Renowned for his playboy lifestyle and wisecrack remarks, Sid Sinclair knows he is the last pick for the lead investigator of human/half-breed trafficking. Never one to play by the rules, Sid takes his new position seriously, but not without driving the leader of the VC Council and fellow Warrior’s crazy.

A human with a special gift, Lana Fitzpatrick’s life is complicated. When Sid Sinclair charges into her life, her complicated life becomes torturous; his charm and wit draws her in like no other. Having dealt with alpha men most of her life, she is a match made in heaven for the VC Warrior who thinks he is God’s gift to women.

As the world of vampires and humans try to coexist, Sid and Lana’s lives intertwine. It doesn’t take long before the sparks between the two fly and for them to realize they have both finally met their match.

Sid is funny. But too much of a manwhore for me. The heroine making fun of his manwhore ways does not work for me either. It was a good story and helped the overall plot, but I just was not feeling it with the two of them. She was too standoffish/tough/closed off for me to really get into their story. And I was not able to take him seriously.

It was not bad, but not good either.

I received an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Damon, Jared, Duncan, finally Sid…or should I say, Sidilicious? Fans of Ms. Gabelman’s VC Warriors “Protector� series have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this funny, sexy, multitalented vampire. Sid is leading the investigation into the disappearance of young women when he meets the fiery petite human police investigator named Lana Fitzpatrick. Sparks fly between these two as they work together with the other warriors to try to locate Angelina and the other missing women.

In this book we again meet an old enemy, a jealous scheming blood donor, and a sexy Warrior fighting his attraction to a spunky half-breed. Ms. Gabelman continues to keep the reader involved in the lives of the other Warriors and their mates while weaving an exciting tale for the main characters in this fun, fast paced story. Lana & Sid’s romance is fraught with obstacles as they rush to find the man holding Lana’s sister ‘mentally� captive while also tracking leads to locate the missing women. The characters in this novel are realistic and the plot is well developed with enough twists and surprises to keep the reader rapidly turning the pages racing to find out “what next�. And the “what next� is a conclusion that will totally surprise the reader.

I enjoyed this book very much. I highly recommend it to all readers 18+ years old. I will definitely be reading more of this series as the books become available.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Alright if you read my reviews you know I like to ramble. I gotta start this review with a quick ramble. If you dont wanna read it then skip down to the next paragraph but if you do, then awesome and continue. OK Here goes my ramble....When I started reading I was a HUGE paranormal girl. I had 3 Vampire series that I would read and had on autobuy. Well one of the series fell apart which made me sad but the other 2 have stayed strong. SO I feel I am kinda critical of my first love: Vampire Paranormal. With that being said, I am over the moon excited by meeting the author of this series. It was at an indie author covention. We chatted briefly and I was stoked she sent me a book to review. I drank this series DOWN. I mean I am a HUGE, Gigantic fan of this series. Like I previously said, I am kinda critical of vampire series because the 2 I still read religiously are GOOD but this series is AMAZING!! I love the world, I love the characters. I just freaking LOVE IT!!!!

Ok so if you skipped the previous paragraph you are wanting to know about this book. If you read my ramble and gushing you REALLY wanna know about this book right??? So this is Sid's book. Sid the smartass. Sid the jackass. Sid the player!! Well Sid meets his match in a fiesty local cop named Lana. I have got to tell you I have loved each Warriors woman but Lana really got me from the go. I loved her spirit and she certainly gave Sidilious a hard time throughout the book. They have great chemistry and banter. I love character banter whether between love interests or just family dynamics. If you read this series you will appreciate how much laughing I did because Sid is a RIOT!! The one liners between him and Lana or him and the Warriors were spot on. My husband looked at me like I was nuts cracking up. He was like "your reading a vampire book and not a comedy?" I loved finally seeing the "private" side to Sid. His lack of family and the way Lana's family adopted him....priceless. When he tells her he loves her and you know he has NEVER has someone to call HIS, made me tear up....huge crocodile tears people.

The side story of Dr. Hottie Mc Hott Stuff AKA Slade and Jill....Holy heck. I am dying. I mean WOW!! I cannot wait for their book and I swear to all that is holy it better be next because I cannot take any more waiting!! I NEED THEIR STORY LIKE TOMORROW!!! OMG and Adam and his search for his girl....breaking my heart already!!!! I mean to have your girl "sold" into a trafficking organization......pit of my stomach for him.......

