I
will start by saying that I did not read the first book of the series
called Nightshade (I received my copy to review the book) so I am
not able to compare the two books and probably certain subtleties in
the plot I did not completely grasp in all their depth and
significance. However it is perfectly readable as a stand alone.
I
was fascinated and intrigued by the intensity of the words used to
narrate what was happening, especially the love making part. It was
like sipping a rich, intense, full bouquet red wine, that at times
one just needs to stop, close one's eyes and remember to breath.
I
particularly cherished how magick was depicted, not as force conjured
and harnessed from the outside but as a power growing from the very
visceral insides of the characters, with a will and strength of its
own. Yet each character possessed a different kind of magick, one
sort of, for lack of better words, earth, animal like and the other
more air, intellectual, the combination of which I found delightful.
An
opulent bountiful magickal read! Enjoy!
