Claimed: Book 1 in the Brides of the Kindred
on April 04, 2011
I have to say that I have been a fan of Evangeline's books for the last few years, both m/m and m/f. The variety of books she writes really is incredible and extremely imaginative. This one is probably my all time new favorite of any of her m/f sci-fi books to date. It is also a really great length novel (564 pages on my Sony ereader). There is nothing I hate more than paying $5-6 dollars for a book listed as a full length novel and when I load it onto my ereader it comes in at less than 200 pages long. Definitely not a problem with this one and would have been worth spending more to purchase it than the ridiculously inexpensive $2.99 I spent. Since so many people have already commented on the plot I won't repeat anything here about it, all I can say is if for no other reason you have to read this book for the 'molesting mat' scene in the bathroom. I haven't laughed like that in a long time! Plus I am so looking forward to Sylvan's icy heart being melted by Sophia in the next book. Evangeline was kind enough to reply to an email I sent to her and she let me know that the next book in the series 'Hunted' will probably be out in a couple of months and is longer and a little darker. Then Kat's book 'Sought' is after that (this one is with the Twin Kindred, won't that be a fun read!). They will definitely be going on my pre-order list. So if you haven't read any of her books before than this is the one to start with. If for some reason you don't like sci-fi romances than check out some of her other contemporary, paranormal or erotic ones. If you want to try any of her m/m books than 'The Assignment' is an absolute must!

Hunted--Book 2 Brides of the Kindred
on May 24, 2011
(no rating)
Evangeline did it again! Another great book in this series (you definitely want to read Claimed first if you haven't already before tackling this book). I literally stayed up all night to finish the book, it was that good. Loved Sophia and Sylvan. Though I must say my new favorite is definitely Xairn. SLIGHT SPOILER ........................................I bawled like a baby during his last scene with Sinja. END SPOILER I can't wait for Xairn's HEA in book 4, maybe with the girl in the prophecy? I'll keep my fingers crossed. It's going to be a long wait until August when Kat's book comes out. Great job Evangeline!

on July 29, 2011
Evangeline did it yet again. Another terrific book in this very addictive series. I cannot recommend this series enough. Now I just can't wait for the next and final book in the series.
