Although I've never read any of Brenda's historical romances, I've heard that they are good. And IMO she should have stuck with them because this book was baaaaaaad.

I liked the overarching mythology of the book (time-travelling superhuman "Masters" who are descended from Celtic Gods who are born to fight evil and Demons), and that is the only thing that kept me reading the book. Otherwise I would have put it down after the first sex scene - which was a little too close to rape for my taste. And if that hadn't done it, the multiple TSTL (too stupid to live) moves by the heroine would have. Or the many little contnuity errors in the book that had me thinking "What just happened?????".

I have decided yet whether or not to read the second book in the series. I've read the reviews and they say it gets better. But it would have to get a LOT better.
