Faust meets The Matrix in Taylor Keating's GAME OVER #1 in the Paranormal Guardian Series [2 writers Catherine Verge and Paula Fox/Erotic Romance & Contemporary Romance as Cathryn Fox] , a compulsively readable blend of fantasy and science fiction with a soul-stirring love story at its core! Yes, there will be two more books in the series.
I think this is a really fun premise for a book, but not executed as well as it could have been. First, what exactly happened during this Great War that decimated the world's population. Also, I am still uncertain about the awareness of the supernatural beings to the normal human. We are told a secret governmental study is leaked, and so some believe these creatures exist, while others are still skeptical. Yet they attack people on the street. I also think we really missed out on a lot of Hawk's back story. We learn his wife and daughter have died, but we don't get to know a lot about him. I enjoyed him as the hero - he was tough, sexy, and has a nice sense of humor, but we don't get to know him that well. There is a set-up for a second book, so hopefully we will dive more into his character and the world he is from. While I felt at times we are bombarded with information, there is still a great deal I wish was explained more.
Like I mentioned, this is a nice, different premise. The action never stalls and eventually (they make you wait awhile) the romance becomes very steamy indeed. I will definitely be reading the second book with hopes that more of the world is revealed and explained.
