review 1: Posted on Romancing the Book's blogReviewed by MeliReview Copy Provided by NetgalleyThis is the first I have read from Caridad Pineiro and have to say I started on a good series. This is book 2 but can probably read as a standalone. The Dark Shadows and the Light Ones are at odds again. One side was to do good which is Victoria Johnson’s family and the Dark Shadows, Christopher Sombrosa’s family are unfortunately the bad one. Yet I loved that even though he is from the bad family Chris is trying very hard to be good and bring back the peace that there once was in their families.The one thing that Caridad Pineiro kind of got me disappointed was Maya in this book. Here is a woman who is so infatuated with Chris she doesn’t see the harm she is inflicting. Victoria and C... morehris warmed my heart for even though they know it is wrong to fall for one another they still strive to make it happen.All in all it was a good book and definitely a series that will keep up to date. The story I have to say was quick and passionate in a way that makes you constantly turning the pages. Loved it.
review 2: In The Claimed, the second book in her Sin Hunter’s series. Here, we meet Victoria the daughter of the Light Hunter Ocean Clan. Her parents had planned for her to be mated to Adam who was the next ruler for his Desert clan. Victoria is a Quinchu, a ruler, guarded by a cadre from her Clan. Her Captain is Raphael. They grew up together and she thinks of him as a brother, unfortunately, he doesn’t see her as a sister. He is jealous of her interest in their arch enemy, Christopher of the Shadow Clan. In addition, Victoria’s best friend, Sammie, is showing some odd attributes. Victoria knows her time has come to mate, but she wants more than a mate, she wants the whole enchilada, love trust and partnership and she thinks she has found that in Christopher, but can she dare trust a Shadow? Will the clans allow a joining of Light and Dark with so much hatred between? This is a classic Romeo and Juliet story. And that’s all I’m going to tell you.  Read the book. Honest. You won’t be sorry.Victoria has a lot on her plate. She has to forge new relationships with people she isn’t sure she trusts, finds traitors where she thought there were friends, defy her parents and everything she’s been taught, and more.The story has everything you could want in a love story and more. We have lovers, villains, treachery, pain, bloodshed and perhaps towards the end another love story in the making? It is definitely part of a series. Though I have not read the first one (yet!), there was enough back story for me to figure out exactly what was going on. The ending was mostly satisfying, but there were several major threads left dangling so that if you really want to know how everything ends up, you’ll have to continue to read (something I really dislike, but understand). Still, the story grabbed me, held on to me, and didn’t let go until the end. If you like paranormal romance with a touch of heat, definitely pick this series up.Thanks to NetGalley for providing this review copy for free. less
