He's been attracted to her since he first met her but couldn't go there because she was his best friend's little sister. Nate is a good guy but he can be a jerk, especially when it comes to Ali. When strange things start happening to her after her brother's death, she knows she has to go to Nate and the Black Knights for help. She met Nate years before through her brother but he always acted like he didn't like her which is too bad because she's always been attracted to him. Sometimes she came across a little ditsy too but through most of the book she was working on major lack of sleep so it's kind of excusable. She's very sweet but TBH, there were a few times when she seemed too soft and sweet but as the story progresses she does show some spunk and backbone that made me like her. She's the sister of one of the Black Knights and was crushed by his death. It's the first I've read by this author and I liked it enough that I've already bought the second book in the series to read next. I hope there will either be a different narrator, or this narrator will adjust the voices.ģ.5-4 stars This was a pretty good story. Hopefully it won't be drawn out like this story was. I really hope the angst has calmed down and will not be the predominate theme in all the books to come, but from the ending in this book, I am thinking book two will have a great deal of self-doubt (I love him/her but he/she hates me). After all, life is not all one or the other. There were parts where I was laughing out loud - I like it when the author feels it is ok to put humor into a story when the main theme is romance/thriller. Nate sounds like he is 5 ft tall and weighs 100#, with a very sore throat.

I have come to the conclusion that there should be two narrators in an audio book - male and female. The story line was ok, but I would much prefer the 'angst' to end sooner so the story can move along.
