Book
Blurb:
Seven years ago, my world ended.
Seven years later, my new life began.
It's been seven years since Lexi Knight lost her
brother in a tragic accident. On the anniversary of his death, her brother's
best friend shows up unexpectedly - a man she hasn't seen since the funeral. He
is no longer the boy Lexi once knew, but a dangerous-looking man with tattoos
and dark secrets. He broke her trust and abandoned her family, yet what he
reveals makes it impossible to stay angry. Lexi has been secretly infatuated
with Austin since childhood, so finding out he's a Shifter just makes him
sexier. Dammit.
Austin Cole has returned to the city where he grew up,
and just in time. He's lived a hard life these past seven years, and the
shadows of his past are threatening to destroy Lexi's family. It's time that
she learned the truth about her brother, but there is a shocking twist that
Austin never saw coming. Now he must protect her family when her mother and
sister wind up in mortal danger. Will Lexi learn to accept the truth about who
he is, and can Austin salvage a relationship from the ruins of their past?
My Review: 5 stars
This is the first book by Dannika that I've had the pleasure of reading. I sincerely mean that. I've read similar books in length that it seemed took forever to finish. This one flew by so fast, it was over before I knew it. I want more, so I'm seriously glad this is the first in a series. I absolutely loved Lexi, how she was so protective of her little sister and her Mom. Austin is just pure animal charisma, so freaking hot! But hotter than his brothers. There are so many things I want to know, but I know I'm just going to have to wait and read the series like everyone else. I can't wait to see where it takes us. I loved all the characters, ok, most of the characters. I thought Lorenzo was a bit creepy. April was so cute, but at the same time I've got a million questions about her - and what was that that happened with Reno?? I'm glad that Lexi had April to talk to about other things. Anyway, thank you Dannika for writing this awesome book and creating the awesome characters in it. I think I'm in love with half of them, because there was something about each and every one of them that I found intriguing or fascinating, and I want to know so much more than I do.

Bio & Picture:
This is the segment where you learn a little more about who I am, so here's what I can tell you: I drink copious amounts of vitamin water placed precariously close to my laptop while writing. These are two healthy habits I have no intention of breaking. I'm a transplant living in the south, but I was born in the 70's to a military dad who moved us around the world.
When I'm not writing (which is all
the time), I'm hunting down Indie music, watching movies, reading, eating
Tex-Mex, discovering new ways to humiliate myself bowling, and burning up my
laptop battery on the Internet. I have a relaxed, easy-going personality and
don't like drama. I live with a cat who thinks she is a dog, or a goat (she
eats plastic, so I'm not sure which).
Throughout my life, I've had
insomnia. Counting sheep never worked and eventually I would imagine those
sheep were the sole source of food after an apocalyptic battle where only
thousands survived. I made up stories in a futile attempt to bore myself to
sleep. The problem was, I got so wrapped up in my "head stories" that
I would continue them through the following nights, changing it up each time to
make it more exciting. Eventually, I started writing my ideas down - creating
short stories, and then I discovered my love for poetry.
It's almost embarrassing how many
spiral notebooks and stacks of paper I have of poetry and lyrics.
Another passion: digital art. I
design all my book covers, marketing, and series art. I'm a very visual person
and pursued photography as an avid hobby for many years.
I am not a YA author (I feel like I
have to state this only because I've had a few people ask), but I think it's
wonderful there are so many books available to teens in Urban Fantasy and
Paranormal.
I am finally doing what I have always
wanted to do: giving my characters a pulse through writing full time. I focus
on adult urban fantasy romance, but I don't like labels and I enjoy blending
genres to break out of the confines of predictability.
But it's what I love to do.
