The Muse

review 1: Kalli is not your average college student. For her, time is a never ending loop. She lives to inspire mortals, to be their Muse. It is not simply something she should do but, something she must do. If she does not she will slip into madness. This book was the perfect blend of romance, love, action, and Greek mythology all mixed into one. The paranormal aspect was not overpowering but, a perfect complimentary piece to the story. I felt for Kalli throughout this story. She was completely ruled by her "gift". It was a curse at times. She never knew what it was like to live a normal life with a normal guy. She did like her artists and seeing them thrive but, it was such a delicate balance. She never truly gets to live for her. Then she meets Wilder and her whole world is turne... mored upside down. Can she have a normal life or is the risk to great?Wilder is a pretty awesome guy. Not Kalli's typical artist. He is a businessman with a family. He is also utterly gorgeous! So that always helps right?! He is drawn to Kalli from the first time they meet. He can't get her out of his head. There were times I wondered just how much Kalli's influence was effecting him. Don't get me wrong the romance between them is sizzling! I mean wow! Their love story is not an easy one however. Kalli has to always be vigilant to not over power Wilder. I felt bad for her. To constantly have to check yourself to make sure the man you are developing feelings for is safe has to be exhausting. When all she wanted was a chance at a normal life. Being Immortal isn't always as awesome as it may seem. She struggled with her secret a lot. Does she want to hide who she is forever? Can she handle the consequences of telling her secret?The mythology aspect was great in this book. There were times I forgot about it completely and thought they were a regular couple. It was always there floating int he background and it became more prevalent towards the end. Dare I say we are going to get some action from the Gods in the next book!!?? I hope so! Mythology has always been a passion of mine and this book sucked me in completely. I wouldn't say it necessarily ended on a cliffhanger. Maybe a little one. I am insanely curious to see where the story will go now. The Mythology really picked up at the end and I NEED to know what is going to happen with Wilder and Kalli. Their relationship is so fresh and now insanely complicated. I am anxiously awaiting the next book!!!
review 2: A contemporary NA romance with a difference....a paranormal edge has been added, now it isn't full on angels or gods or goddesses flying around fighting , it is just a 'normal' Immortal muse going about her daily business of inspiring the creative and trying not to let things get all crazy and out of control. If you can call that normal!I love the added extra we get from fantasy like this, it really does kick things up a notch, i find it lets the imagination fly, let loose and completely accept what the author is writing , real escapism.Kalli and Wilder had a very intense relationship it was edgy and a whirlwind, it takes them both over, they get under each others skin and the relationship is fully charged and HOT.I had a very easy time visualising the whole thing, which is always what I want in a book, Cora sprinkles in more and more elements of the supernatural world she is creating as the story unfolds until you get to a certain point where it is all so 'oh my goodness' and then...... What an ending. I am beside myself for the next book. less
