Suspenseful and amazing
Tarryn really knows how to keep the readers guessing. With each page your mind plays tricks on you. She is a great writer but writes about some deep things. Caution if you are not into reading about rape or molestation or killing. She writes about all of this. But with such taste that it keeps you reading. If you have never read one of her books, I suggest you start.

Admittedly fantasy books aren't my favourite (neither are books over 400pgs) and this took me a little time to get into. It was probably about the time Declan was properly introduced that my interest was piqued. At the same time though, I was still struggling with the story. I'd say it was from about a third of the way in when it started to grow on me, as did Declan.

It had an interesting concept with the two linked worlds--one fantasy-esque with nobles and the likes and the other a lot like the world now--with a thin strip known as The Edge linking them together.

I didn't always understand what was happening, especially at the beginning, but it was explained in more detail the more I read of the book.

This is my second book by the author and I think I might read more of her Kate Daniels series since I prefer more paranormal romance/urban fantasy books than just normal fantasy.

This is the second book I've read by the author, the other being [b:Just the Sexiest Man Alive|3863861|Just the Sexiest Man Alive|Julie James|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342552584s/3863861.jpg|3909033] which I really liked. This one I wasn't so keen on.

I don't know if it was the storyline--enemy workmates falling in love--or how long it took them to realise that they were, but it seemed to drag a lot. The last 15%, even though they'd finally got around to doing the deed and all, I couldn't really muster up the want to read it. I must admit though that that was the best bit.

It hasn't put me off wanting to read other books by the author, though, and I will be reading [b:Something About You|6642402|Something About You (FBI/US Attorney, #1)|Julie James|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327933063s/6642402.jpg|6836876] quite soon.

This book was completely engaging, it was well written by Skip Hollandsworth. It makes me wish more books were written about this time period. I found myself wanted to go and check out all of the sites, most of which are now parking garages.

What I love must about audio books is that I can listen to them as I am cooking, and doing my work around the house and in the car. I dont watch much television, and listening to a good book while just doing your day to day activities is great.

"I love all his books. I often talk about him and Jane Austen in the same breath. I think people are slightly mystified by that because superficially they’re such different writers. But they both have a very unsentimental approach to human nature. They can be profoundly moving without ever becoming mawkish."
