The series is promising. I liked the hero (Saber) in this story - and I even liked his brothers and the story line. I disliked the heroine (Kelly). I am all for strong females who know what they want, who don't take attitude from others, who can handle the situations that they are placed in - however, Kelly was arrogant, overbearing and just plain rude.

The premise is that 8 brothers (4 sets of twins) are exiled to Nightfall Island because they are to fulfill a prophecy that makes their country nervous and fearful. But as any prophecy goes, it is a little vague, but when fear is involved, people seem to think they know what will happen. The prophecy states that when the eldest weds, a disaster will happen, and when all the brothers are wed, something else will happen, but you don't know exactly because it is cut off...

Overall, I will read the other books in the series, to see what happens - hopefully, there will be no more Kelly-like creatures in the rest of them.
