review 1: typical Scarlet Hyacinth serial romance. nothing fantastic, nothing so bad it can't be finished. what is typical Scarlet Hyacinth? imagine a shorter harlequin romance but with no t&a (see, i was going to write no surprise pregnancies, but... yeah.). out of sheer laziness, i will be using this as my template for all serials by UNLESS motivated otherwise by markedly good/bad writing:Scarlet Hyacinthjoyee flynnsunny daylynn hagenstormy glenncarol lynnegabrielle evansi'd apologize, but i'm not sorry.
review 2: This is one of the emotionally most intense books of the series so far. It may have to do with the fact that it tells the story of the first shifter mating with a magical being, or it could be that I found the characters to be totally captivating. Most likely... more, it is a mix of both, and since I am always fascinated by cross-cultural and interspecies pairings, this tale offered a very rich ground for discovery of new and interesting details about this world.Morgan, the half-shark/half-seahorse shifter is definitely a fascinating mix between his strong shark heritage and the gentler seahorse side. I enjoyed getting to know him better (after having 'met' him in the last book). Even though I was yelling at him for not being more certain about his love for Alexis, I could see how the incubus's different background would be an obstacle. It isn't that Morgan doesn't try; there are some barriers between him and Alexis which stem from lack of understanding. Finding out what they are and overcoming them takes time. Thank God Morgan is as stubborn as he is patient!Alexis, the first incubus to venture out into the shifter world when he enrolls into the new shifter university (see the previous book), definitely hasn't got it easy. There are things he doesn't know about incubi, since he isn't fully mature when he leaves home, and there is a lot of prejudice (born of not-knowing) that he has to face in the shifter world. He does the best he can, ends up making lots of mistakes, but always manages to survive and learn. He is extremely tenacious, loyal to the point of self-sacrifice, and deserves a happy ending more than most. It was wonderful to see how the differences between these two slowly emerged, confused everyone, even antagonized a few people, before they were solved. This sort of process is very realistic, and even though the characters in this book are totally made-up and mythical, their problems and reactions are very human. Their paranormal status only makes these issues more visible. If you like cross-cultural and interspecies couples, if you enjoy learning about a slightly different paranormal world and if you like this series, you will probably like this book as much as I did. less
