Wow. I loved this book. As I told my sister, at the beginning I was totally lost but the characters were so enthralling that I couldn't stop reading. I might have been a bit lost because I didn't start with the first one but I figured stuff out. I just stuck with the story and everything was explained down to the most minute questions which were left hanging at the beginning of the book. Except for the continuing story arc of course but that is going to play out over several books obviously.

I absolutely loved the main character. She was kind of a roll with the punches kind of girl. I loved the twist at the end which I guessed pretty early on but then I had the fun of watching it all play out. I loved the French chef Dansant and the show more surly mechanic Sean. Two really great characters and the love story was very well done.

The paranormal stuff seems fairly well thought out and interesting. Can't wait for the next one and I'm going to get the first one to read as soon as possible. I read a lot of books for free but this one I'm definitely going to get my own copy of.

I'm giddy with pleasure at this book. But then I finished it at 2:30 in the morning having read it at one sitting so that may factor in. :-)

Dreamveil was a quick and exciting read for me. Lynn Viehl has wowed me again with her ability to mix science, known myths, mystery and complex characters into a fascinating story. I love how she moves between the characters, telling the story from their different point of views. This gives the story an overall satisfying feeling for me, being able to be inside the heads of the main players of the story.

She brought Rowan alive for me on these pages, into a person I could relate with on all levels. The romance that she inspires between Rowan and her new love interest was very suspenseful but there were times that I didn't quite feel the connection between them. The secondary characters were all interesting and made me want to know more show more about them. Especially, the enigmatic and oh, so sexy Taske. But I'm happy overall with how everything worked out for everyone in the end.

The Kyndred is one series that's on my auto-buy list!

Again - lots of action, great female lead and really intriguing male protagonist. Had a lot of fun with this one but the food descriptions did make me hungry!
I enjoyed Viehl's Darkyn series, but think she has gotten very creative with her Kyndred series. She has such wonderful characters and an amazing story. I wish she would do another book with the same main characters so I can see how their unique romance develops. I highly recommend both series for pnr fans.
At first the story kind of dragged for me then I started getting into & by the end I like the twists it had good for Rowan she finally got a happy ending...
