review 1: I received a free copy of this book. First off, I want to say that I read my share of vampire novels and while I like some of them a lot others just don't do it for me. They tend to be kind of repetitive and I was looking for some new ideas when I started reading this book. A Kiss of Ashen Twilight is the story of a vampire, Jace, and a fairy, Ariya. They meet after Ariya is attacked in her home realm by an Elemental and she needs to escape to the human world. I had my troubles to get into the book because the first few pages where highly confusing for me. However, this problem was eventually solved when the whole two realm theory was explained. I really like the idea of having fairies thrown into a story with the usual supernatural suspects like vampires and shapeshifters... more. I really liked the first half of the book because the story was fast-paced and interesting to read. The historical retrospects were great and I had a good time reading this book.However, after the first half the book kind of lost me. I wasn't able to follow the decisions the main characters made. Especially when Ariya instantly decided that she found a new home in the Ashen Twilight house. I also wasn't able to understand the romance. It was nice but somewhat too rushed for me. In the end, this book was a nice and fast-paced read. It definitely offered some new ideas for the vampire topic and I hope the series will further explore them.
review 2: I was able to get into it and it was good, but it didn't really start getting super, super, good until Jace and Ariya got together physically. There was a lot of chemistry between the two, but Jace was reluctant to be with her because of his little problem with killing the women he feeds from. For some reason, when he feeds, he kills the person, not on purpose, it just happens. He doesn't want that to happen to Ariya. It doesn't because she's fairy. There was a lot of going back into the past which I liked but I was eager to get back to present day, and any scenes with Jace and Ariya.I did like the different houses between the vamps, lycans, and shifter elves. And Ariya had wings! Usually that would make it seem hokey but I liked it. It worked for the book and character. In this book, the paranormal world is a secret, although a little of it was let out. Usually when I'm reading PR/UF, I like the paranormal aspect to be known but I didn't mind it hidden in this book.I'm looking forward to the 2nd book, but from reading the excerpt not sure if it will all be about Jace and Ariya. I hope so! less
