Review: Likable characters that lack motivation; some editing errors

Aside from a few things, I really enjoyed this book. I'm not sure I'm "justified" in liking it though...Let's start with the negatives:- errors: wrong words (site vs. sight, etc), missing words- repetitiveness: the number of times a character (one in particular) 'collapses'- the use of the word 'drug' as the past tense of 'drag' (this really bothered me...I know I'm anal)- characters that lacked depth, motivation, and background information (this made it hard to understand why characters were doing anything)Now on to the positives:- the gist of the plot is very interesting and moves at a good pace- there are some very emotional scenes that worked in favor of the characters (admittedly I get pretty darn emo reading)- the chemistry between the two main characters was sizzling (IMHO)So why would I give this book 4 stars? Well, I just really liked it. The negatives listed above definitely bothered me, but I'm hoping that because this was just the first book in what seems like a series, the subsequent book(s) will be better in every aspect.Who would I recommend this book to? Frankly, quite a lot of people, though I would tell them not to get their hopes up too high. It was a fairly quick read that got under my skin pretty fast. People who enjoy: paranormal (not your usual PNR book, but pretty much there since characters have super-human abilities), romance, some erotica, and probably a few genres I'm forgetting ATM.Still, I look forward to reading the next book!