The villinas of this story. WOW! Teresa does a great job creating 'bad guys" or people you hate. OMG Alice I wanna kick her in the overies!! And a certain bad guy is revealed and I remeber saying "Shut the front door!! No WAY!!! " Also the bad guys and their hold over Lana....ugh stressed out!!! Like I said, she can creat some serioulsy bad bad guys!!!

Ok so I hope that my ramble and gushing over this series has made you wanna one click the book already!! Becuase if you like Vampire or even paranormal this is an amzing series for you!!!

I loved this book!

“You are mine, Lana.� Sid’s eyes were black with possessiveness. “I have never said that to anyone in my long life, but you are mine.�

Lana and Sid are both wise cracks and I love that they are so much alike. I love how Lana understands Sid so well. She’s the one person who can see that while he’s always joking around, he can be serious too and that she doesn’t care about his playboy past, knowing that everyone has one and that it doesn’t define a person. Their romance was so passionate and playful.

If she knew his real feelings for her, she’d probably run screaming. She was too young for his appetites, and what he wanted to do to her.

My favorite part of this series is the growing tension and attraction between Slade and Jill. I loved how jealous Slade got in this book when guys arrived as blood donors for her. Both try so hard to hide how they feel about each other, but it’s plain as day for everyone else that they are meant to be together! I really need their book!!!

“Why do I even keep you around?� Sloan growled, actually rolling his eyes.
“Because I lighten the place up.� Sid headed toward where Jill and Lana disappeared. “I put smiles on the faces of Warriors, and deep down in your secret place, you love me, boss.�

I love the humor in this series! The banter between all the warriors are hilarious, especially with Sid and his smart-ass remarks, and Steve who just blabs everything that comes into his head. There were a lot of things happening with the VC Warrior trainees, Adam acted pretty crazy in this book, not caring about anyone or anything but getting Angelina back and Jill came into her powers and it was fantastic. I loved the smack-down she had with Alice the whore. (I really hate her.)

The human trafficking ring seems to be growing larger and I’m really enjoying the suspense of the VC Warriors trying to put a stop to it and finding all the baddies involved.

With every book this series just gets better and better, and I’m freaking loving it. A must read for all PNR fans.

I had the privilege to be a beta-reader for Sid and read it as an advanced reading copy. I read Duncan, #3 in the series, and was hoping I’d get to beta read this one as well.

The characters are interesting and engaging. As the series progresses, you really get to know all of the VC Warriors and their significant others. The main characters in this book are Sid, and the woman he meets, Lana. They make a good pair and I enjoyed their story, but I really like the ongoing stories of all of the characters.

The writing is easy to read and flows well. Teresa Gabelman also has a great sense of humor.

When I think of vampires, I think of violence, blood, gore…not in this case. This book is full of love, lust, and humor.

If you like vampire romances, I highly recommend Sid.

I don't even know why I'm still reading this series. Well, actually, I do - it's because I've gone through all the better PNR out there and this is one of the only remaining series I haven't finished yet.

I personally don't really like Teresa Gabelman's romance writing style. The men she writes are all alpha a-holes who MUST drink the blood of female vampires (since human blood can't provide their nutritional needs) and it's usually a sexually erotic experience. This means they either have sex with those blood donwhores or at least get BJs. Which means the human women these men partner with have to put up with their man feeding from other women.

This is such an eye-rollingly unnecessary way to create drama between the heroes and their heroines. Either it was Gabelman's lame attempt at changing up the typical vampire romance story or it's just an easy way to fill pages with drama revolving around the jealousy about the female blood donwhores.

The whole book just reads like some horny 17 year old boy wrote it. Here's just one of the few lines that made my eyes roll hard, "His groan of pleasure urged her to sink his cock to the back of her throat. With no gag reflexes, she was blessed with the talent of giving great head.

Here's another fun quote "She felt her womb constrict at his declaration (of love)." Oh gawwddddd I can't take it!

The love between the two MCs just didn't feel real to me in the end,

Hurray 4 star untuk Sidilicious!!

