Just finished this...and WOW... I'm truly impressed by the quality of this self-published novella. It's not often that I can say I've read something truly original in the paranormal genre, but I'm able to say it here.  I mean, how many ways can a guy shift into a wolf's body? How many varieties of vamp bites could there be? I've often thought witches were an underrepresented literary species, and the author has done a great job of creating their world in a short piece of work, not something easily done. I might have wished for more background and details, but we got more than enough for the plot to make sense. I had none of those WTH just happened moments here, as too often happens in a paranormal tale.The characters were both well developed and likeable.  Alyssa seems like a girl you might like to have as a friend, and Mark...well, I think we all know how we'd like to get to know Mark! Steamy scenes were well-placed and made sense within the story...not to mention HOT! Nothing was overdone though, and nothing crass or crude - this wouldn't have worked with the characters, so I'm glad Ms. Lupton chose to stick with tasteful!All in all, a very satisfying read...are we to hear more about this world from Ms. Lupton? Maybe a series (hint, hint)...certainly plenty here to work with.
