One thing I particularly liked about Ruby was how she refused to get sucked into their debauchery and obscene life style of parties booze, drugs, anything. The use of fairy magic was incredibly twisted and kind of morbidly fascinating to read about at the same time. And also liked that she refused to be swept off her feet into Tam’s world with his obvious good looks and nice guy in a dark place routine. Her voice and demeanour throughout was so together for a teenager thrown into the situation she was. Once I got into it it was impossible to put it down. The story was so surprisingly dark and twisted. I thought from the blurb I was going to get a Cinderella retelling or something, but was totally wrong. I can easily see myself becoming very addicted to this series. Until the cliff hanger lead into the next book. The ending was perfect, and even made my eyes mist over. She grew throughout the book and really came into the world of the pack and came out head held high. Tamriel was an immensely likeable lead female, thrown into something she was completely unprepared for, and had to learn to cope with it. It was another thing that got better as the story developed.

Leyth started off reminding me of a Kresley Cole male alpha – me big strong man. There were several times I wanted to shove Tamriel and Leyth together and say just kiss already! The tension between them and the will they won’t they pull was a little annoying at first. Plenty of action, with a mix of sizzling romance and a healthy dollop of angst. Bonus points for being set in the UK, and even more points for not being set in London. Even the Pack structuring had a rather unique feel to it. So diverse and original with a mix of all sorts of supernatural beings. The beginning was a little choppy for me, odd use of words in some cases that didn’t seem to sit right in my opinion and a little repetitive, but I’m so glad i stuck with it as it turned out to be awesome. Fantastic start to a new paranormal romance. Request to view ARC approved by Netgalley.
