I had an interesting reaction to this one in that I read it really quickly and read the second as soon as I could. And yet, I struggle with how much of Maria’s life, from start to finish, revolves around Dante and how little I could understand what she got from that relationship. I do know & believe...
Most powerful storytelling One of the most powerful books I've read. I love this author and like all of her books, but this one was simply outstanding. Here is my review of it: http://olgagodim.booklikes.com/post/647790/post
Rating: 2.5 out of 5.Before this novel, I had read one of Sharon Shinn's angel books, and I liked it a lot. So I was going through my to read list, and I saw that I had this book marked ages ago. Eager, I got started on the book, with high expectations.I was disappointed. We find out that the charac...
Stalled out in the middle of this (combination of too much O/T at work and brainless-yet-addicting games on the Ipad.)Overall, a nice read, and I really didn't see the ending coming. Have the sequel on my shelf at home, will be starting it next.
Some how this fantastical story manages to be wholly absorbing. An immediate, sharp edged love story that feels as dangerous and real as any true-crime thriller.
A bittersweet and intriguing love story that reminded me of The Time-Traveler's Wife. Dante is a shape-shifter who's had a relationship with Maria since they were in college. He can't control when he changes into an animal and the periods as a human are getting shorter, so they make of their love wh...
Theme song of this book:2 stars is what feels right for a book that kept me engaged to the end, but that I wound up kind of hating. It's a story about obsessive, unreasoning love, and though I actually enjoyed Twilight, I find it much less palatable as a concept when stretched out for 15 years. Ther...
This is a love story: quiet, poignant, and heart-wrenching in its intensity. No tropes of fantasy wormed their way into this book, and the only nod to the genre is the nature of the protagonist, Dante. He is a shape-shifter, but unlike werewolves of a galore of other, more conventional shape-shiftin...
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsI was reminded a great deal of Maggie Stiefvater's The Wolves of Mercy Falls' series while reading this book; albeit a more adult version. The nature of Shinn's shifters is different in that they can change into multiple animals but the story has the same ticking time bomb fe...
Originally posted at Romance Around the CornerIf you’re a fan of Paranormal Romance you probably recognize Ms. Shinn’s name. She’s the author of the Samaria books, a popular series that’s quite well-known even among readers like me, who aren’t die-hard fans of the genre. Last year I finally managed ...
