Kiss of Midnight is very well written with an intriguing plot full of action, very well developed characters that you are sad to let go of and sexy scenes that leave you breathless.

A great beginning to a remarkable series. The blending of the story lines is superb. One wonders what our world could be like if our national and individual aspirations were set aside. Leave it to SciFi to show the way.

Great beginning to a fine series - it's nice to have our own copies and not wait for it to show on TV.

I received this E-Book for free from the author for an honest review, so here goes.  This was a great first book in a new series.  The main character is a witch and Justicer, meting out justice to the Strange.  They are creatures who were thrust into our world when the Rift occurred and have all been gathered in Strangetown.  As I said this is a great beginning to the new series and I look forward to reading more about Strangetown and it's inhabitants.

This is an excellent start to a new series blending mystery and the supernatural. The characters are well developed, the plot is fluid and coherent and the ending is well developed. The book stands alone while allowing for ongoing stories. I fully recommend this book and look forward to the next volume. If you wonder why 4 instead of 5 stars, I reserve a star for the great books .

Magician is a wonderful beginning to a most enjoyable series. Throughout the book, and indeed the series, Mr. Feist creates a captivating world of high adventure with truely likable characters. I found the book difficult  to put down as I followed the two boyhood friends throughout their  adventures. A must for Fantasy/Sci-Fi readers.

This was a wonderful free read and a great beginning to the series.  It appears that each book will be self contained and yet the Island magic continues thru them all.  I really want to read the story that is the continuation of the Master of the island.  His story Im sure will be very exciting.  Ive read one other of this series and it was great as well.  With what looks to be a great line up of authors

A brilliant start to what has the potential to be one of the next big series.

The story starts with a high profile and horrific murder. The lead character, police officer Ray Schiller starts the story having spent the night in jail for brawling. On release he is straight on the case. His chief would rather be rid of him but Ray is the best they've got.

Throughout the book we meet a mix of chracters from High Flying Exec's to Small Town Folk and they are all a good fit for the story. Each possible suspect could be the murderer.

The author does a good job of making all the characters, and situations they find themselves in realistic and puts in two twists - one at the end which leads things towards the second book, and, more importantly, one in the middle that hits like a train and changes lots of things for everyone.

In Ray Schiller we have a leading character who doesn't hold back and who, due to being separated from his wife and children, is not in a good place in his life, but comes across as a generally good guy and a hell of a good cop.

I am looking forward to the next in this series and also to reading this book again.

Great beginning of a series, it will be a tough wait for the next volume. Fans of old man's war will feel at home here.

This is a great start to a series with tons of potential. I would have liked to see it integrate the concepts and core issues of the remainder of the series more, but it was gripping enough that I went immediately to the second in the series. For that reason I give it 4.5 stars - an amazing read.

This is going to be another great series.  This starting book brings a lot of current world conditions into play, and how they effect the main family.  I enjoyed meeting the characters. The skull-drudgery the shadow government is up to is well presented, and believable depending on your world view.  I did try the audio-book this time, and it was well read and allowed me to keep up with the book and get other things done.  The voice is easy to listen to.  I do recommend this series.

This is a the beginning of a great series. I love Patricia Briggs and I love this series! I love the different view of Mercedes Thompson series and I love being able to see more from some of the side characters from Mercy's world. This series focuses more on the romance than Mercy's world.

This book is the beginning of an amazing series. The world building is well thought out and intriguing. The characters are now some of my favorite ever, which is saying a lot. The author brings a relatable flavor of humor to an intense situation. I HIGHLY recommend this entire series.

A fantastic start to a great series.  I enjoyed it so much that, after reading it for free with Amazon Unlimited, I bout a kindle copy just to support a work that I loved.  The strongest of the trilogy, but the other books are still incredibly strong.

It is violent without being over the top, gritty without being grim dark, fantastical without ever losing you.  A truly great read.  I ended up finishing it in one night and finished the rest of the series before the end of the week.  My only gripe is that there isn't more.

Highly, highly recommend for fans of interesting and well thought out fantasy.

This series hooked me with this first book. Can't wait for more.

The beginning of a wonderfully exciting series. Felicia Mires captures your interest from page one. Her characters are very real. The plot's exciting twists and turns hold your attention and moves along speedily with no 'I want to skim over this part'.
Natasha's ethical principles and spiritual foundation make it a great read for teens as well as adults. Ms. Mires books share solid Christian values juxtaposed with worldly conflicts without becoming insipid. I have put down more than one Christian novel because the protagonist is just too 'goody two-shoes' to be real.
This is a great read and an excellent beginning to an exciting series. (I know because I've read them all!)

This is a great start to a series that really has a little something for everyone! I fell in love with many of the characters, and can't wait to see how they develop throughout the rest of the series. Having maps in place to visualize this fantasy world is a great addition
