Review

This is a great romance about being in love with a really powerful woman who may be dying. How to fix that?

 

The puzzle here is great as is the rewriting of long lived lives. This plot is what happens when any couple forms writ large. How do we reconcile our new life together? Our pasts?

 

With wonderful character development, subtle touches like a comical dog, and an amazing paranormal world to play in, this is a grand love story between a Vampire Queen and a Gryphon Shapeshifter that is not to be missed.
