I am not typically someone who will seek out the paranormal, but I loved the first book and couldn’t wait for the time to read the second book. The characters in the book are very well developed. They are easy to relate to and once you beginning to read you feel as though you know them. The descriptions in the book are well written. It is easy to picture Broken Rope in your mind as you read. The action in the story moves at a steady pace. You want to keep reading and I found real life was getting in the way of finishing the book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I recommend this book. It can stand alone, but I suggest starting with book one.
