review 1: I wish zero stars was an option...I never finished reading this book for several reasons:First and foremost, the start was a jumbled mess that seemed as if portions had been removed in order to make the book shorter.Second, the book starts with a rape of the heroine by the hero. Not a 'forced seduction' but an outright blatant rape scene. Not my idea of a 'heroic act' regardless of the justification given.A friend of mine who picked it up off my coffee table and glanced at it was also appalled by the jumbled start and the rape scene. Neither of us had any desire to finish it.I do not recommend this book, unless you like books that seem disjointed at the start and feature the rape of the heroine.Note: I bought this book because I'd been interested in submitting erotic roman... moreces to Silhouette Nocturne. After reading the start I'm not so sure I'd be a good fit with this publisher. Rape is not cool.
review 2: I must admit, this was probably my favorite of all the books in this series. As before, I appreciated the elements of suspense and horror, but enjoyed the focus on the growing love between Izzy and Jean Marc. Especially watching Jean Marc surrendor to his love for Izzy and saving her from a horrible fate. I must also mention the ending was right up my alley! If I can ever find them, I would be interested in reading Daughter of the Shadows and Son of the Sea. Of the three books, I would recommend this one to readers, but caution that reading the previous books gave me a better understandig and appreciation of the story. less
