This is a great start to the trilogy. Although I love Emma's books I think this one would be just as good without the sex! I totally recommend it.

I am a big Emma Holly fan but this book left me feeling underwhelmed. The heroine, Estelle, is under developed and the little the reader does know about her is because we are told - not shown. It was hard for me to invest in the romance between her and the hero, Edmund Fitz Clare because there seemed so little at stake. I found myself much more interested in the secondary (slightly creepy) romance and, for the first time ever in a Holly book, I found myself skimming through the sex scenes so I could get back to the secondary couple's storyline. I did enjoy the setting of this novel - it takes place in 1930s London and was a nice change of pace from the more common historical settings one comes across. A word of warning about this book - it ends on a huge cliffhanger. Nothing is resolved and for me, it felt a bit abrupt and ultimately dissatisfying. If you are new to Emma Holly, I would not recommend starting with this book.

I read maybe...3 chapters into this book and got tired of it. It's just not my style, and was kind of boring. Which is unusual, because normally I love any type of paranormal themed book, but I just...couldn't get into this one.
Wonderful new series from Holly, I usually don't go for the early 1900s but Holly makes it work.
AWESOME!!! I loved the character of Edmund Fitz Clare. He is spectacular...a shapeshifter (wolf of course) and a vampire! My favorite paranormal elements. This is a rather sweet romance between Edmund and Estelle Berenger, a human with some paranormal abilities. Of course Edmund has enemies who try to kill Estelle and turn his foster children against him. So danger and angst rule this book. Emma Holly ends this with a gigantic cliffhanger and I am super glad that I have Breaking Midnight sitting on my bookshelf so I can get into the sequel as soon as possible.
This was my 1st Emma Holly book and I was hooked. Emma was thinking outsided of the box vs the normal parnormal books that I've read. Great Story.....left me wanting more.
I wanted to like this book, but it just didnt do it for me. Ive read that Emma Holly is a good writer so hopefully a different book will be better!
