I really enjoyed this story.  It was well written and the characters were fascinating.  The only thing missing was the background.  What are Kurjans?  These appear to be more like the mythical vampires.  What war were they fighting?  What happened when the mates were infected with the virus?  And who is Janie?  She seems very sweet and does a lot to humanize Max in the beginning, we get a teaser of her and then she gets mentioned throughout the book.  WHY is she more important than the king?  She's not even the King's daughter or stepdaughter!  Yes, I know there are other books, but a bit more information would have made it perfect... but then again, sometimes when the author repeats the entire storyline, that gets annoying too.  Almost like they cut and paste parts of other books and put them into the current one as filler.But short of missing parts of the story, I really enjoyed the fast pace, the alpha Max and I even liked the heroine, though she seemed to be able to adapt rather quickly...  I might have been a tad more cautious, but then I've probably read too many horror stories to accept things at face value!A good fast read, I think it only took a couple of hours and then suddenly it was done.  Definitely an appetizer for the entire series.  In fact, it made me want to read more by Zanetti.
