Jennifer Ashley is brilliant. No seriously! Let me explain why.
I used to love paranormal romance books. I read everything there was and I sucked up all the stories of love between creatures and love between creatures and humans (ok, that sounds really gross but you get my point right?).

Then I started to see a pattern-

1) There must be a hunky alpha male with some type of bad in him or in his past. Hes going to be dangerous, but so damn gorgeous, it does not matter how dangerous he is.

2) There must be a dumbass female who eventually gains wisdom and understanding via lifes trials and tribulations OR she has hunky alpha male (see #1) to save her dumb ass.

3) There is a misunderstanding. Usually, this misunderstanding is due to a lack of communication on the dumbass females part. She knows something, doesnt tell hunky alpha male and due to this misunderstanding (usually a secret) there is lots of unneeded danger.

Now, how is this book different?

SEE NUMBER 2!!!! Andrea is not a dumbass female. Shes actually quite witty, fun and pretty damn alpha in her personality.

SEE NUMBER 3!!!! Yes, Im happy to say that Andrea Gray tells Sean the truth. I saw where Jennifer Ashley could have gone with this book. The author could have kept one scene (I cant explain it it would be a spoiler) that Andrea was in a secret from Sean. Instead, Andrea tells Sean everything. I was like WTF, Andrea doesnt act like a stupid paranormal romance chick and keep the secret, she just goes ahead and tells him everything.

There was no major conflict between Andrea and Sean. In fact, the only problems they had between each other was that she was very headstrong. However, Sean actually admired her for that. Instead, the major conflict is the situation they are both in with the Shiftertown.

I loved that Jennifer Ashley didnt play it safe. Because of her risks, she makes this book so much more enjoyable!!!!
