At first glance, this may seem like just another teen paranormal romance book in the faerie sub-category. For that reason, it took me weeks after I checked out the book to actually read it. But I must confess...once I got started, I was hooked. The plot was extremely interesting, the twists on traditional faerie-lore quite well planned, and the romance was enjoyable.

I can see where people are coming from comparing Luke to Edward Cullen, but...well...I didn't like Twilight, and I DID like this book, so read into that what you will. Both men seem tormented, but Deirdre is a far more active and strong protagonist than Bella, and this in turn makes Luke a more appealing character.

My only complaint is the abruptness of the ending...not only story-wise, but page-wise. The last page literally ended at the very bottom of the paper, and the author's bio was on the flip side. I never realized that having one or two blank pages between the story's end and the author bio made such a difference, but it's like the screen going blank on a movie for a moment before the credits roll...it's a moment to pause and realize things are done. Without that pause, the book felt like it was just cut off in mid-sentence. I know this may seem picky, and really, I had no idea it would annoy me, but it did.
