Unhuman Light is a spectacularly exciting urban fantasy romance that holds readers spellbound from the very first page to the last. The characters are strong, bold and fascinating which easily draws reader into their story and readers can easily connect with these characters, understand their motivations and fall in love with them. The characters are lifelike and in no way perfect which makes all their actions seem realistic and full of depth. Kaitlin is a wonderfully, enthusiastic and energetic heroine that has an appealing personality (although she may appear to be a bit too good to be true, at times) and while she may be human, she is full of special gifts that make things interesting and exciting. And while this story is just the beginning for her, the romance part is already heating up as a master vampire and a couple of alpha males compete for her attention.
The story is fast paced and quite informative giving background and explanations along the way but in such a way that it all fits and keeps things exciting. There is certainly no way to be bored when reading this story as it continuously has something thrilling, suspenseful or intriguing going on with lots of surprising twists and turns that readers won’t want to miss a second of. Magical battles, supernatural politics and beings that have been worshiped as gods abound throughout this story also adding to all the excitement and secrets add to the suspense ensuring that readers will come back for more of this supernatural battle of magic and strength.
Unhuman Light is Book #1 in the new Chronicles of Light series. This is UF at its best! It sucked me in and was a fast paced, great read. I loved it and am off to read book 2.
Unhuman Light is the first in a urban fantasy series. Kaitlin O’Malley is a therapist by day and a protector against evil by night, She is human but has skills that have the supernatural community wondering. This is a fun series with a kick butt heroine that I really enjoyed watching her grow and stand up for herself against some powerful beings. Just ordered the next installment of her adventures.
I enjoyed this book very much, looking forward to the rest in the series, it is a series not a serial.
I’ve always been an Urban Fantasy fan although for the past few years I’ve stuck with the romance genres. But, Unhuman Light had all my favorite paranormal/fantasy elements, so I couldn’t pass it up.
Unhuman Light is definitely pure Urban Fantasy but there was a touch of romance involved. I just wish it hadn’t faded to black with such an intriguing little conversation afterward. It’s good there was plenty of action of the other kind to keep me happy.
Kaitlin is a therapist by day, but the unique powers she wields mean she is exceedingly good at fighting supernatural bad guys, especially demons. Unfortunately, her particular skill is causing an unbalance to the system that has gained her attention she does not need.
Kaitlin was super cautious and took into account all the pros and cons of not only who she befriended but also every step she made. I loved this in some ways, but in others it made her feel almost cold about certain things.
I know this wasn’t a romance and Kaitlin and her super sexy vampire weren’t a serious couple, but I think the fade to black thing was a missed opportunity to inject more emotion and feeling into the story. That being said, this didn’t ruin the book for me at all, I still really liked it.
With vampires and shifters of all kinds, the action I adore, and the fascinating supernatural politics so I was in my fantasy happy place. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
