Review:

Elissa Daye is going to be on my auto buy author list and I have already purchased book one in this series. What a wonderful
story, with interesting characters, the story line had new things and was a perfect mix of shifters, ghosts and witches, I loved this hot number.
The mystery and background of Malinda and her Lena lineage is a great twist that added to the story. Since I hadn’t read the first book I had no idea Grant was a shifter, it was a nice surprise. This story moves very quickly, the fears seemed real and were written about in a way that you could understand why these two people were hesitant (afraid) of being together in a romantic relationship. The author didn’t focus on it, it wasn’t every other page about how scared they were, but you knew it was there, and watched as they changed.  They each continued to go through the motions of living together day by day and learning about each other. While having a very passionate, enjoyable relationship. A very hot read.
This book had a flavor of Maya Banks’s Highlander series with an added bonus of being a much steamier read and the paranormal aspects were engaging and kept me interested to figure out how the pieces all fit together. I highly recommend this book for adults, who enjoy historical romance with a twist of the paranormal. I would consider this tasteful erotica, character driven with an awesome story line.
