Humour
Dark and funny
Found this book as a fluke and I've loved the series ever since, yes some of the themes can be quite dark but the characters are fantastic and really got involved with them, they also lighten the tone a little from really dark bits. Doesn't always paint a great picture of Scottish people but I enjoy reading it and laughing at parts which are actually how people are in real life

I'm someone who prefers vampires to werewolves so I got really into this book. I think it can be put down to the build up of the relationship between between kane and caitlin. The crazy sexual tension that kept building...jeez!

Admittedly the lack of trust and the thinking one wanted to kill the other got a little annoying by the end but I'm glad they got a happy ending.

I wouldn't mind continuing the series.

Coming into a series three books in was not a good idea, I had no background info about her brother or her lovers or the guardians. I was just suddenly knee deep in a story that I was enjoying up until about the 150 page mark when she was suddenly having sex with almost everyone and I felt like I'd missed something (which since it's the third book, I obviously had). Therefore i'm giving it three stars.

Still in love with this series. It's completely different to anything else I've read, which is probably why I like it so much.

It's getting 5 stars for the romantic aspects of the story. Think it would only have been 4 stars if the romance hadn't gone up a level. I think they are a really nice couple and some of the scenes between them in this were almost heart-breaking.

Can't wait for book 6!

First book of a great series
I listened to this on Audible, and really enjoyed it (so much so I'll be buying the hard copy). Fae, magic, humans, adventure, romance and spiciness... A great combination! The narration on Audible is good, and I got sucked into the story very quickly. Highly recommended for anyone into fae and fairy stuff, fantasy, and magic etc.

Early entry in Terry pratchett's Discworld series (I think it's book #9, and the 4th to have Rincewind); a parody of the tale of Faust.

Not Pratchett's best work: it fails to reach the heights he would later achieve in the middle segment of his career (around the time of Lords and Ladies, Maskerade or Soul Music), but having said that a sub-par Pratchett is still better than many other authors operating at their peek!
