Wow.. All I can say right now is to me this is has got to be the most promising paranormal series I have read lately. It has everything you can want and a whole lot more. It will be torture for me waiting for the next book in this series.

Really liked this 2nd book in series. Like the way the author blends characters from the previous book. Kinda like the Dark Hunters by Sherrilyn kenyon. I read MARKED thru a freebie on my nook, so at first I considered Marked was ok, worth the request to get the 2nd book. I was really blown away on this 2nd book. Ms Naughton is definitely into this new series, also like the way she writes. Am waiting patiently for the 3rd book...Demetrius & Isabella....Recommend this book and series to all who read this genre.

I enjoy her writing and I believe that Ms Naughton has adjusted to the paranormal realm very well. Great beach read or mindless, fun paranormal romance. :) If you liked Marked, I think you will like this as well.
I've read the first, and now the second in the series. Although I am enjoying the series, it reminds me of "watered down" versions of other author's books, such as Jaquelyn Frank and Kresley Cole. Still a good read with interesting story lines. I'll continue with series as looking forward to the other characters' stories. I'd rate a 4 if I had not read other authors books, but since I have read other authors, it gets a 3.
This series just keeps getting better and better for me. I love the story as a whole, it is action packed with lots of characters. And Naughton writes with a great sense of humor. Zander and Callia have spent the last decade apart, and for all the wrong reasons. And because of the lies and manipulations of others, they have lost a lot. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so i will just say there are a lot of surprises in this one. And one whopper of a cliff-hanger at the end. Just like the first one, this was a one day read for me. I got swept up in the story and the action, and couldn't put the book down. This series reminds me alot of Kenyon's Dark Hunters. The Greek Mythology basis, the various Gods and Goddesses who pop in and out, and all the daemons who need slaughtering, plus the Misos colonies. There are a lot of similarities in the structure. Each book is about another Argonaut warrior, but really its about the strong women who save the warriors from themselves. I don't know how else to describe it, just give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised with the first one, and now I'm completely hooked with the second one. Already ordered the third one........

I am really loving this series and this book was a definite keeper. The storyline draws you in and you have to keep reading, you can't put it down. The love story is wonderful, but the book also has a good plot. I would recommend this to anyone who likes paranormal romance, although I strongly suggest reading the first book in the series (Marked) so that the story will flow for you better.
A wonderful beauty and the beast tale.
