Absolutely fantastic! Great plot, great villains, great friction between Frankie and Henri. This book is a read-in-one-sitting kind of adventure. After hearing that Susan Squires got stale after her first vampire novel, The Companion, I didn't read anymore of her stuff. But I'm glad I took a chance on this one last fall because I was mesmerized by this story. It was just so unlike anything I'd ever read before. And because it dealt with time travel and going back and merging with your younger self and becoming something different than you were in the past or are in the future, it could have been so confusing and just a wreck of a plot. I think under another's less capable hands the story would have fizzled quickly. Instead it was one of those romance stories that stay with you for a while. A definite occupant of the holy keeper shelf!
I almost stopped reading after the first 20 pages, as it was a big step down after reading Patricia Briggs. I pushed on through 100 pages thinking it would improve, but no luck. Premise was weakly-constructed and characters are one-sided. I've got much better books waiting for me...
