Soooo...I really enjoyed this book. I’m a little surprised, because urban fantasy hasn’t typically been something I’m interested in. I picked this up because I kept hearing this author recommended as fantasy with good romantic subplots. I’m so glad I did because I’m hooked.

How hooked? Well, I listened to this book on audio and absolutely HATE the job the voice actor does. Nevada (our protagonist) is 25 years old, but this woman’s voice sounds like the voice of a 60 year old woman. The way she voices Adam (antagonist) and Rogan (the love interest) is even creepier. They sound like a couple of old leches. Not sexy at all. Somehow, I was able to still really enjoy the story.

The characters are interesting and flawed. I loved Nevada and her family dynamic. I really enjoyed the scenes with Rogan interacting with them, and how they take care of him but also don’t let him off the hook when he does something wrong.

I really enjoy Nevada and Rogan together as well. Not just as love interests, but also as equals trying to find out the truth about what is happening.

Also, I was a little surprised at the level of slow burn here. There is only one scene in the book that even approaches being considered a ‘sex scene’ and it is right near the end of the book. I feel like this is slow burn done right though. They’ve got a lot of obvious interest and heat. She wants him. She knows it, he knows it, everyone else knows it. And it pisses her off. Love that.


Now I’m contemplating whether I should jump into the next audiobook, which is readily available on Overdrive, or wait the 2-3 weeks for my turn to read an e-book copy...and I’m leaning toward the audiobook!
