rynncameronThis book looks from the cover like a common romance, but it's not. It's a modern paranormal romance, half fairy tale, half speculative fiction.
In some ways it resembles A.M. Dellamonica's "Indigo Springs" but less serious, less devastating to the reader. Our heroine is in love with a man who obviously likes her but won't go out with her, and it drives her crazy because it doesn't make sense. Then first one then another new person comes to the small town, and make our heroine's life much more interesting than she ever wanted. There's adventure and explosions and a purple origami crane that flies. There's a 70-odd year old who runs the diner, and four friends who have known each other since elementary school, and there's the cook and dreamboat, Tobias, who has secrets of his own. By the end, all is explained and there's a happy ending for our couple as expected in a romance, even if it doesn't come easily.
If you like Jennifer Crusie, or would like a more real Nora Roberts, or would like a lighter version of Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson series, try this book. I'm keeping my copy to reread, I think, because I want to reread the character development now that I know their secrets.
Definitely recommended if you like a paranormal twist to your romances.
