Comments:
These two books make up a wonderfully intriguing duology. Writer Rachel Caine is better known for her popular urban fantasy series, the Weather Wardens. Her writing in these two books is just as strong, exciting and interesting. She is in my opinion definitely a rising star who will go far in her career.
The romance aspect of these books is a bit secondary to the interesting mystery-adventure paranormal plots. So the expectations may be different judging by the publisher (of these books), however they definitely won't be a disappointment.
