Customer Reviews

A bit slow

I had trouble getting into this book as it was a bit bit slow and boring. I also didn't care for the setting and the dialogue is a bit strange and leaves something to be desired.

Chelcie (lover)

This book grabed my heart and I didint even pick it my mom did I fell in love with it right away when I read what wolfsign said in the begining page its so deep and full of love. It shows no matter how long hate can last love always wins and will never leave you when hate just kills you slowly Rancour figured out the real pleasure was true love and Ive looked so long for that in books deep realistic love still rapped up in fantasy. I cried this book brought tears it brought happieness to to know that Rancour found what he always wanted

yup, nuthin short of awesome

Lets just say this book is really good. I couldn't put it down... A comtemporary piece, but has all the elements of a classic: werewolves, vampires, terror, courage, romance.... and sex ^^. I didn't really mind the frequent er "suggestions" towards it, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone overly sensitive. The beauty of the book is of its simplicity of the plot, yet it holds so much depth. The characters are solid, and really seem to breathe. Suspense grips every word. Romance clings on every page... a real piece of ART ^_^. There are a few minor weaknesses though; I find the flashbacks a nuisance sometimes, and there are some parts that aren't exactly perfectly described/ explained very well, but most of the pieces fit in harmony. And the book had too much of a background for such a short story.... and too much suggestive stuffies ^_^. as I said, I personally wasn't bothered by it, but younger kids will shy away. Apart from those minor things, the book is awesome. Buy it, read it, and read it again. 4.7 stars, but rounded up it becomes a nice 5 ^^. lUcAs =P

Mature, But Well Done

Rancour. An ancient feud between two races: The werewolf and the vampyre. Two immortals to live forever...even in this world. This is the situation Alix, or Alexandria, finds herself in. A high school girl, about to graduate. Mysterious wolf attacks have also been present and she can't help to wonder why. However, Rellik shows up. He is not as you first expect. But he knows something of Alix and will not leave without it... Very well done MacCann! Wonderful plot and twists. I was hooked! I highly recommed this for someone who likes a good fantasy, but also romance. Charming, it was. Wonderfully thoughful and in depth. It was very well developed. However, I do warn you. Young readers...stay away. There are quite a few references to sex and such. Don't read this novel if you get disturbed about that kind of thing. I found that these certain parts could have been left out. Future advice to you MacCann. A good fantasy doesn't need such intimate situations. Either give a sentence about them or leave them out. Actual description is a big 'no'. Again, well done! I am glad to have it upon my bookshelf! ...:Midnight's Eve:...
