Stranger

It has been years since I last read this book, and it has not aged as well as I remembered. However, it is still a great introduction to the world of the Carpathians, their struggles against infertility, and this world's version of vampires.

When first starting this book I did not like it much. It seemed a bit trite at first. But once the story really started (about 3-4 chapters in) I started to really like this book. By time it ended I was hooked on the series.

Whew, what a rollecoaster!
You have action from the beginning to the end.
It's your normal mate story with the dark, broody alpha male that finds his one-true-lifemate.
