I was pretty leery about this book compared to Jacob, Gideon, and Elijah....the prologue seemed more like cliched vampires than likes books 1-3. i was immediately put off by it. the vampires are so different from the demons and lycanthropes that it initially didn't appeal to. the characters were harder to trust...maybe that makes some "tension" but i didn't like it much. eventually the book became more like 1-3, and so it won me back over. i was disappointed that Damien and Syreena didn't have the same imprinted characteristics as the other couples do. but i am glad that the main storyline is still continuing and i am looking forward to reading Noah, which, i think is the last in the series. i'm anxious to find out what happens to ruth. Syreena is an interesting character. I really think it is ingenious how the author works in the explanations of mermaids, vampire transformations, etc. And I like that she introduces the main characters for the later books in the earlier books. It gives the series a cohesive feel. Romance scenes...like Gideon, the book is not filled with them, but what was there was definitely good. So, while I didn't like this book as much as Elijah and Jacob, I did find it entertaining overall, and still gave it 4.5 stars. Enjoy!
