Customer Review

The beautiful cover illustration made by Miesis quune only gave one desire, that to open this novel. A happy discovery, although javoue have struggled to get into the story. In Chapter 9, a click sest done and i could finally enjoy the narrative proposed by J. Arden.

In this novel, we follow Anya, a hybrid, vampire by his mother, werewolf by his father. Its specificity does not allow him to enjoy a very quiet childhood. Nappartenant nor Mon nor the other clans, the heroine is forced to build one. High among vampires, all skids lorsquun full moon his animal side takes over and forces her to mutate into full vampire ball. Driven from his clan by his own mother, Queen Reus, Anya will have to go to meet his father, the alpha of the pack of San Francisco. If sest always imagined a cold and despicable man, the discovery of this new family, including his brother, will undermine its valuable shell. Of course, his daily is far from easy. Between her waitressing job, his meeting with the beautiful vampire Aidan and hormones that saffolent in the presence of Kyle, one of the wolves of the pack from his father living under the same roof which, Anya will have to adapt quickly and shatter all what it believed until then.

The story is very interesting, it gives us all the ingredients lon expected of the genre: the hunks to die, a heroine with dune strong personality and many features (it accumulates really!), Vampires, werewolves and the famous love triangle (which happens perhaps a little too quickly for my taste).
The narration is very dense, concealing a lot of information, allowing the story to not fall into the facility. The characters all have a true identity, the not always very pink and above all, there are still many mysteries haloed The preparation of a Volume 2 is felt! And then the werewolf family is extremely endearing. The heroine of conflict with his father appears in a very real way. Usual, I'm not a fan of werewolves, but javoue have been affected by those;)
The author adds a personal touch to this classic fantasy novel durban adding a part of mythology. Include gods long since disappeared is quite a gamble, but which is very well stocked as it provides a real plus in history. Jai regretted that he must wait 350 pages for the subject to be treated so that it is discussed in the second chapter. Nevertheless, I understand the need to develop a rich context for that matter.

The real asset of J. Arden (in addition to being an adorable smiling and author ^^) is his pen. Even sil ny is little dialogue, the flow of the text allows the reader denchaƮner pages to satisfy his curiosity.

The only downside that japporterais and has a little embarrassed my reading, this is main dintrigue absence. The thread napparaƮt, for my taste, belatedly. This forces to follow during many chapters only daily heroine, also clocked be it.
The ending is also treated quickly enough given the number of pages of the novel, but she is saved by a frantic pace, leaving the reader unsatisfied with a huge desire to open Volume 2 for the answers to all his questions !!!

In conclusion, if you like fantasy Lurban, you will enjoy with this first novel by J. Arden, author a bright future !!!
