Loved it
The
Darkness
Chosen
series is a fantastic read. I couldn't put these four
book
s down. Hot sizzling romance, love of family, and great action/adventure scenes. I highly recommend getting them: Scent of Darkness, Touch of Darkness,
Into
the Shadow, Into the
Flame
. Christina Dodd is a wonderful author. I've only read a few of her books, and I loved every one of them!

B, Incestuous Possibilities
Don't get me wrong, the
book
wasn't a bad read.
Quick synopsis:
Varinski family damned to superhuman abilities to shapeshift
into
particular animals until they break the curse of reuniting 4 icons of the Virgin Mary. One descendant breaks off because he finds love with a Gypsy seer, moves to America, changes his last name to Wilder and tries to live a just life in hopes of finding favor with God. The Varinski family vows to hunt him down & kill him.
His wife, being a gypsy seer, once in a while will trance out and foretell a prediction. She predicted the fall of the Varinski family. She predicts that 4 sons will find the icons with their true loves, reunite the family icon and break the curse. Thing is, the woman has 3 sons and 1 daughter (who is an anomaly as the Varinski curse only allows sons to be born).
So the 3 older sons have found their true loves and each brought a piece of the icon. The 4th child, the daughter, "Firebird" (who is named after a Russian story, but on a personal note...I think the name is lame) comes home from college knocked up. She bears a son and she won't tell the parents anything about the father, Doug Black. She had left college because she accidentally caught him shapeshifting into a cougar and she believed him to be after her family to kill them as he must be one of those evil Varinskis.
Turns out Doug Black was an orphan found in the desert. He figured out he was related to the Varinksis and contacted the evil ones in order to help him track Firebird down. Ooops! Big boo-boo.
Anyhow Doug has been searching for his birth family his whole life. Which explains how he got into police work as he believed his role would allow him access to certain information not readily available to the public. He wants to track his family down and make them pay for dumping him.
Then he finds Firebird. His birth family's daughter. He falls in love with her and starts doing the nasty with her. HELLO?!!! Am I the only one who noticed he could be sleeping with his sister? He has NO idea that she's not the biological daughter of his parents, but he sleeps with her anyways.
This is the biggest flaw with this book. Sad that something so obvious was missed, but had it been written in that he somehow knew she wasn't their biological daughter, I would have rated this book higher.
In the end, turns out the Devil made someone else switch Doug with Firebird at birth. So, sleeping with your sister who isn't really your sister is ok I guess.
"Into the Shadows" was a better book.
