A fascinating, original fantasy world, and a compelling story. Refreshingly, there's no love at first sight here, but a gradual growing of trust and love between two persons from very different backgrounds (a vampire - or, sorry, lyche - lord and a Nightwalker - someone who sells his energy (chi) to...

What just happened here? I'm still blinking in confusion. I think this author who is new to me thinks in a different pattern than my brain follows. Throughout the story, I'm was constantly frustrated because I felt as if I was walking around blind. It's as if this was the second book where I com...

4.5 stars. This was such a unique story about vampires (they call themsevles "Lyches") who feed off of energy or chi. The story centers around twins Black and Jhez (or "Red" as she is nicknamed), who are half Lyche on their father's side. Their father turned their back on them, their mother died,...

The writing was okay and I liked the characters but I felt the worldbuilding was incomplete. I could not get a good sense of all the lyche politics or how the society functioned. Also, there was a big chunk of nothing-happens-now in the middle that was quite a hurdle for me to get through. The en...

So marvelous... so... perfect???yes, I know it seems a little exaggerated but let me tell you not always what we think is a cliché will be a cliché!When I got this book I saw friends saying it was a very well written story (BTW, check the publish...
