[Siren Classic 56: Erotic Paranormal Fantasy Romance, Unicorn Shape-Shifter] After a horrible ordeal and lengthy captivity, Illori Swain is resigned to wither her life away in loneliness. Then she meets Karsten Morris, a male unicorn she has been searching for, the other half of her soul. A man of worth and a stallion of breeding, Karsten Morris sees Illori as his salvation, the love he's searched for all his life. The luck and light that rule their existence finally bring them together, but everything worthwhile is tested, and fate isn't against making the good suffer. After escaping her captivity, free from the bonds of hell that held her, Illori is now hunted by two of Hell's minions. One, Sammael, a fallen angel with one foot in Heaven, is set on the scent by Lucifer himself. The other, Nybras, is a devil vying for Sammael's job. Nybras will stop at nothing to get what he thinks he deserves. When the devil cheats to gain his prize, Sammael must join forces with Karsten to save the mare Illori to make sure the balance of the verses are not compromised. 4 Ratings

Professional Reviews4.5 HEARTS: Once again these authors took me on an epic journey filled with suspense, hot sex, fantastical beings, more hot sex and mystery. Illori and Karsten meet early in the book but their journey home to Glimmer, if they can get there, is fraught with roadblocks, pitfalls, and downright evil creatures who don't want to see them succeed. They do make some friends along the way that may be able to help them, but only as long as it's in their own interests to do so. Evil forces want to see the Unicorns dead; others want to see them succeed. I was swept along for this very enjoyable ride to the very end. -- Night Owl Romance4.5 STARS: "Using their own unique, incredible, and fertile imagination, Stella and Audra Price have penned another tale, The Soft Edge of Midnight, set in their Eververse world. This is a delightful book in which to immerse yourself. Karsten is a strong talking man and used to taking control. He never dreamed he would find his mate. Illori had spent years in captivity and is still recovering, but still has a lot of spunk left in her. The secondary characters really contribute to the wonder of this tale. Sammael, for all his shortcomings, still manages to work his way into our hearts. Stella and Audra Price have penned another winner with The Soft Edge of Midnight. Pick this one up and prepare to be delighted and entranced." -- Elise Lyn, Ecataromance 4 STARS: "Once again the Price sisters come up with a darkly original tale set in their Eververse world. With an assortment of shapeshifters, witches, demons and the fallen, it's a feast of supernatural characters. The romantic leads are an interesting pair of unicorn-shifters, but the demons take center stage with more personality, more plotlines and more sex." -- Romantic Times BOOKreviews 4 CUPS: "I loved the beautiful romance that stirred between Illori and Karsten. I could really sense the strong love that Karsten emitted for Illori. She is powerful in her actions making The Soft Edge of Midnight a fantastic read. With a hot witch, a Fey and some devils thrown into the picture to make the read even more intriguing; Stella and Audra Price create a sizzling fast-paced story that is very enchanting." -- Cherokee, Coffee Time Romance 4 STARS: "A stud is a stud no matter what his real form. Karsten is all male and his Unicorn tendencies of being overly protective of his female and his desire to keep her from all harm make him the ultimate in Alpha males. Illori is no slouch herself. Escaping from a demon lord, fighting to protect herself and her mate so that they don't end up back in hell, and she knows what she desires most in life. The two together are so hot there is steam rising off the pages. They are witty, smart and the authors have done an excellent job having them play off each other. The supporting characters are also well developed and I can't wait for what must be spin off stories of Sammael, who plays both sides of Heaven and Hell, and Gabriel (yes the angel), whose only charge is to keep Sammael out of falling onto Hell's side completely. The two of them make for perfect sparring partners for each other and great foils to Karsten and Illori. The story is fast paced and keeps the reader active and enjoying every word. The sex for all involved is hot and heavy and with a little bondage thrown in by Sammael for the good of the order. Definitely a recommended read." -- Brigit Aine, Just Erotic Romance Reviews 4 MOONS: "The Soft Edge of Midnight is an enjoyable, erotic, paranormal romance which takes place in a unique world and contains intriguing characters. The world of this book is filled with the fallen, angels, and beings from the glimmer, who were trapped on the human side and most of the characters can't be pigeon-holed into good or evil categories. Illora and Karstan are two lonely souls who find each other, but their path to happiness is fraught with obstacles. While Illora and Karstan are good characters, my favorite character is Sam, the reluctant hero. I really hope to see Sammuel's story soon! All in all, The Soft Edge of Midnight is an entertaining read, which I recommend." -- Marlene Breakfield, Mystique Books 4 ROSES: "The story was well written. The descriptions were well done and the parlay between characters was entertaining. It was an enjoyable pastime. If you enjoy the innocence of youth mixed with the erotic pastimes of adulthood then this is the story for you." -- Coale, My Book Cravings "The Soft Edge of Midnight is one of the first unicorn shape-shifter stories I have read. Unicorns are known for having a huge amount of luck, but I found that Illori and Karsten had Lady Luck playing a here "now and gone again" game with them. Illori finally begins to believe that luck has come back to her by leading her to the last remaining male unicorn on this plane and Karsten just knows that he is going to do his best to mate immediately with Illori. There was no way I could not grow to love both Illori and Karsten as they fought to have their future together. I have come to know that nothing in the Price sisters' books comes easy and their mating was coming too easy, so I was not surprised when not only did they have a problem, but huge problems with one of Hell's hunters and another minion. The Soft Edge of Midnight is a softer and a more romantic book than I have come to expect, but it still held that edge of violence and a mixture of characters I have come to expect and love. If you have not experienced any of the world that the Price sisters have created and are unsure, I believe this is a great place to start." -- Jo, Joyfully Reviewed ExcerptSTORY EXCERPT He scented the air once more, and the smell was too pure to be a half-breed. After all this time? Now when he was at his lowest? He turned heel and followed, not sure which she was. The scents of the perfume the others wore were getting in the way of the sweet, pure cloying scent he desired with every fiber of his Unicorn soul. |
