This was another great book by Barbara Elsborg.  If you've read her books before, you know that she tends to have great character development in them.  While I did enjoy this book, I only gave it 4 stars because I find that her books and her characters are becoming very repetitive.The premise behind this book is a MMF relationship.  And while Ms. Elsborg has written MMF books before, the twist in this one is that Taylor doesn't realize that he may be interested in men.  In fact, I don't think that he's ever been interested in men before.  So that was a new twist.  On the other hand, the author didn't do a great job of introducing and exploring how Taylor comes to accept this new aspect of his life.I liked the paranormal aspect of this story, but again, I think it needed a longer book to really flesh it out.As for the familiarity of the characters and plot:Roo is a very typical Elsborg heroine.  Glass always half-full, short hair (can we please get a heroine with long hair just for variety?), extremely quirky, down-on-her-luck, family issues, etc.Taylor is the typical Elsborg hero with baggage that makes him cranky and mean.  You know, he comes from a fantastic and loving family background, only something goes horribly wrong in their lives, which ends up making Taylor bitter and disillusioned.Niall is just beautiful.  But that's because he's not really human.Despite the negative points of my review, I did enjoy this book and I would recommend it.  But, like I said, I think the author should think about adding a little variety to her books.  I understand that each author has a trademark, but I think there is a difference between a trademark writing style and cookie cutter books.Also, note to Elsborg readers:  the heat level of this book is a little lower than in her previous books.  I think that's because this is more about the characters coming to an understanding with each other than just going at it like rabbits.
