BlackKat07: A great story, with very 'real' characters. There are a couple of inconsistencies in the plot, but only minor ones. All in all, it's a book I would pay to read.

Remnants of Night

LeyendoyAmar : The story pulls you through what she was (cold & heartless) to what she now strives to be (cherish others, value places, etc.). Not sure if the author will attempt in making a sequel (please do), but if book 2 does occur, I sincerely hope that none of the cherished characters will die.

Silent Flame Queen of Blood Book One

dragonlily3: I’m thoroughly enjoying this read. The plot I’d engaging and interesting. The plot stutters in a couple places where focus switches characters and I almost got lost. I’m hoping the threads will be woven back together near the end, tragic or otherwise.