Akhirnya phobia komitmen Sid Sinclair mendapatkan cobaan. Dia berhasil menemukan lawan yang setara, seorang gadis seksi yang tampaknya kebal pada semua pesonanya, Lana. Gadis ini adalah polisi yang mandiri dan punya kemampuan paranormal super. Dia juga nyaman dengan sisi seksualnya dan bukan tipe pemalu. Sid selalu menggoda iman sejak awal kemunculannya. Dengan tampang dan perawakan yang seksi memikat, gaya ngomong yang seenak jidat, sense of humor mematikan dan rasa posesif yang tak sehat terhadap area dapurnya, Sid sudah pasti menjadi karakter Warrior yang tak terlupakan.

Well, di sini kita bisa melihat bagaimana saat pria ini mendapatkan tanggung jawab besar dan memadukannya dengan aksi "memanfaatkan jabatan" untuk mendapatkan perhatian gadis incarannya. Buku Sid lebih dari yang kubayangkan. Karakter dan banternya masih konsisten, tapi dibalik joke sarkasme dan kelakuan narsisnya tersimpan kerapuhan baru, rasa malu !!! yang tak pernah kusangka akan di miliki seorang Sid wkwkwkwk..

Konfliknya utamanya juga lebih kompleks dan lebih terasa paranormnya. Buku ini juga lebih steamy dari buku-buku sebelumnya. Insta love dan timeline yang kurang jelas juga masih sama dengan buku-buku sebelumnya. Di sini Sid berbagi spotlight dengan pasangan Adam dan Angelina, juga yang kutunggu-tunggu Slade dan Jill.

My rating :
Star : 4/5
Bikini : 2.5/5

Favorite Lines “Is he always this touchy before kicking down a door when he doesn’t know what’s behind it?�

“It’s not that. I’m just not used to being a part of a family, Lana. I’ve never had one, so when I hear family, I don’t consider myself.�

“And I love you, my Sidilicious,� Lana said seriously before letting loose a snort. "No.� Sid shook his head. “Hell no. If you call me that again, I’ll spank that sweet ass.�


OMG she knocks it out of the park again! These VC warriors are AMAZING
I love this series! Every part of it sucks you in and doesn't let go until weeks later! I love it! Sid is one of my absolute favorites and to watch him fall was a fabulous ride!
My heart did crack a little for Adam but, he is going to be ok I hope.
These men oh my these men! Bravo to this FANTABULOUS AUTHOR

Overall Rating: 4.5 Rockin� ★★★★�

How do you incorporate a human female into the world of vampires? You give her a unique gift, an alpha job and pair her with a playboy vampire! This is the fourth book in Teresa Gabelman’s series the Protectors. The VC warriors have a difficult mission to protect humans and at the same time ensure the safety of their own people. Lana and Sid’s story continue that mission to keep both species safe.

Lana has a secret! It is both helpful and harmful at the same time. It is a gift that allows her to help save lives while she does her job. She is on a mission that is interrupted by a VC warrior. It's lust at first glance for Lana and Sid. Will Lana be able to look beyond the wisecracks and see the real Sid? Can she trust him with her special gift?

Sid is always into something and sometimes seems to be the bane of his VC brothers. When he is assigned the investigation of the human/hybrid problem, he decides it is time to be serious. Really, Sid, serious! He is following a lead when he stumbles onto what he thinks is a situation involving two women in trouble. The women are trying to find a lead on the human trafficking when they meet Sid and the sizzle begins. Will Sid be able to convince Lana to trust him and the VC warriors? Or will he lose her?

When the two start to work together, mysteries start to unravel and sexual tension explodes. Sid finds out that there is more to Lana than just the human female he wants. Lana unleashes her power and the warriors are not prepared for what happens.

Hero: Sid Sinclair 4.5 stars
Heroine: Lana Fitzpatrick 4.5 stars
Plot: 4.5 stars
Steam Level: 4.5 stars
Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes. Don’t judge a book by its cover is so appropriate for this story. The relationship that is built between Sid and Lana uncovers that some humans are more. Hot sex, sexy vampires and unexpected love…what’s not to love?

Would I recommend this author: Yes. Teresa Gabelman uses humor, love and mystery to tell her stories. I cannot wait to read more by this remarkable author.

I am in LOVE with The Protectors series. When I started this series, the book never cease to disappoint. So when I find out Sid has been released, this is a series where I set all my TBR books aside so I can crack this baby open! Teresa has made her way into the top of my list of favorite authors with GO TO NOW books anytime I see a release.

