), strength and relationships - but while the romance is certainly a part of it, it's not the complete book.Book One was very satisfying, it is evidently a great setup for the rest of the series. There are unanswered questions which have you eagerly anticipating the next installment. But not so unanswered that we're left cursing Ms. DeSousa because of a cliff hanger. This could easily stand on it's own... all though I'm not sure who wouldn't come back to it.Ms. DeSousa has great character development too. No character is too one thing or another, and her hero and heroine stand well alone. These superb characters only become better as they come together.Overall my impression on where the Creatus Series is going is quite positive.
