What a fascinating, wonderful book. It is thought provoking and stimulating reading. As a Christian theologian, i found it extremely wonderful and helpful reading.

I was searching for some else when I found this book and decided to buy it. I'm so glad I did. It's definitely a worthwhile and enjoyable read.

Randomly came upon this one. I laughed, I cried, I had a hard time putting it down in the second half.  As others mentioned there is not a whole lot of action in the first part, mostly background, but I found it interesting and helpful.  The grotesques in Seraphina's mind garden were fascinating, along with her abilities. It was interesting the way in which the half breeds were gifted and their variances. I did find Lucian's undying infatuation with her a little odd.  Imlamn's reveal totally caught me off guard.  look forward to the next book in the series, which doesn't come out 'til Feb 2014

After the first couple of chapters the book really takes off. I wasn't sure if I was going to get into it initially, but when I did I could not put the book down. I'm really glad I picked this one up and to anyone else considering this book as an addition I would strongly recommend it. Just get through the first couple of chapters - which aren't boring, but not exactly thrilling - and the rest of the book is more than worth the read.

I found the one I thought I had lost. This one felt good and right also.

For some reason my reviews keep having issues so I will post something short and sweet this time.

This book is not normally in my range of books that I read but I decided to give it a chance and I am glad that I did. The author new to me and their work is extremely well written, there are no major plot fails , And the book seems to flow well for me. The characters are interesting and grab your attention.

I liked it although I don't usually read paranormal copies, I decided to give this one a try. Glad I did.

I realized this book was going to be about one of the more minor cahracters from the fiurst book, and I was not expecting too much. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are well written and interesting. I am not a big writer of reviews. However I am trying, and this is one of those books. I found the writing to be very smooth, the sort of book that I found hard to put down and looking forward to sitting down with again. This series is the first I have read by this author, but I am anxious to start number 3 here in a few minutes. I also am looking forward to reading her other series.

I enjoyed putting this one together. When I first started I thought it was going to go really, really fast. That'll teach me to get over confident. A little after the halfway point it started getting very challenging. That tree is a doozy, likewise the grass and tire near the tree. But onward I persevered and the end result made the effort worthwhile. Cobble Hill makes quality pieces with bright colors, very clear imaging and some very attractive pictures. Recommend.

I randomly stumbled upon this book and I'm glad that I did. I had recently finished reading "One second after" by William R. Forstchen (which started out good, but ended up stupid and way too patriotic for my taste)After looking inside and reading the first couple of pages I knew it was something that I could get into and I was right. I knocked out the first half on the first night of recieving it, fell asleep, woke up and finished the rest. It was that entertaining to me. Nova brings a fresh perspective into a tired sub genre. I don't like giving anything away, but "The Gardener" is the coolest fictional character I've come across in some time. His first foray into violence was smooth, kind of like how I or any other of my friends might have handled it and to me thats awesome. Awesome book. Cant wait till the sequel arrives.

It took me a while before I was able to pick this one up and read it through.  I'm sorry I stalled so long.  The concepts and thoughts in this book are fascinating - and logical.

I'm glad I gave this one a chance, have had more than my share of clinkers lately.

Very cool story with great characters and just enough graphic detail to make me cringe a little here and there.  The tone and theme reminded me a little of the Bill Paxton movie Frailty.  Give it a go, it is very well written and I could count all the typos on one hand.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this one, till I realized I was loving it!  I want to go back and read the other books about brothers one and two, although I can't imagine they will be as good as this one.

I do not typically read novels but this one caught my attention. I'm am glad I made the exception. This was an entertaining read on my staycation. I look forward to anything new this writer might publish.

With all the romance-books out there, it's still hard to find heroines I can get behind, but I really liked this one. Not only does she feel like an actual human being, but she's a fairly reasonable woman, and while I felt like our male lead could do with some more in-depht exploration, it was still a very strong effort. I'll be looking for the author's work in the future.