This book is about Sid. This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the series in it's entirety to get the full effect of the series and how the Protectors come together as not only warriors but as a family.

Sid is always the jokester/playboy of the VC Warriors group. Always one to give another a hard time, especially when they are mated with someone but Sid won't ever be "that" vampire. That is till he meets Lana...

Lana is an investigator, human, with a gift. Her gift? She reads dead people. With a skill that she has embraced, she's uses this gift to help others. She is tough, focused, dedicated, and will protect everyone she loves and brings into her "circle".

When Lana & Sid come together, these two can really mirror one another, both dishing it as well and they can take it and it's moments of laughter, suspense, sexual tension that lights up the pages of the book in flames.

We still get to follow the story of all the VC Warriors, how relationships continue to build, form, and some well not sure what it is but I'm hoping for something more. This story keeps you wanting more and panting for the next book. This book was gifted in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book from start to finish in just four hours. It was unputdownable.

Sid has always been the wisecracking warrior, giving his fellow warriors grief and mouth when under the thumb of their mates. So when officer Lana Fitzpatrick is assigned to the VC Warriors to help investigate the human trafficking, Sid's shocked by how attracted and impressed he is is by the fiery cop. And doesn't that just give the rest of the warriors reason to grin.

Lana has secrets of her own, and some are darker than others. She's not a pushover and can hold her own in a fight. Any other warrior would have a hard time with that, but it's just what Sid seems to need in a woman. And he's been through a lot of them, so he should know by now.

In the same way that I love JR Ward's Blackdagger Brotherhood, I am captivated by world of the VC Warriors created by Teresa Gabelman. Though each story has it's main characters, and focuses on the development of their relationship, it never lets go of the ones we've already met and fallen in love with. And as the plot develops though each book, you're never left feeling like you don't know what's going on. The stories are gritty, action packed, filled with charm, wit, plenty of male arrogance and just a hint of spice. It's the perfect paranormal romance series.

Who's story is next? I hope it's Slade. But how long to I have to wait?

Never one to play by the rules, Sid Sinclair loves driving everyone crazy but he may have finally met his match with Lana Fitzpatrick when she joins him in investigating the of human/half-breed trafficking in this edgy paranormal romance. The well written scenes and details paint vivid images that capture the imagination and the excitement draws the reader in and ensures that readers can’t put the book down until they have read every last detail. The author has added some very intriguing elements to her fascinating vampire world that spices things up even more and I have to say that while the subject of the investigation is disturbing and the culprits are truly evil, this thrilling tale may just be my favorite � well - so far because I sure can’t wait to read the next one.

To say that I'm a fan of Teresa Gabelman is putting it mildly - Sid is another amazing book in this series - Sid is in charge of finding the missing half-breed girls when he meets Lana. Sid has definitely met his match with her - they are a perfect match together. This book is full of laughs - moments where you will cry - moments where you will say "no freaken' way" because of a twist that Teresa's puts in the book. The chemistry between Sid and Lana is everything that you will want in a sexy vampire book. Teresa has definitely done it again - can't wait for the next book cause you know it is gonna be just as good as this one if not better. Thank you Teresa for another wonderful book - would definitely recommend this as a must read to everyone.

Sid Sinclair likes women, he likes running his mouth and making others uncomfortable, and he likes living his single life. When his newest assignment has him trying to find human/half breed trafficking he does not plan to meet his match.

Cop Lana Fitzpatrick knows Sid's type, he is all horny male, well vampire male. She also knows how to resist and put him in his place. When they tangle and Lana is assigned to him to work the case, everything goes awry. Lana has a special gift that has her talking to the dead and from the looks of it becoming the next one to be hunted.

I have been waiting for Sid's story since he was introduced. The man has no filters and I love it. One very very surprising twist and it looks like the path is set for more in the series, can't wait.

I didn't think Teresa could top Duncan, but then again I didn't think she could top Damon or Jared but boy was I wrong..
Sid was everything you want in a book... Humor,( I laughed out loud a few times) OMG! moments.Fantastic conclusions for some characters and awesome beginnings for others.
I loved how Sid finally met his match, Lana is a smartass, sexy cop who knows what she wants and doesn't mind kicking ass to get it..She was born to be Sid's.. their chemistry together is perfect. It seems she has tamed SidLicious! and he likes it!

This is a Fantastic book in a Fantastic series! I can't wait for the next book in the series Teresa ,Please don't make us wait long!

