katikatMagnetic, fearless Fin Kahill has dedicated his life to ridding the world of its most vicious serial killers. Fin is used to roaming the earth freely - not getting stuck in sleepy Clare Point. But when the clan needs him close by, Fin agrees to take a summer job on the town's tiny police force. He expects little excitement - until he meets Elena, an ethereal Italian beauty. As Fin struggles against his feelings for Elena, the peace in Clare Point is shattered by the inexplicable murder of a tourist. The young man's throat has been cut, his body eerily posed. When the killer strikes again, Fin wonders if a member of his own clan is responsible. The only one he can turn to is Elena, but he knows that falling in love with a human can be a deadly mistake. Yet just as Fin edges closer to solving the murders, he discovers Elena may not be exactly who, or what, she appears...
Review: It surprised me just how much I enjoyed this book - no, not because the summary was lame or I heard bad stuff about it or something, paranormal het romances just aren't my thing, I prefer urban fantasies. I expected your normal, run of the mill paranormal romance, but it's more like a family saga of the Kahill sept of Clare Point. Sure, Fin and Elena are the main pairing here, but there're Mary and Victor, Kaleigh and Rob, Katy and Pete... And then there're Regan and his drug addiction, the murdered boys, the Rousseau vamps from New Orleans... And the ending - the ending really got me because I expected everything to be just fine and peachy, the way paranormal romances always end. But this one, this one was different.
(I'm also reading this series completely out of order. My boss received just the 3rd book for R&R'ing, but I'll definitely get my hands on the rest, that's for sure. Excellent book!)
