My Commander

Oh by golly this is definitely one of my most favorite books of all time. My only complaint was that the book wasn't longer.
The story was pretty fast-paced. I'm glad Alanea Alder didn't waste too much time over the introductions into a paranormal world for a human. That's not the only thing I can thank Alder for, either. She gave us a spunky and funny heroine who knows how to get the job done. She gave us this wonderful Alpha male who can be the most adorable teddy bear when the need arises. We have many friends who give the main character support. There's also the stuck up snobs whom the main character puts into place. And then we can't forget the stimulating problem which is an invisible being coming after Meryn.
I absolutely have to gush more about Meryn. She's a geek with all her references (which I don't understand but everyone's reaction to her references still make them enjoyable and hilarious). She's also a tech whiz who can hack into basically anything. But the most important things about Meryn are her personality and attitude. Despite her being so anti-social, she has made plenty of true friends without any pretenses. She has also, as I wrote earlier, put many annoying and infuriating pieces of scum in their place. She doesn't take any shit, which allows her to be able to do so many incredible feats.
My only complaint, as I also mentioned earlier, is that the book was too short. I feel like a lot of questions were left unanswered, though I suppose they'll be answered in the other books. I also wish this book wasn't so short since I wanted some scenes of Meryn exposing some geekiness to others, especially Aiden and Bryon.
In short, I WANT MORE AIDEN AND MERYN. DON'T MAKE ME BECOME SEPARATED FROM THEM. I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH.

DNF. I made it to chapter 4, could not go further. MC spoke and acted like an adolescent. Everything was moving very fast with no explanation or emotional collection. If I wanted to deal with that I'd watch a made-for-tv movie.

3.5 stars!

This was a pretty decent read. I liked the characters for the most part. Meryn was super funny, and kick ass most of the time. Alas a few times she crossed over to become whiny and annoying. I sometimes wanted to tell here to suck it the hell up! lol

I enjoyed the world building, but thought the character descriptions could have been a little more in depth. I could never really get a good picture of what some of them looked like. The side characters were interesting, and the plot flowed nicely.

Overall I enjoyed this one!
