Gave this story a 2.5 because I enjoyed the story-line. But other than that I was bored. At one point put the book down for several weeks dreading to pick it back up. I didn't really think the story had a very good climax/resolution. Just felt like I was reading to get to the last page out of commitment to finish the story so I could get on to book 3.

This book is actually two separate novellas instead of a novel. Unfortunately this wasnt apparent to me until the first story came to an abrupt end halfway through the book.
DOMINIC The first story features Dominic and his relationship with Emma, the younger sister of Jane who wed Nicholas in the first book of the series. Emma is married to a Satyr named Marco who becomes injured while fighting in the war in Else World. Due to his injuries he is unable to help her birth their child during the Calling, so he calls upon his friend Dominic to assist them. Unknown to either of them, Dominic is a demon hunter known as a Demonhand and has plans of his own he has been tasked to pass on the Demonhand reign to Marco and Emmas unborn child.
At the beginning of this story I was not a fan of Dominic, but by the end I was very upset that it was over so quickly. The relationship between Dominic and Emma and how it evolved is very believable and I enjoyed how the previous characters are involved and brought back into things as well. I think the author wrote herself out of a second complete novel by shortening these two stories and combining them. I certainly could have read more about this couple.
VINCENT Vincent is the eldest child of Nicholas from the first book in the series. It takes place two years after Dominics story. Vincent is a bachelor who has become obsessed with a particular Shimmerskin he created to mate with during the Calling night. His desire for her to be human, turns into a reality that just might cost him his life.
I wasnt particularly a fan of Vincents MASSIVE penis and that it really became the whole premise of the story, but I did love getting to know the children of Nicholas and how things in their world are evolving. The characters were great but this story also felt too short. I would have loved to see more meat to it. (Excuse the pun!) The addition of Landon felt like it was an afterthought. I would have enjoyed seeing him more involved throughout.
Long story short I really enjoyed this book and the series as a whole. I am looking forward to reading the next book entitled, DANE, which actually begins a new trilogy in the Satyr family saga.

I gave this story a 2.5 because I liked the story-line. I was however disappointed by the amount of 'fluff' and repetitiveness that was used by the author to make the story long enough. It was also very heavy on the mush. We know the family and their friends are close, but I think this book and the previous one are a little on the over done side of that. I found myself skimming the last 3 chapters of the book just so that I could be done with it.

Helpful Score: 1
I really enjoyed this first book very much. I wouldn't say that the writing itself is phenomenal but it was an enjoyable story with entertaining characters. I literally read this book in a day, didn't want to put it down!
