Synopsis (from Goodreads.com)

An immortal born from an unlikely alliance…

Beautiful mythic Greek heiress Adrasteia ‘Adri’ Dionysios has roamed the world for millennia, taking her pleasure where she wanted. Until one night, when Fate drops a baby wrapped in fire into her arms. Motherhood is a formidable challenge, but so is figuring out the identity of a mystery man who makes her pulse race.

A vampyre’s obsession…

Seraphine ‘Sera’ Dionysios’ origins are shrouded in mystery. Torn between a mother whose blood saved her life, and a man who now possesses her soul, the only thing Sera can still cling to is her heart.

One rule matters above all others: Always protect the portal…

When Evil comes to Adri and Sera’s hometown of Shadow Bridge, a place where the mortal human world ends and the supernatural realm starts, it’s up to them to stop a prophecy as old as time itself…or die trying

MY RATING: 5 STARS

NOTES: To be published on 10th May 2013

MY REVIEW:

I was lucky enough to be entrusted with an ARC of this beautiful book, and I have no problem giving it 5 full stars. The writing is great, the story is great, the characters are believable. They are real people/ immortal beings/ fae / vamypres / whatever-the-hell Des is, right? Shadow Bridge exists, right? Sure felt that way.

If book 2 doesn’t come out within 3 months, however, I’m knocking off 1 star out of spite for leaving me in the dark about Des and what happens to Sera. Ms. Owens and Ms. Monodee – YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Joking apart, although the ending left me panting for more, other readers might not be as forgiving. My take on the ending was that Book 2 would contain a lot of action, which suited me fine. Good things are worth waiting for after all!
