review 1: "With a historical setting, the first installment in this shifter series by Alexa Egan was absolutely fascinating! I love that there are not only shifters, but fey as well. I love that she has painted a brilliant world with an unforgettable cast of characters. I love the intense suspense and the beautiful romance. I love the extremely steamy and sexy scenes between our hero and heroine. Bianca and Mac are the two main characters in the story. Bianca is strong, confident and determined. Mac is funny, sexy (he’s a panther… hello!), protective and sweet. Their romance is red hot and has just enough drama to keep you hoping they find their HEA. Some of the secondary characters in the book are wonderful, and I sincerely hope that they find their way into future book... mores with their own journeys to happiness. Paranormal fans out there do yourselves a huge favor and pick this up. I promise, you will not be disappointed!Reviewed by Marie for Cocktails and Books
review 2: This was an interesting mix of genres in a book. To me, it was mostly a historical romance and a PNR with a dash of fantasy for flavor. It held all three of these genres and it blended it nicely. I would however, disagree with part of the book's blurb. It isn't a fast paced book, but rather slow paced as some historical romances tend to be with some fast paced action on occasion.In this story 4 shapeshifters of the clans of Imnada all go to help the war effort and defeat Napoleon. As they are gathering information, they find themselves exposed for what they are and they are bound by their clan law to eliminate any threat. When the threat comes from a fay-blood they become cursed and must endure the shift to their animal nature every night. This makes them anathema to the clans and they are banished. All are looking to eliminate the curse while a member of the fay-blood is looking for revenge. One was murdered and this is what brought them back together after their cursed night and expulsion from the clans.The love interest is between Bianca, the friend of the murdered man Adam, and Mac, a clansman to Adam. Mac falls for her not because of her beauty nor popularity, but because of her strength of character. Of course this is not easy for either of them as Bianca has PTSD from a previous marriage and Mac is suspicious of everyone not in the clan. Can you say frustrating romance with periods of aw? :)I have to admit that I was not always thrilled with Mac. I really loved the fact that he cared enough for Bianca to help her through her PTSD, but found him infuriating when he would trigger her problem because he couldn't decide what he wanted. He knew he triggered her problem and yet he didn't. Yes, I wanted to kick that shifter in his hind end. :P However, this became a nice contrast for Bianca and I found her to be someone who had great strength within. I know many of you love this kind of frustrating tension, but I sometimes think enough is enough. But that is just me. :)I give this mix of genre book 3 stars. I really do think that this series will take off now that this world is established and I'm curious as to what happens next. It's not a cliffie, but not everything is solved and I want to know how they solve it. I recommend this book to those that love historical romance and want something a bit different. less
