This book started out fine, but about halfway through it started bouncing around from plot to plot and got confusing. Then the concept of male rape and eating people was thrown in as well. Hard to follow who was the good guys and who were the bad. This was the first book I've read, and it does reference a past experience that was horrific. If so, everyone here is super forgiving. A touch of fairytale, a touch of vampire, a touch of psychic, all blend together. Not a bad book, but could have been better.

A big Thank you to NetGalley and Wild Rose Publishing for the ARC for my honest review. First time reading this author. I give this book a 3.5. I did not realize it was number 4 in a series. It just sounded different. And different it was. It was a quick read, seemed pretty short. Maybe if I had read the previous books it would have made more sense but the story seemed to be a stand alone. I would have like to have more background information on Lance-I found the prologue to be more confusing than helpful. The tone seemed different than most books-not sure how to explain it. I didn't hate it but didn't love it. I think that most lovers of psychic reads would enjoy it. It's a love at first sight fairy tale type book. Let me know what you think.

Full disclosure: I did not read any of the 3 previous books (nor did I realize they existed) before diving in to this book. While rated a 3 stars, it was probably closer to 2.5 using my rating scale. I had trouble finishing this one.

I originally picked this book up because I thought it sounded like something I’d be in to – a paranormally gifted girl ends up drawn to the vampire boy next door. The boy next door, however, has a whole heck of a lot of baggage with him. He’s not your typical love interest and has, in fact, been involved in the rape and murder of a few members of the girl next door’s family. Somehow, they are able to look beyond all this to find… romance? There’s an arranged wedding fast approaching, some scheming vampires lurking, and a family of psychics who can’t seem to keep their daughter away from a literal murderer.

The book itself reads almost like a historical romance, which may be why I had some issues getting through it all. I tend to prefer contemporary paranormal romance. That aside, I would have probably benefited from having some connection to the rest of Aurora Dawn’s family, who play key roles in this book. If you are interested in this tale, I would recommend you start from the beginning, and hope that you enjoy.

Very interesting book. I wasn't aware that this book is part of 3 more books.
