Nocturnal Book Reviews

I shouldn't even mention that Dragos and Pia managed to stay my favourite couple through the whole 5 books of this series. There is just so much chemistry between them, humour and passion. Somehow I can't help but draw parallels between them and Kate Daniels with Curran - my all time favourite couple EVER.

Their pairing works, even if it's the most problematic among all the characters in the series. What with Pia keeping her heritage secret and being considered Dragos's weakness; her unusual uneasy pregnancy and her quiet ways. Wyr-folk can't figure her out, and this is the root of the problem.

This time Pia has to go on a separate journey from Dragos, who organized his Sentinel Games and has to stay and attend them while his mate tries to mend damaged relationships with Elves.

However Dragos' uneasy feeling about letting his pregnant wife go to an enemy's territory alone turns prophetic when Pia and her contingent of bodyguards get dragged into an ancient God's attempt to conquer elves demesne.

Among the treachery of dark magic, civil war and strong compulsions, Pia has to work fast on figuring out how to stay alive just until Dragos joins her for one epic final battle.

I love that the world created by Thea Harrison is multi-layered and colourful, I love that she writes a strong blend of paranormal romance and urban fantasy, and I won't hesitate to recommend her books to fans of Jeaniene Frost and Nalini Singh - two authors who write in the same mixed genre.
