Another different type of book where creatures like vampires, werewolves, and aliens are co-exist. I'm intrigued. Again there's more to the story than what the book cover alone can offer.

:twisted: Invasion .. This is a book that leaves me speechless, it is intriguing and interesting and it is a very good story about vampires, wolves, magicians, and alien creatures that we see very little together but it catches my attention as little by little the story and the adventures of these striking characters .... I really want to read it and see how this book concludes.

I love Scifi and this one sounds to be particularly interesting with that kind of a plot. Looking forward to reading it. Thanks for your great review.

Paranormals are interesting at times , but i do not enjoy them as much when they wander too far into fantasy-land.The idea is original enough though ,ill give it that. Thanks for an interesting review.

I like that the book is well edited. I think those who like fast-paced urban fantasies will love the book. Nice review.

I usually don't enjoy sci-fi but this review made me think that the plot and character relationships would trump any existing qualms I have. The cheesy cover was also quite a put-off but I'm glad someone else felt the same way and was able to enjoy the story for what it is. Cheers!

I'm glad I read your review, I probably wouldn't have looked twice at the book because of the cover. I'm a fan of anything fantasy and this sounds like everything I love. Great review.

What will happen to Kurt, the Master vampire of Seattle, Parker, the Alpha werewolf, and Garrett, the mage, once they start losing their powers? Could they reverse the tryst? What's Melera's role in the story and who's behind the whole game? Urban fantasy and sci-fi seem to work together just fine in this novel. Thanks for a great review!

A nice combination of supernatural and thriller. However, I do not particularly like books with vampires and werewolves. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for a very well-written review.

The coming of the tryst. Could it be the beginning of the downfall of Kurt, master vampire of Seattle? And what powers could the tryst, posses to outwit this incredible band of undisputed supernaturals? What is at stake when the loss of powers reaches rock bottom? I love this kind of writing and thanks for the review.

I couldn't wait to finish the book. Am not a big fan of vampire or wolf books tho I've read/watched the Twilight series & watched Hotel Transylvania & liked both. I like the flow of thoughts, it kept me from doing chores lol :lol2: Tryst is a new word & I was intrigued. Would the witch be able to resolve the not-so-good circumstance she let herself into? If tryst meant what the witch's master said it was, who will emerge victorious of the trysttants? Another intriguing part is the alien. Would the author be able to blend in the alien part to the story very well & would the alien play a major role in the story as the book's title is Invasion? For fans of fantasy/sci-fi, this sounds a good read.

I love good urban fantasy, and genre-benders like this one usually prove to be both entertaining and thought-provoking. Hopefully the same will be true here. I'm a little unsure about aliens added to the mix, but I'm keeping my mind open. Thank you for the helpful review.
