review 1: Now this was a pleasant surprise. I picked this one up as a freebie on Amazon for what I expected would be a little light reading (who doesn't like a naughty cowboy?). I would normally rate this a 4, but I enjoyed the story enough to bump it up (a rarity for me, I' usually a hard ass when it comes to doling out stars). I was very impressed with the rich, detailed descriptions and story-building. From Ellora's Cave, I had expected more erotica and less story, but the story was very good. I'm not a fan of futuristic novels, but the whole wild west- meets apocalypse meets paranormal really works in this novel. An entertaining read. I'll be looking for a sequel!
review 2: I was stuck between the four and five star rating. It was a page-turner for me with enough act... moreion to keep me interested. I really enjoyed the characters and this has to be the most original story I have ever read. Which is what brought me to the five star rating. The one thing about this story that made the reading difficult for me were the names, most of which I could not understand let alone pronounce. I found myself replacing the names in my head so that I could read through but too often I got caught up trying to figure out some sort of pronunciation for them so I lost track of the story. And because of the incomprehensible names of all the Reapers, I couldn’t find myself relating to them as individuals because I couldn’t keep their names straight in my head. The only other issue I had with this story was with the ending. It was a long story with a lot of very different issues they dealt with, so I though that it really should have had a conclusion, allowing book two to start off with a different character and their own trials. Or at the very least, allow for one of the other Reaper’s stories to take over book two but while working off the conclusion of book one. For instance, another Reaper could find his mate while in Haines City helping Cynyr and Aingeal with their battle. Although, I have only read the synopsis for book two, so maybe that did turn out to be the situation. But that didn’t sound like the case in the description. Even with the above criticism I still managed to love the story. Go figure! It was the first I’ve been really excited about in a long time and had a difficult time putting it down. I would definitely recommend it. Just try to work out the names before you start. It will make the reading go smoother. less
