Review: Rapture at Midnight (The Cynn Cruor Bloodline #1) by Isobelle Cate

****4 Stars****
 
 
Finn is part Werewolf, part vampire, part human, he's a Cynn Cruor, an ancient tribe of these paranormal beings. Finn is hell bent on avenging the death of his parents at the hands of the Scatha Cruor, a rival tribe of paranormal beings who are evil, greedy and wish to lord over all mortals as opposed to living in harmony with them, as the Cynn Cruor do.
Eileen is a computer whizz who designs programmes for big companies. Unbeknownst to her, her latest client Dac, is the leader of the Scatha Cruor. She gets caught up in the crossfire between both paranormal tribes when she meets Finn.
I found this story to be really well written and actually quite an easy read considering it's heavy on the paranormal aspect. The sex scenes were absolutely scorching, like seriously, Finn and Eireen set the freaking pages ablaze!
I found the story intriguing, there are several plot points that leave you desperate for answers. This is the first part of a series so there are unanswered questions but I wouldn't describe it as a cliff-hanger. Each book in this series will be about a different Cynn Cruor warrior, so each couples story will be complete by the end of their book with a long running plot line throughout the series concerning the war between the Scatha and the Cynn.
I really liked this story and the paranormal world it's set in, I'm interested to see where it goes in the following books.

There is an on-going war between two breeds of immortal warriors who carry human, vampire, and werewolf blood, the Cynn Cruor and the Scatha Cruor. The Cynn Cruor wants to live in harmony with the human race. The Scatha Cruor wants to enslave them. Finn Qualtrough, a Cynn Cruor warrior is on a mission to find Dac Valerian, the leader of the Scatha Cruor responsible for the deaths of many, including his parents. When he pursues three Scatha warriors who can lead him to Dac, he happens upon a woman who awakens a desire within Quinn to claim her as his own.

She is the very essence of his immortal life.

Eirene Spence is an insomniac and a computer genius who loves walking in the park at midnight. She stumbles upon the Scatha Cruor and is almost killed until a handsome stranger rescues her. His touch ignites a hunger inside her that only he can satisfy.

He is her soul.

By some twist of fate, one of Eirene’s clients is Dac Valerian. She is able to tell Finn and the rest of the Cynn Cruor where Dac is hiding. Now Dac wants her dead.

Will Finn be able to keep Eirene alive and at the same time fulfill his mission? Will Eirene’s wish to be part of Finn’s life come true knowing that he is destined for someone else?
