What?! I didn't know it was the first book of a new series! I thought it was a stand alone! Oh God, now I'll have to wait until december to read the sequel! You are so cruel to me for how you left me at this book's end! It's not fair! At all! I am a little disappointed.I was given this book for free in exchange of a review for Lovers Of Paranormal group on GR.I can't say I liked this book a lot. It was okay, and I guess I enjoyed the adventure. But I wasn't very impressed. Especially by the main character, Sariel. I didn't like her much, especially for the first half of the book. She was stupid, a little childish and naive. And I liked even less her decision to do what she did only to not disappoint her new friend. And what a wonderful friend! (sarcasm!) It was a stupid decision, and for the stupidest of the reasons. That single action was the catalyst for everything that happened afterwards in the story. Again, stupid!Alexander was okay. Maybe a little too distracted and unfocused and made many mistakes but a nice character and was clear he somehow cared for Sariel, even though I didn't understand the reason. I kept waiting for something to happen between them (Alexander and Sariel) but nothing. I was always disappointed. Sad. And frustrating.I liked a lot Tamiro, for most part of the story, and, again,I kept waiting for more to happen between him and Sariel. But kept being disappointed. *sigh*The bad guy was really bad and very much evil.The story was good, even though it seemed a little too rushed sometimes. I would have liked more...I don't know.. just more. I had the the feeling like something was missing sometimes. Like it was all to easy and ended too quick.That's why I am disappointed by the way the book ended. I was there reading the last lines and suddenly there's the author's note. And I was there with my mouth gaping like a stupid fish and thinking "What?! Is this the end already??? What? Why? What happened??"Frustrating!
