Laney is a fantastic paranormal romance between two unique characters...a human and vampire! (yeah I know it’s been done before) but this is not like the others. Mrs. Sowles brings many twists to the ordinary vamp/human romance. She is able to provoke emotions on many levels that many stories of the same genre cannot do. Laney is a college student, most characters in other books are usually in High School. This lends a little more maturity to the characters and story line. Laney is a strong character with an awesome sense of humor and a loving heart. She isn’t always a whiney-self-reflecting-gonna be the martyr type girl. Cue Oliver...he's sexy and mysterious. This is typical for many stories but where he is set apart is his realness, depth and sincerity. Mrs. Sowles makes you forget(at times) that Oliver is a vampire. He has insecurities and isn't always self confident and egotistical as many vamps tend to be. Besides his obvious sexiness, Oliver's sincerity, humor and love for Laney draws her and the reader to him without reservation. Although this is a wonderful romance, let’s not forget that it is paranormal also. It has all of the intensity and action any great paranormal story should have. There are so many "OH MY" moments I can’t even count. The range of emotions that Mrs. Sowles can extract from a reader is incredible. I laughed, cried, had face splitting smiles, got jealous, angry and had butterflies throughout the entire book. Needless to say I LOVE Laney! Thank You Mrs. Sowles!
