Stolen is the third book in Jodie's Song of the Sidhi Series and it is the first one I have had the immense pleasure of reading. Now I am going to have to read Forbidden Temptation of a Vampire and A Dragon's Dream of Love. Jodie creates an unique world of Vampires and other Fantastical creatures, unlike anything I have ever read. Her characters are fun and intriguing as they take on puberty in there own special way.Katrina - is a beautiful vampire who went from a stick to a curvy young woman in about 3 weeks. She misses her best  friend, as he has avoided her since she went through puberty. When her body signals her lifeMate she is ecstatic. Until...Eric - is the boy next door. He is a couple years younger than Katrina, but they have been friends since she was 10. He has yet to go through puberty so he is finding Katrina's maturity unsettling to say the least.Clarisse - is the evil girl who is looking for revenge. She is willing to break one of the most precious covenants of the Vampires in order to fulfill her hatred of Katrina.Jared - is one of Katrina's cousins who is willing to help her free Eric of a destiny that was not meant for him.Nick - is another of Katrina's cousins who supports her and her plan. Eventually.Man, I really wish I had known about these books before. The passion in this book is different from the instant love you read about in so many other works of fiction. This species has a true soul mate. A single soul mate and if something happens to interfere with this natural phenomenon, the soul mates would be forced to live life without ever having a bonded mate. Their bodies "sing" for their lifeMates. When this happens, no one can interfere without causing dishonor to themselves and their families.The story is told from Katrina's point of view, allowing you into her world and her intense feelings. Jodie, does however, build her world so that you feel the emotions of Eric and Clarissa also. Katrina is a very strong protagonist who knows how to get what is hers. A definite must read for those who enjoy fantastical worlds and unusual characters.Two of my favorite quotes:"He chuckled. The deep, rumbling sound of his changed voice startled him and he boomed with laughter. Hot damn! He'd been so worried about so many other things, primarily Trina, he hadn't noticed how big he'd grown.""His heart raced. Leaning down, he kissed my neck, licking the pulsing vein.Slowly, once, twice. By the third lick, my body was simmering with need. With each slow lick, my body shuddered under the onslaught of my mate's touch....My core heated from a simmer to a slow burn. I squirmed under the lenght of his body, feeling him grow hard in response to my movements. I slid my hands across the hard surface of his chest, relishing in the feel of his satiny skin."I know, I know. Again with the love scenes. Get used to it!
