    I love love love Drotuno…the whole series (I’m currently avidly reading part 3, Smoke & Mirrors) is fantastic.
    Gripping drama, mysteries to be solved and a team to die for…every last one of the team is crucial, it’s dynamic and they meld together with their quirky personalities and loyalty. I cannot praise it highly enough for originality and for the writing of the ‘action scenes’ … I held my breath far too often with this! There are some dark moments, but the relationship that builds between Edward and Bella is beautiful – fiercely protective of each other, both intelligent and strong. Read the series!

    Drotuno has created the perfect man in this Edward – strong, intelligent, commanding, sexy, confident, and best of all, attracted to an equally feisty, intelligent woman, Bella. This story is focused on action rather than angst and has an outstanding balance between action and lemons – both of which are written equally well. An intricate plot and complex character development set this story apart from others.

    The entire cast of characters, including the original characters, all come together to form a team that kicks ass and takes names. They are exceptionally loyal and protective of each other and everyone contributes a skill that is critical to this awesome team.

    Definitely recommend this one – especially if you’re looking for a straight up, no bullshit man and intense action.

    Pros: The most masculine Edward written, intricate plot, balance between plot and lemons
    Cons: Like many twifics, overuse of the words, “gaze” and “sigh.”

    This has a pretty good storyline, the characters development is first class, and her Edward, and strong, smart Bella appealed to me. However, (without giving away any spoilers) in my opinion, drotuno ruined all of her good work in the epilogue as it was incredibly cliched. So much so, that I only got a third of the way through before I stopped reading. The ending the author wanted to write meant that Bella’s actions did not fit with the character she had created. I would recommend reading this, but if you can bear to leave loose ends in a story (then I wouldn’t bother with the epilogue at all, as its all been written a thousand times or more in fanfic.)

    Pros: Good connection between characters
    Cons: Overuse of the words love, baby, sweetness, munchkin, and sweetie. It was very distracting.
