review 1: Actually only 3 & 1/2 stars. At first I was confused and questioned myself why I was still reading this book. I had read some of Stella Cameron's books before but never experienced this type on disconnect. The start of the story didn't make much sense at all to me even though I read various paranormal books, I was left with so many questions as to the type of world these people were actually living in. I thought there were huge blanks as to explaining why things were happening the way they were at the beginning!It was like going into something totally blind but still just going with the flow anyway. Really what real person after the death of a loved one, even 18 months later, would fall in Love immediately with a stranger especially once weird things start happening? Not j... moreust feeling lust but to truly trust another person at first glance that fast at face value and not question it? No one falls that fast, let alone doesn't completely freak out when finding out the things that go bump in the night are real, and the person you think you are isn't completely the truth anymore either!After the disjointed start but then finally getting some explanations, the plot and world started to become clearer. I was then pulled in and started to feel the strong connections between the various characters in the story. The diversity of the growing group and getting to slowly know their personalities made me start to really enjoy this book immensely for some odd reason! I could finally see the impact they may have with the continuation of the series and am definitely eager to start the next one, Darkness Bred!I'm hoping that having read this one I will be able to immediately immerse myself in the beginning of the new story!
review 2: Reviewed by MollyReposted by permission from Reviews by MollyReview originally posted at Romancing the BookStella Cameron has a new fan! I loved this book and everything in it. I’m, of course, becoming a SERIOUS paranormal lover….it’s coming close to taking over my love of mystery thrillers. Seriously, ya’ll. The more I read of vamps and weres, the more I fall in love with the sexy men and their awesome mates. Anyway, back to this. Stella Cameron has created a suspenseful, mind-blowing, captivating novel that will knock your socks off!Chimney Rock #1 is a fantastic start to an awesome new series. From the start, Ms. Cameron incorporates the suspense into the story with Niles Latimer and his friend Sean. Their werehounds, who want nothing more than to gain the trust of the human world and live among them in a peaceful manner. The thing is…there’s also the werewolves. Their not so keen on the idea of making peace with the humans, for they wish to turn the humans into wolves and create a werewolve pack that is bigger than ever. Wiping out the human race. Dominating the island.But, then Leah Kelly moves back home after the death of her husband, Chris. Niles knows she’s the human mate for him. Leah doesn’t know about Niles and Sean, and that the island she’s returned to is filled with weres, both hounds and wolves. Niles has to mate her to safe the werehound race, for there aren’t any female hounds left to reproduce.The wolves have other ideas on that. That’s were the suspense takes off like crazy and really makes the reader feel a part of the middle of the story. With twists and turns, ups, downs, ins and outs, like a fabulous romantic suspense novel should have, this story will leave you with a shocked feeling through out as the whirlwind ride intensifies. But, by the end of the novel, you’ll be so glad that you read this start to a fabulous new series!Most definitely recommended! A 5 Rose worthy novel that is filled with passion and suspense, and fabulous shifting characters, you’ll instantly become a fan. I know I did! I am already anxious for the second book in this series, Darkness Bred, Sean’s story. FANTABULOUS job, Ms. Cameron! I am a forever fan! less
