Two worlds, one desire. When the two collide, fate will rip them apart and test their resolve. Will darkness and evil prevail? Or, will love conquer all?
My
Thoughts:
Well when I began reading, everything was super confusing, but after
some time some main things cleared, and the book got even more interesting.
Well you get to follow Marcus aka immortal guardian aka vampire, who is blessed
by gods with a mate. There is a saying by Oscar Wilde: “when gods wish to
punish us, they answer to our prayers.” And as Wilde’s gods these gods are also
arrogant, and do as they wish. This time, Marcus’s mate is human – Cassandra.
Follow both Marcus and Cassandra in their amazing adventures and love fest. I
was laughing, crying, shouting, wanting to kill, hating alongside the
characters.
The only thing which is still a mystery for me is, really from which
mythology are the gods? I seriously had problems only with that. In other
aspects, everything was great. I got lots of action, new interesting characters
to meet. And really guys, there are dragons, or shifters which can shift into
dragons. And well, there are so many different villains it was actually really
interesting to read about them. You never get bored of the book, and that is
one of the best parts of it. You like Cassie, and well, you like her reasoning.
And well, I myself was amazed by how well and amazing was Eliza aka the bitch
villain aka… (you will know that aka yourself) described. I mean, she so damn
crazy! And well, her offspring, that’s something I wish to read more about in
the second book.
What was so unique in this book? I mean if we exclude dragons,
dragon-shifters, some crazy demon and vampire immortal villains, and some
amazingly arrogant gods, amazing lead characters? Well not much, and that’s
what I mean. The author had an amazing imagination, and the world she made? I
mean wow, that’s something. Without the spunk she had woven into it, without
the crazy characters, the book is just our average paranormal romance. But when
she put all that staff into it, it became an awesome read. The only thing as I
have already said was that I seriously had problems putting mythology and gods
from the book together, so I will greatly appreciate if any of you will tell me
which mythology she uses. I mean I have read lots of it, and don’t remember any
Zareks. But if it was all a plot of her imagination, jeez, I do want to have
that kind of imagination, it will definitely help me to think up some excuses.
I won’t bore you more with my blabbing, I hope I made myself clear that
I liked the book, and that I think that you will too, and that I am super
waiting for the second one. Don’t miss your chance to get lost in a new world
created only for you by Valerie Twombly (okay I am be exaggerating a bit J). grab your copy
now, and Happy Reading!!!! Don’t forget to leave c0mments and stop by the blog
more often JJJ!!!!!!!!
