Enter the world of the Others in the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s thrilling fantasy series: a place where unearthly entities—vampires and shape-shifters among them—rule the Earth and prey on the human race.As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her … curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others.
Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.

Everything about this book is exactly what I look for in a book. I have nothing to criticize. I love this series!
Loved, loved, loved this book. It is such a different take on things with humans not being the dominant species, and in fact the bad guys more often then not.
You cant help but fall in love with the characters in this book as they struggle to adapt to a changing world where easier is not always better, and some things are worth fighting for.
Dive into Ms Bishop’s world of “The Others”. You will not be disappointed.
It started a little slow, I was able to put it down to work or whatever but around 10% into it I couldn’t put it down. I had to force myself to stop reading so I could go to bed and then it invaded my dreams. Wonderfully written with awesome characters that felt so real. A must read!!!