Loved, loved this book. This is the 4th book in The Protectors Series. Recommend to read in order. If you have read any of these books, you are missing out. This story is about Sid (aka Sidilious). But, you see characters from the previous books. Absolutely cannot wait for the next one. specially Slade and Jill's story. And Sloan.

There was a lot of heat and humour in the Sid and Lana story. She's definitely the kind of heroine to keep an Alpha male on his toes. It was great to see the continuing relationships between those VC Warriors already with their mates. The Jill and Slade subplot keeps sizzling. I definitely want to see their story soon. Overall, I loved this book.

Sid's book is one of the better ones in this series. Gableman really did a good job world building in this book & also building anticipation for books to come. I hope Slade is next, since we have seen him & Jill dancing around each other the last two books - I can wait to see how it all plays out, especially after the last scene of her feeding from him. That was hot!

“Well shit!� Jared stepped out of the way as soon as the last word was spoken; he knew the Slade train was making a stop on this dude’s face.

I am happy I read this one after having my meltdown about the previous book. I loved Sid and he was pretty much the only reason I continued to this book. I do have to say though Slade and Jill stole the show in this one for me. Jill started to believe that she was a badass and Slade started to come around from being a douche. But I will always have a special place in my heart for Sid.

This book had a lot of great moments from Sid and Lana. I liked Lana a lot more than I was expecting. She accepted that Sid had a past and dealt with it with no fuss. She loved him just as he was.

Beauty, body and brains, what more could a man ask for? Sid frowned, wondering where that thought came from.

“Ah, pretty much all of it.� Sid cocked his eyebrow at her. “Not only am I the cook, comedian, handsome, witty and charming Warrior, I also excel in eavesdropping.�

Nicole lifted her hand toward Damon for a high five. “I can’t breathe,� Nicole wheezed. She watched Sid as he opened doors to every cupboard in the kitchen before slamming them shut. “What in the hell are you looking for?� she asked with a hiccup and giggle. “My manhood,� Sid frowned, slamming another draw door closed. “Now, get the fuck out of my kitchen.�

“And I know tonight was hard on you. I don’t want to take advantage of you. I don’t want to use you like I’ve done others.� Sid tilted his head back, looking at the ceiling, wondering what pussy had possessed him, because the shit coming out of his mouth was not him.


The plot was good and I was never bored but the ending bothered me. Angel was sold and fell in love with the man who bought her. I can't decide if I will continue the series or not but it is definitely worth a second look so far.

Wow! This was another fantastic story in the world of the VC Warriors.

This time around we were focused on Sid aka. Sidilicious (yeah, that one had me in tears of laughter) resident Playboy and wisecracker. I liked that we got to know his character better in this, and start to see him as more than just the Cook with a smart mouth. I loved Lana's character and thought she was an interesting choice to be paired with Sid. I also liked that she was a Medium; I thought that adding in the element of her being a little other than human really added another dimension to this world. I also liked her personality, and feel that her character would be a good fit with the other women and yet at the same time she comes across as a bit more head strong and more defiant, for lack of a better word, than the other girls. I think that she has a very complex character and I look forward to seeing her develop over future books.

I do feel that the ending to this book, in terms of the relationship, wasn't as clear cut as some of the other books have been. I think that this may have been a good move to avoid things predictable. There is also the whole thing between Slade and Jill. I feel that their story is going to be full of fights and plenty of humorous insults, so I can't wait for that to play out.

I'm really loving this series and would completely recommend it.

Book 4 in series

Again picking up where the last book leaves off.

Adam is still a petulant ass wipe of a child stomping his feet when he doesn’t get his own way.
Jill is in deep with her feeling for slade escalating
Slides being a frosty ‘head fuck� and isntied up in knots about Jill
Damon is still sort of decapitating people
Duncan is still head over heals with pam and Duncan despite ‘kenny� the half breed kabon returning from the dead dead albeit an extra crispy vamp kabob
Slain says he needs a secretary???
Sid is still Sid ‘the joker, the chef, the stud� after meeting Lana on an operation he is questioning all this things about himself but upon being out in charge of the half breed/human woman trafficking has found himself in also in charge of lana... the girl who blew his cover... Lana Fitzpatrick is actually a cop who...’sees/speaks to dead people�... she also has a catatonic twin sister Caroline who has been trapped in her own mind for the past month by the evil general who has dark and nefarious plans for Lana.... oh and before I forget... the half breed recruits are actually growing..whatever they were objected with to turn them halfbreed has not only given Adam super touch/reading but Jill wicked telekinetic powers.

