I really loved First Taste of Darkness I found the characters endearing and the storyline compelling and would highly recommend other to add it to their read lists. 2.5 stars. Very predictable, I had the "villain" pegged from the start. Might have been better and more suspenseful as a longer novel. Not enough character development prior to the sex to make me care about them. I'm not fond of books starting off at a one-night stand, so that plus the insta-connection made this too ridiculous for me. The writing was ok, I would give a full length novel by this author a chance.
