review 1: 2.5 stars. Great concept, intriguing ideas for characters, but some writing quirks kept me from being able to get absorbed in the storyline. Many of the scene changes relied on characters blacking out in one way or another. And the emotional responses-- mostly laughter; even when the situation seemed too tense to call for amusement, the characters responded to each other by laughing. There was also little urgency to the story's pace, which felt odd considering that the beginning of the adventure was based on the disappearance of a "protected" sister. review 2: This book was fantastic. The read was very smooth and entertaining the whole way. Every chapter is a back and forth dance between Harlow and Roller Deb. I loved that Harlow was not your typical overyly go... morergeous male character and yet by the end I was oddly attracted to him and his tusks. Also Deb was neither a bad A or a push over. She seemed rough around the edges due to her living conditions and yet was bery vunerable at the same time. The whole book felt like a you were on a roller derby rink. The crowd flashing by in a haze of adrenaline and many bumps and bruises along the way. This is a fun must read for everyone out there that loves fantasy and paranormal books. less
