I got the first chapter for this book on my kindle. I got sucked so thoroughly into it that I immediately had to have the full book. I read it in one sitting and was a very tired girl at work the next day. I was surprised to find this was a first book by this author as the character development was good and the writing style mature. This reminded me a bit of the worlds of JR Ward and Kresley Cole but with a spin all her own. I am definitely excited to see where she goes with this series. Both the Hero and Heroine on this book are great character but the heroine was particularly fun and of course the hero was scorchingly hot. I am anxious to see where this world goes!

Absolutely fantastic! I totally loved this book. Pia Giovanni has been kept protected by her mother for her entire life. Hiding from...well everyone. She is half-human, half-wyr though she has no idea what she would become since she cannot shift. Her mother has convinced her that it is extremely dangerous to let anyone know about her abilities. In her loneliness, she tells her boyfriend one thing and he uses it to blackmail her. Of course Pia is smarter than the average bear and she does what her boyfriend (um ex-boyfriend) wants though with a twist. When she steals a single penny from the all powerful, ancient wyr, Dragos Cuelebre she finds herself running from Dragos. She knows without fail that he will rend her limb from limb for her audacity. But surprise surprise, Dragos does not harm her but instantly becomes possessive and obsessed with her. On their way back to New York, they are involved in a car accident and kidnapped by Goblins. Upon their escape they are attacked by the Dark Fae. It is a roller-coaster ride of excitement and adventure from start to finish.
I loved the characters and most of the supporting ones as well. I liked the snarkiness between Dragos and Pia and their ability to step back from a situation and talk it out without all the misunderstandings usually found in romance books. Dragos is very alpha-like and Pia holds nothing back...she tells it like it is which is refreshing. I am definitely going to break my New Year's resolution and immediately purchase the next few books in this series. I just can't wait to read Storm's Heart and see the sparks fly between Tricks and Tiago. I just knew they were going to be lovers.
