My thoughts about Scythe of Darkness ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)
First lines—"The compulsion to find him made me slightly crazy. My knees shook, vibrating my full-size bed; my headboard tapped the wall like Morse code. Restlessness overtook my feet. I wished my parents would leave already."
To be honest, I have to say that this is not my usual genre but I read the short story prequel Touch of Darkness (Scythe of Darkness 0.5) and I was intrigued. I had to have more! I love it when an author takes me down a different genre path and then I end up loving it.
Mia is drawn to Thanatos at the same time as being totally bewildered by him. She is confused by her attraction to Thanatos as much as she is frustrated by his presence and his past. I was just as confused as she was, which spurred me to keep reading.
And then, what an ending! I want more! This is book #1 and I am excited to see what comes next!

I like the summary, but the excerpt sounds a little cheesy as if the author uses too many benign details -- full sized bed?
