Book #1, The Thrall series
by C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp
Genre: Urban Fantasy

Oh I so hate giving bad
reviews, so I'll start with the good. First, I liked the idea of the
Thrall. It was a different take on vampires, making them not vampires at
all, which was fine by me. And I did think the story was pretty well
written, but I bought it as an advertised paranormal romance and I
really didn't get that at all. Yes, there was a guy, but... I didn't
feel any romance and it certainly wasn't central to the story. In fact,
it probably could have cut out the guy (a werewolf fireman) altogether
and it wouldn't have made much difference.
I'd label this an urban fantasy (a genre I greatly adore), but not a paranormal romance (which was why I bought it) and sadly, it didn't excite me to read more. Hopefully, it was just a slow start. The publisher misrepresenting the beginning of a series that could have a lot of potential was a big turn off for me because I kept looking for the romance. Maybe if I'd gone into it with a different expectation, it might have earned one more star. =(
