This was exceptional! I am a huge fan of almost anything paranormal...so that was on the table from the beginning. Add two hot guys and a budding romance and you have me. I fell in love with Hiro immediately and could not wait for him to melt grumpy Maddox. It doesn't take too long for Maddox to start to thaw as they embark on working together to solve a murder. This book had everything! It was funny, with that sharp and snappy banter that Alice Winters just seems to excel at. There was plenty of action, romance, and suspense, to keep you completely engaged and guessing until the very end. I just loved everything about it from start to finish and I am anxious to get book 2. ( )
