Title: 'Ware Wishes
Series: Satin Knights, book 1
Author: Melissa Glisan
Genre: Paranormal
Buy from: Aspen Mountain Press
ISBN: 978-1-60168-044-0
Jennifer Taylor is a singer of exceptional range and skill due to the mix of talents she's inherited. Her childhood love for Rayn DeSantis has survived despite his leaving home and losing touch with her and his own family. But she has no idea what he has endured in the meantime, all for the dream of being able to buy a ranch and making a home with her, for the dream of being worthy of her.
But what happens when Jennifer is asked to sing at Satin Knights by her roommate's father, the owner of the club and, as it happens, Rayn's boss? What will happen when Rayn discovers what she really is and she discovers what he's been doing since she last saw him?
This book fascinated me. I absolutely love the mix of mythology and how it's carried into the lives of the characters in the story. It's a complex story with some issues that are resolved in this book and some that carry through to the next books in the series. Melissa has done a great job in depicting the characters and the sex is just HOT.
The story has some very dark moments and some very light ones but the range is compelling. It's fast-paced and full of nuances that enrich it. Melissa surprised me with the ending of 'Ware Wishes and what actions some characters took as well as what THEY were hiding.
I can hardly wait to work on the next book in this series!
(In the interests of disclosure, I re-edited this book, so it is possible that my review is not without some bias but you can blame me for any editing mistakes. :) )
