review 1: True story: I didn't know jack squat about Joss Ware's "Envy Chronicles" story arc when I picked up Night Resurrected. The good news is that I didn't have any problem following along with what was happening. Score! The bad news, and it's not really that bad, is that there was definitely a bit of back story/interaction that had occurred between our two protagonists that may have deepened my investment into these characters.Wyatt once had everything: a beautiful loving wife, two kids and an ideal life. Until they were ripped away from him in a bizarre twist of time travel/fantasy weirdness. He's carried the burden of their loss for a long time, now, and he's armored himself against the harsh world with a cool, indestructible facade.Remy has something that everyone wants - a ... moremysterious crystal bestowed to her by her renowned father. She is desperate to protect it, despite not having any idea what it does or why everyone wants it. And everyone DOES want it, enough so to kill her for it. When she has a run in with Wyatt and he realizes she has it, he attaches himself to her side as a self-proclaimed body guard so she can get where she needs to go. What neither of them count on is falling for each other (GASP!)When I picked up Night Resurrected I was looking for a contemporary action something-or-other that offered a little something different. Despite the cliche and predictable plot lines I very much enjoyed Ms. Ware's most recent Envy addition. It was a bit of Walking Dead with a sci-fi/fantasy twist, and I totally dug that. It fell in to my read-it-and-drop-it category, a book that I enjoyed but doubt I will read again.
review 2: I'm so tempted to mark this as a 5 star,.... but that would be more for the series as a whole then this specific book. But this book alone did earn a 4 star from me! I Love Ware's world building... and character development. I had major reservations about this series when I first got it and have been pleasantly suprised ever since the first book. I can't wait for the next book and I am desperately hopeing it's Ian's book. The only downer I had with this one is similar to that of others in the series, and that is that the ending felt Short... Not really rushed... just cut short... like Wyatt and Remi deserved another chapter or 2 to work out their biz. But Great story and I didn't even mind that there wasn't many steami hots! Good job over all! less

I had a harder time getting into this one. It seemed a little slow going.
