Review
I like this novel for a number of reasons. One, because I am a huge fan of Armstrong, therefore without fail; I am never disappointed with her stories. Two, because it revolves around Hope and Karl, a couple with an awkward relationship, not perfect work workable. Three, because a few new characters are introduced and that usually means more books to come!
As usual, I gulped this novel down within days of buying it. The story is a good one and I enjoyed everything about it. Well, almost everything. Armstrong is usually pretty good with the sensuality level, the heat level, but this time it was a little boring. The intimate scenes were somewhat glossed over. I know that there are a few readers out there who have commented that they like this change but I didn’t. I find it difficult these days to enjoy a novel that doesn’t have some level of graphic intimacy. I search for it, I expect it. Maybe I’m reading too many paranormal romances or erotica, I don’t know but I’ve come to expect a certain level of heat from Armstrong that I just didn’t feel with this novel.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved the novel, as usual Armstrong creates some great tension and an intricate plot that kept me reading. I just hope this isn’t the first of a move on Armstrong’s part away from the romance, away from the erotica because if Clay and Elena don’t hit the same, detailed levels of passion as they have in the past, well, I’ll be really disappointed.
Summary
The men and women of the Otherworld – witches, werewolves, demons, vampires – live unseen among us. Only now a reckless killer has torn down the wall, trapping one very human woman in the supernatural crossfire.
Robyn moved to LA after her husband died to try to put some distance between herself and the life they had together. And the challenges of her job as the PR consultant to a Paris Hilton wannabe are pretty distracting. But then her celebutante is gunned down in a night club, and Robyn is suddenly the prime suspect. The two people most determined to clear her are her old friend, the half-demon tabloid reporter Hope Adams, and a homicide detective with an uncanny affinity for the dead.
Soon Robyn finds herself in the heart of a world she never even knew existed – and which she was safer knowing nothing about . . .
