... hooked on and I think I'm going to really like this one

I am always on the lookout for a new author to get hooked on and I think I'm going to really like this one.  I should have read this book first but instead devoured The Keeper of the Crows, an excellent book.  The story line had sounded better, hence my switcheroo.
A Sound in the Dark was a shorter read but really intense which was exactly what the author wanted to portray, to keep the reader on the edge of their seat.  The author doesn't fail to deliver in this book.
I did guess who the second partner was about 3/4 of the way through but it didn't spoil the story line at all.  This book would make an amazing, nail biting movie.
Thank you for another great read Kyle, keep them coming.

I went into this one knowing a bit about the lead male and thinking that it was going to have drama, which it did.  This won't be my favorite in the series, but it will certainly be lots of women's favorite.  There are some things I just love about this one, though.  I love the character Wheeler.  Fine, I admit it.  I am now biased and I cannot wait to get to Wheeler's story, but a the same time, I'm pre-mad that I'm not co-starring in it.  That but if of fan crazy aside...  This book got five stars.  Four would be a disservice these character that I really enjoy and the fact that the author seems to actually care about stuff like proof-reading and editing.  It's good writing!  Read the series!

That one surprised me, even though usually I'm not a major fan of science-fiction stories.
It takes a bit to warm up with the characters and newly introduced creatures called Mal Rous. But after that, I've been mesmerized by the many things presented to explore. And explore I did, loving every second of it. I have quite a thing for family secrets, and this one is a pretty dangerous one, at the same time very gripping, too.
The characters grew on me more and more, page after page, layer revealed after layer. I had a lot of fun discovering how they were related to one another. I liked as well that they have or gain flaws that make it difficult to determine whether they are good or evil. I'm curious how the changes in them caused by the happenings in this first installment of the series will affect their future behaviour towards one another and in general.
The little lovestory between Jaden and Briz: cuuute. I loved the first love feelings, the insecurities, the jealousy, the funny moments when Jaden's Mal Rous-altered senses make her all lusty and jump 'poor' Briz at the most unfortunate times, even the drama caused by Ava's cruel meddling. It somehow lightens the tense and oftentimes horror-filled atmosphere quite nicely.

All in all, I really liked this story. The topic of experiments with DNA and cloning is a contemporary one. The characters are complex and noticeably develop along with what's happening to them. The lovestory is very cute and a nice contrast to all the nightmarish things thrown at the characters. I'm curious what will happen next because the open ending leaves me with a feeling of foreboding doom.

For someone who is not a big Fantasy fan, I really enjoyed this one. Me reading a book like this is rare. But Minstrels Serenade really caught my attention so I decided to get out of my comfort zone for this one. Though I had some problems along the way, overall, I was really not disappointed and

Dionnes world building in this novel is superb. I feel like I was just with the characters through out the novel.  Her characters are brilliant as well. Danika is a smart and intellectual heroine and I love how she acts and thinks. The way she responds to the situations that is happening in her kingdom and in her heart are just right but at the same time, shes also flawed. Which makes her a good character and a good queen.

One thing that really stood up for me in this novel is that.. its never predictable. I keep turning the pages AND guessing whats going to happen next.

The love interest needs a little more work, in my opinion. I just don't like when guy is not that open ti his feelings. Or when hes saying something BUT it feels NOT genuine.

There was a love triangle and I REALLY ENJOYED it. I know, what a surprise. Maybe it has something to do with a fact that the guy that I was rooting for gets the girl! Yes, even though I don't feel his genuineness sometimes, I still rooted for him.

Overall, Minstrels Serenade is a good start in a series. I enjoyed it and I feel like I really experienced it.
