Picked this up for a side-project of mine that required some dubious romance writing as inspiration. It turned out to be more entertaining and less smutty that I'd expected -- not so good for the project, but great as a way to spend an afternoon! I wanted to smack the heroine quite a few times (how can a girl who claims she's all about the logic be so steadfastly airheaded?!), but the plot, politics, world and humour made it worth a read, and even worth a recommendation to a friend who'll be highly amused. ( )

absolutely love the whole series!!! ( )

I have liked her other books and I LOVED the hero and the heroine's sidekick in this book. Didn't much care for the heroine. She seemed a bit clueless to be believed. The end was a nice, sorta surprise so the plot wasn't so predictable that I wanted to throw it across a room. ( )

I don't know if it was me or the book, but somebody felt rushed. Now, I loves me my Katie Mac, so no fault there. Just saying.

The main character, Portia Harding, uses science as an excuse not to accept things that aren't normal and is quite argumentative. Actually she comes across as being quite like a lot of my scientist friends. She's not quite a sympathetic character and when she's given some magical powers and bumps into a quite hot vampire things are never going to be quite the same.

It's the kind of book that works if you put your brain in park but has serious issues if you start thinking about things. As a light story it's good but it's definitely one I won't be hunting up to add to my collection. ( )
