Nocturne by Syrie JamesI actually came across this one while browsing the book section at Target for a differnt book. As I just love paranormal romance the title "Nocturne" really caught my attention. The synopsis sounded really interesting, and I could hardly wait to get home to start reading it. The author gives an excellent description of the setting where the story takes place. That said, there just wasn't enough back story provided on the main characters Michael and Nicole for me, so it was hard for me to feel anything for them, or root for their relationship. The story takes of over the span of 4 or 5 days I believe, so the romance felt rushed. I can understand the sexual tension in such a short time, but not "I love you." There were also a few parts of the story that I felt required some follow up. For example, Nicole is having dreams/ visions at different points throughout the story, but they're never addressed. Overall, this was a quick and easy read, and just what I needed to pass the time on a rainy afternoon. This was the first novel that I've read by this author, and I'd like to give one of her other novels- Dracula My Love: The Secret Journals of Mina Harker a try. My feeling is that if the story were longer, there would be more background info on the main characters, and the romance would have more depth to it.
