“She's a human ballerina with a target on her back. He's a better-than-most guy finding his way in life alone. Oh, and he's an alpha from a good family who hates it all.

“This story was a surprise - the point of view was new, it was lighthearted given the context, and it was a new take on vampires that I hadn't considered. I rated it below 4.0 stars because I couldn't get the picture of a creepy benefactor in love with a prima ballerina out of my head. It made me grimace.” - Cardigan B

“Freaking yes. We got some major action and some non-Academy story. Darius keeps disappointing me, but he's so broken by his dad that I can kinda get it. But Tory is over it. I can't wait to see what happens with the 5th element in book 4.” - Cardigan B

“Love a wolf-fated-to-a-vampire story! Bloom is our resident vampire in hiding, clever and witty. Addicted to caffeine (hello, darkness, my old friend).

“Good book. Too damn long. Cirri is the accidental bride to a misshapen vampire king. Bane is marrying to keep peace in the kingdom. They're kind of perfect together. The patience it takes for them to communicate and get to know one another was necessary. My patience, however, wasn't so generous.” - Cardigan B
