Plot Summary: This is a modern day m/f/m erotica menage story. The next book in this series, Inferno, comes out in 2010. (no m/m). The heroine comes into her powers as a priestess suddenly and is reunited with her "people" the were-folk living on the fringes of modern society. She immediately finds her two "fated mates" (who are twin brothers) and they all have to fight a nasty mage trying to kill off priestesses.

Main Characters: Rafe, Tim, and Allie. Rafe and Tim are good heroes. They are both alpha, but different enough from each other that there was no confusing them. They were caveman like in ways, but were "man" enough to let the heroine be strong. Allie was a good heroine... likable, brave, loving, strong, accepting.

Best About This Book: The characters fell in love VERY quickly and the relationship progressed very fast. This stretched plausability at times, but was a nice change from books were the h/h fight their attraction to each other long into the book. The "mythology" of the book: the were (shapeshifters), vampires, priestesses, mages, etc..) was well-done. Not too convoluted, but interesting enough to hold my attention. The sex was very hot. The author has a distinctive voice, which I liked. Secondary characters were few and interesting. I rather liked Dante. :-)

Worst About This Book: It dragged a little in places, and there were a few annoying plot contrivances (we need to get somewhere fast? no problem, Allie JUST happened to become stronger and can teleport us! That kind of thing). But really nothing stands out to me as terrible.

Summary: Definitely worth a credit. Hot erotica with a solid enough plot to be entertaining. I will read more of this author :-)
