"Lily King has a brand-new book just published, and it’s probably wonderful, and I’ll read it soon. But Euphoria is the one I’ll always go back to. This re-imagining of Margaret Mead in the midst of a jungle and a love triangle, both steamy, is almost Joseph Conrad-like in its explorations of the human heart and brain. Maybe not relaxing-in-the-hammock reading, unless the hammock is caught up in poisonous vines with a snake or two curling in wait, but this book does in fact grab and hold on to the reader."

This started off quite good, then the love triangle aspect was introduced and I loved Grant, he was a hot geek, while Christian came across as some sort of loser boyfriend who occasionally had a nicer, softer, side.

Then it progressed some in the triangledom of relationships and I got a little giddy... And then it all started to go downhill for me from after the sex.

The storyline just got a little too ridiculous for me, and I started skipping pages, just skimming others...

Therefore I'm afraid it's getting a two star. Not for me at all, sorry.

For the first half of this, I was really into it. I liked the love triangle aspect and I understood it. I couldn't figure out how Dana fit into it though, I just assumed she was some crazy ex-girlfriend stalker person - I was very wrong

I have to say I liked both Paul and Stewart, though for different reasons. Paul is very laid back while Stewart is very intense, but both are great guys.

It all seemed to fall apart for me after the half way point. I loved the revelation that occurred, I just cant say I understood what happened afterwards. I expected more of a fight and there wasn't one, which disappointed me a bit.

They both claim to love her so why give her up so easily?
I didn't get it.

Its been many years since I read the Shifters series and I've forgotten a lot of characters and the stuff that happened. I only really remember Faythe, Marc and Jace and the love triangle thing they had going on--and that I was very much Team Mace.

So for this to be Jace's story I was looking forward to reading his HAE. However, I was a little disappointed with the story. It didn't pull me in and make me desperate to know more about Jace and Abby and their relationship. And the love declarations seemed to come a little out of the blue, whether they'd been lusting after each other for years or not. Oh, I don't know. It just didn't work for me but it did make me cry a little at the end.

A decent read

Scout Donovan is a girl who believes in rules, logic, and her lifelong love of Charlie Hagan. Alex Cole believes in destiny, magic, and Scout. When Alex introduces Scout to the world of Shifters, men who change into wolves or coyotes during the full moon and Seers, women who can see your most private thoughts and emotions with a mere touch, the knowledge changes everything and everyone Scout thought she knew.

<strong>A decent read</strong>

This was Twilight without the vampires only better written. Don't get me wrong I like the twilight books but this just had the edge. It felt a little but rushed in places but for a first in the series it definitely made me want to continue reading.

Love triangle that ends in tragedy!