And again loads of stuffs going on.... and I loved it all

An okay vampire quick read.

I recommend this book for anyone who loves vampire paranormal romance and is in need of meeting a new group of vampire/mate stories. I gave this book three stars because although I’m intrigued with how the story and knowing more about the characters, the vampires are all the same. They all have the same personality but different names and hair colors. You don’t get a lot of their back stories either. On the other hand, I think the author does a really great job of developing strong female characters with compelling back stories. Oddly enough, I’m more intrigued with the mates� stories than the vampires. One thing that I really disliked about the book is the vampire mythology.


SPOILER ALERT


So, the vampires have to feed from another vampire to be at their full strength but full blooded vampires are dead and have no heartbeat. Maybe I’m spoiled by JR Wards idea of vampires being an entire other species, this makes being sustained by another vampires blood make sense. Traditional dead vampires feeding on humans makes sense as well. They get life from living human blood. But, I cannot make sense of the dead getting life from the dead or being able to withdraw blood that’s not circulating. I’m hoping the author will dive more into how this works in the Protectors� world.

There is testosterone aplenty with Adam losing his mind over Angelina's disappearance; Slade being forced to reveal his feelings for Jillian in front of the entire compound, humiliating them both and Sid falling for psychic to the dead, Lana Fitzpatrick while undercover to find exactly who's responsible for the human/half-breed trafficking ring.

When the VC shares information on the trafficking case with the police involvement, Jared learns Lana wasn't a bimbo on a bad date when she met Sid, she's an undercover police officer working the same case and he has Lana assigned to work with Sid until the case completes.

Dead bodies begin to appear and Lana's able to verify that the bodies can be linked to the trafficking ring, while Adam makes bad choices in his quest to find Angelina and finds a way into the crime but needs Jill's help which sends Slade's alpha instincts through the roof.

This medium paced read was extremely busy but didn't feel overfull and it's all hands on deck as they get close to discovering the villain. Sassy, strong Lana stood toe to toe with playful, sexy Sidilicous and their insta-attraction romance is one of the most fun of the series for my taste.

Well, the human traffickers keep upping their game. Their main target? Half breeds and humans. Their objective? To create a half breed army.

Sid is one of the warriors who is humorous most of the time, but just as deadly as his fellow warriors. He meets Lana, an undercover policewoman whose gift baffle him. Their interactions brings a smile to your face. Humour tinged with sarcasm! They start off on the wrong foot and as they get to know each other, the attraction becomes more apparent and as it is, they work well together. They are both hunting the same foe and surprise, surprise one of them is back from the dead. Kind of. This sparks more animosity and the battle is on. Will the warriors stop him for good this time?

I enjoyed this installment as it has an added twist to it. The brothers are as close as ever, in between friendly barbs and fights. The whole novel is fun and interesting. It sure held my interest.

Finally

Finally, in this book, there were some details during the erotic parts that actually kept my attention. The books get better as you go on but I’m still missing all the background for the characters. Also, I feel like the author is focusing too much on the side character’s relationships now, that you miss all the good parts by the time you get to the book of the couple. Interested to see what happens to Slade and Jill.

Also, side note, what’s up with all these dorky modern names? I kind of like it, in an odd way. I mean, Steve for a vampire’s name? Kenny, Bobby, Jeff? Come on. I will give her credit though, it’s a fun little detail that separates the books from every other vampire romance. You’re used to seeing names like Lucan and Micah that it gives these books their own little space in your heart.

Lana & Sid

Sid and Lana kept me laughing, snorting and giggling so much throughout their book. They really are perfect for each other. I seriously thought Sloan was going to have a coronary. Poor guy having to put up with all the warriors.
I took off a star because there were so many editing mistakes that it drove me crazy. Even huge mistakes like saying Lana had gotten out of the car... then in the next paragraph saying Sid went around opened the door and held out a hand to help Lana out of the car. REALLY!!! Come on, mistakes like that are extremely frustrating to the reader. There were so many in this book that I really should give it 2 stars. However, I enjoy the storyline and the creativity shown so I only took of one star.
