Darkness
Returning to his village empty-handed from a hunt, Fane and the four hunters who accompanied him are greeted by silence. Something lurks in the darkness, watching them, waiting until they have found the bodies of their loved ones so it can kill them. In the ensuing battle Fane will be changed forever. He will become the last of his tribe; the first of his kind.
Sarah, a gentle-natured beauty, brought up by a heartless and cruel father, knows only fear and despair. She has learned to survive cruelty, live with fear, but the loneliness weighs heavily upon her... until she meets Fane, an enigmatic and darkly sensual man; the only man she has ever met who does not fear her father.
In his arms she will finally learn the truth of who she is, and discover the purpose for her existence; she is his salvation.

I tried really hard to like this book but it is so slow moving, wordy, waffling nonsense. I got to 40% and gave up. This is unusual for me as I like to give books the benefit of the doubt and get to the end. I just can't with this. I gave it two stars because I like the idea behind it. It had the potential to be good but sadly it isn't.

I got to 46% and was so bored I skipped to the epilogue.

What a fantastic read, never heard of some of the creatures in this book. Keeps you engaged from the first page to the last. Unable to put this down, a must read. Looking forward to the second book.
