Review
An entertaining, frequently hilarious story chock-full of sexy, supernatural folk. Fans of Charlaine Harris and Laurell K. Hamilton should enjoy every bite. - Barbara Ann Wright, Author of�The Pyramid Waltz
From the Author
This book is for you.�You love Urban Fantasy and you've devoured the works of Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs, and the like. You adore snarky, geeky, quirky heroes with lots of heart and flaws as big their problems. You could read that kind of thing all day long. But you're tired of all the heroes always being straight. Maybe you're lesbian or gay, or maybe you're an ally who wants to see more representation. Maybe you just enjoy variety and find experiencing only one aspect of human sexuality somewhat limiting. Maybe you're just curious about other options. Whatever the reason, you want a book that focuses on being a strong Urban Fantasy story first, but with strong representation of other people than those most commonly depicted in popular media. You'd adore a good lesbian protagonist in a story that isn't all about being a lesbian. As I said, this book is for you. It was for me too. I hope you enjoy it.

funny, and is a straight-forward speaks your mind type ...
By Rebecca King
This is a story about a woman whose entire life changes on a chance encounter with an intruder where she works. Dakota’s world is opened up to new possibilities she’d never dreamed of. The world is far more interesting and dangerous with her introduction to the supernatural world around her. This story has a lot of potential, being the first in the series, there are many questions that go unanswered, things that aren’t delved into that will presumably be resolved as the series continues.
Initially, I felt a bit of a disconnect with Dakota’s character. In the first few chapters, she seemed a little immature for my liking, but that did change as she seemed to mature as the story progressed. That aside, she is quirky, funny, and is a straight-forward speaks your mind type which I enjoy. Dakota has great instincts about people and the confusion of those instincts with her mysterious love interest keeps you wondering how things will play out for her, which I’m hoping we learn more about as the series progresses.
As Dakota discovers more secrets about who she is and what she can, or at least should be able to do, the story truly opens up. We meet her new family and it seems like things really begin to click into place for her. One big secret of her past is revealed, but a threat to her present is as well. Things aren’t always so black and white and it is all the grey that makes you want to see how things work out for Dakota.
Keeping it Hot!:
There’s a nice mix of magic and varied supernatural species to keep you wondering what’s going to turn up next. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good werewolf book, but when you add in more, it just makes the reading that much more fun.
The side characters are a very likeable lot. They aren’t perfect, they wear their flaws, and they wear them well.
This book is building up to what looks to be a very promising storyline for the series.
The story is laced with humor. From Dakota’s grace to her geeking out moments, she’s sure to bring you a smile.
There are very suspenseful moments that keep you on your toes.
The story breaks away from cliches with characters like a vampire who is worried she could be seen as a monster.
The discussion of dyslexia and how to assist by use of certain fonts in a larger size also adds an educational bit to a sometimes misunderstood condition, which I appreciate as I have family with dyslexia.
The cover is very well done.
Cooling it Down:
There were a few minor editing details that didn’t take away from the story.
There one time Dakota addresses the reader in parentheses. I felt the story could do without that. I admit this is a pet peeve of mine, but mostly because these methods tend to be done in a way that doesn’t feel like a natural flow of the character’s thought process, distracts from the story, and can make the character seem immature.
While I loved the education of dyslexia was addressed, I felt it was an I can’t believe that’s happening moment when Dakota exaggerated the difficulty level of her dyslexia to guilt Nita, the secretary of the place she’s wanting employment, to fill out Dakota’s job application instead of just assisting her with reading the questions in the dyslexia-unfriendly font. Let me be clear, it wasn’t the asking for assistance, it was the way it was done that felt manipulative to me.
I felt the story could have used a little more details on some of the groups and beings. That being said, I do understand this is the first in the series and I'm sure we will get more to come.
Overall: Overall, I give this book a rating of 3 � cups. (Please note, the author provided a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review; however, since the book is on Kindle Unlimited, that is the copy I used for the review). While I felt there were things which took away from the story for me, mostly at the beginning, they won’t apply to everyone. The plot is right up my alley with the mixture of magic, supernatural beings, mystery, and suspense. If you enjoy those types of reads, you will enjoy this one.

Just Okay
By A. R.
This book was….okay. Just okay. While it was an interesting premise, it never really gripped me. I had a hard time enjoying the “nerd/geek” aspect of it (a large facet of Dakota’s character), not because I don’t enjoy or relate to it (I very much do), but because it felt many times as if I were being beaten over the head with it. As if Dakota was screaming at the reader with every reference, “GET IT- I AM A NEERRRDD!” Another part of Dakota’s characterization that was off for me was that, while it states early on that she’s 28 years old, there were times while reading I’d question whether Dakota was actually a teenager and I had simply imagined her being in her late twenties.
It was difficult to swallow the romance between Dakota and Amorie. None of it really felt earned. I couldn’t understand the supposed instantaneous chemistry between them. I can see the attraction from Dakota’s side at least, but why is this vampire interested in this nerdy, sometimes awkward young security guard beyond mere curiosity? What on earth is it that causes her to be instantly smitten? Maybe it’s just me, but I’m tired of the vampire/supernatural being-who-is-instantly-attracted-to-the-awkward-human-for-no-discernable-reason trope. It feels like shallow and lazy wish fulfillment. If anything the connection between Raelya and Dakota felt like a more organic foundation for a romance.
With regards to the plot, there never seemed to be any real conflict other than a few manufactured moments of tension/drama that were quickly resolved, and by the end of the book, it felt like nothing much had happened.
One other thing (that is completely nitpicky on my part I admit) that I couldn’t stand was the use of the phrase: “Green Burny Hands”. For some reason these were the only words that could be used to describe green flames erupting from Dakota’s hands. It was used so often and exclusively that reading it became like nails on a chalkboard and if I’d played a drinking game every time it was mentioned, I would have died of alcohol poisoning half way through.
Anyway. This just wasn’t my cup of tea, but I’m sure many will still find it an enjoyable read.

First in series
By E.P. McLean
Not a very good book. Needs editing at the beginning as it seems to have two versians of the initial scene. Not a bad idea with a museum night guard interrupting mage and getting hit with a spell. Unfortunately, nothing is done with that and the main character seems bipolar. At one moment emotionally sixteen and the next flat unemotional nothing bothers me adult. Is like being on a roller coaster. Not helped by lack of real drama. The werewolves and vampires are so nice. Not much happens. Book lacks focus and badly needs to decide what it wants to be. At this point it is mostly dull.
