MY THOUGHTS

LOVED IT

Bianca, an actress, has many admirers but few actual friends, so when her good friend, Adam, is murdered, she attends his funeral and this makes her a suspect as well as bringing the unwanted attention of his enemies. Mac, his brother in arms and closest friend, seeks her out since he knows she was the last one seen with him. He also catches her whispering to Adam’s casket that she will keep his secrets which to Mac, is a worry since he and Adam are part of the shape-shifting Imnada and their secret is a point of survival for his tribe. On the other side of the coin is the Others, fey creatures, that are the mortal enemies of the Imnada. Renata’s family has been murdered and she aims to track down the killers which she knows are Imnada.

There is an immense amount of world building in this fist installment. I was really taken by Bianca and her back story as an abused wife and how her father had taught her botany which now will help Mac unravel Adam’s secret and possibly that will help the survival of his race. There are a lot of other minor characters that I hope will be present in future books. The Wallace family, who gives shelter to Mac and Bianca. The fact the Renata is drawn so evilly just makes her that more of a villain as she seeks her revenge. I am not sure where the series will go but this looks like a great start.
