This book was different from what I normally read but it was surprisingly good! I would pick up another book from this author.

Another awesome story by Ms. Durand. Good paranormal elements and solid writing makes this a winner.

3 1/2 stars
For me, this book was a better than average paranormal romance read overall. The story itself was mostly predictable (it did have a couple of twists, but mostly went the way the reader would anticipate), but that didn't detract too much from the enjoyment of the tale. The hero was a likeable alpha male protector type of character, which I typically find appealing (as long as he isn't overly dominant). The heroine in this story fell flat for me, which was the main reason for the rating I gave the story. She acted immature for her age throughout the book (at least she was consistent, I guess?), and was somehow still a virgin. I get that this is a paranormal story, so we are to suspend reality accordingly, but her as a 32 year old virgin was a little too much for me because there really didn't seem to be a good reason/explanation for that to be incorporated into the plot of this particular book. Overall, I liked the author's writing style, and the story held my attention.

3 1/2 Star Review.....

The Mortal Falls is the first book in Anna Durand’s Undercover Elementals and is packed with heart pounding action, steam up your glasses romance, and some impressive world building too. Ms Durand doesn’t go over the top with laying the foundation for the books to come, but rather focuses on the here and now, which I really apreciate.

I did find Lindsey a little immature at times, but based on her “cough” 32 year-old virgin status; what can you expect? Nevan is the Adonis hero of the story, who is protective, sometimes sweet and all things alpha male….need I say more? But probably my favourite character was Travis; and while even he had his moments of yo-yoing mannerisms, I still found him, and the story likeable. I’m interested to see where the author goes next and what characters will take front and centre in the stories to come.
