Rating: 5 out of 5

After strange accidents happen around her, Daria (heroine) begins to think maybe the world is out to get her.  And it is.  Her blood grants powers and if monsters eat her, they get to become immortal.  Whoever marries her (if you are in the right birth order) gets to rule.  Enter the hot blind date Jason (hero) who rescues her and has loved her for years.Ms. Shea's paranormal romance is filled with creatures that readers are familiar with and many that are not seen in the average book creating unique story.  Daria is the driven attorney which speaks to the modern working woman as she balances dating and work. Jason would make any romance reader salivate and balances alpha protective tendencies with giving the heroine her space.  Interesting supporting characters also help to keep the dialogue and plot twists interesting.Within the story, there seems to be an underlying theme of acceptance, not only of one's choices, but of yourself.  Daria realizes what she wants to prioritize in her life while Jason finally understands what he is willing to sacrifice for his love.  And everyone loves a story where love can conquer all.The ending surprised me and the story left a few unanswered questions that I hope will be addressed in a sequel.  There are already hints at another pairing and Ms. Shea has left a few loose ends that will serve for an action-packed sequel.5 of 5 for unique paranormal romance that breaks away from the typical vamp/were/kick-butt heroines.**ARC received for an honest review and I had to buy it for my iPad**
