Very unique World

I loved the sunlight moonlight citizens concept for this book. The writer didn't follow a typical dark=vampire theme. i loved the way she described how the characters saw their world and how they got along with each other. It was a fascinating "curse" I hope she will reveal more about the society and the curse on the two peoples. The author did a good job switching between characters and keeping you craving to return to each one where you left off. I am excited about the next in series and hope this author keeps it up!

DarkBorn

This book captures your attention right from the start. It gets you trying to figure out what is going on or what the background is when you read the first paragraph. Very engaging and very imaginative. Excellent characters and plot. Can't wait for the next book to come out.

This is an intriguing romantic fantasy

In Minhorne, Tercelle Amberley arrives at the home of Darkborn mages Dr. Balthasar and Lady Telmaine Hearne to beg a favor. They are reluctant to assist Tercelle, who used to be engaged to his missing brother, but her connection as the fiancée of ducal heir Ferdenzil Mycene gives them no choice.

Tercelle explains she is carrying the illegitimate offspring of a Lightborn father shocking her Hearne hosts; as they know the curse makes Darkborn shun the light and the Lightborn shun the dark so they never mix. Bal helps her give birth to twin boys, who shockingly can sees as Nightborn are always blind. Almost immediately afterward Tercelle flees leaving her offspring behind. Thugs arrive demanding the infants be handed to them; Telmaine takes off the gloves to keep her beloved safe from a third ancient enemy of both races.

This is an intriguing romantic fantasy in which readers will believe in the curse that has split the residents of Minhorne into two distinct groups that are supposedly unable to mingle; thus the story line contains a fascinating underlying mystery. The aristocratic Hearne couple is a strong pairing as their relationship evolves with the changing threat. Although more insight into the origins of the curse would have been appreciated as the paranormal blight is just there, but with so much influence on society, fans will relish a visit to the divided city of Minhorne.
