"Supernatural Seduction" by Aneesa Price is the second instalment of her Coffin Girls series, a fun filled, chick-lit, paranormal extravaganza with suspense and fantastic characters. The Coffin Girls are a group of supernatural/ paranormal girl warriors with individual blends of witch-craft and empathetic powers.Witch-vampire Sophie is the centre of this book, as is her romantic interest in the dubious fae prince Sylvain a handsome man with seductive powers that have given him a bit of a reputation.The book starts with what appears a trap for the coffin girls and introduces the problem of changelings who take the place of the real person and infiltrate the warrior group. I won't spoil the plot by telling you much more.In this series Aneesa Price has established a great bunch of characters that are the foundation for all the flirtation, action, adventure and magick. I love Miss Suzette, one of the year-wise younger characters who however has a biological older appearance and who mothers everyone. Then there is the sorceress Arianna, another interesting and memorable character.A lot of thought has gone into this book; Price is not just another vampire writer. Her thoughtfulness and depth reveals itself in many great passages, such as one scene where the use of herbs in both magic and homoeopathy is being discussed. I also loved the dream sequences that reveal key scenes of Sophie's past, which were very well done without laying on symbolism or being too obvious (as so often seems to happen in dream sequences in books)As Sophie and Sylvain are getting closer to each other they are both faced with demons of their respective past, above mentioned dreams and their fears.As the title suggests there are some erotic scenes and as the genre implies, there is some action and violence, the pace is not too fast, allowing the relationships to develop realistically and the sub-plots to unfold without rushing and forcing events.Mainly, however, it is a great and very believable romance between unlikely yet likeable characters. Beautiful.
