Raintree: Inferno

By Linda Howard

It's time to discover the Raintree trilogy

Two hundred years after the Raintree clan defeated and abandoned them on a small Caribbean Island, the Ansara wizards are rising again to take on their bitterest foes. Despite their extraordinary powers and supernatural origin, the Raintree have largely blended into the modern world. They are bankers, cops, husbands, wives and lovers in the society of humankind. But now, from Nevada to North Carolina, the rejoined battle will measure the endurance of their people. It will test their loyalties and relationships. And it will force upon them all new lives they could barely have imagined before.

Reviews for Raintree

I enjoyed this paranormal romance but there was a part where the hero was too forceful without proper explanation and that bothered me. Otherwise plot, action and romance were pretty good. Casino owner Dante confronts Lorna when he suspects her of counting cards.

I love Linda Howard and a bad LH is still better than most. This felt rushed to me. I got the world building, frankly it wasn't that complex or interesting (but I read a lot of fantasy, maybe to someone who had only ever read romance, it might have felt more out there) but neither the massively alpha hero (no objections there, I like my heros alpha) nor the heroine quite got interesting enough for me. They were more like ciphers than real people, characters that LH has created before. It's no where as good as Son of the Morning! I would rate it C+ for LH, which is a kind of B- for anyone one else.

This is the first book in an amazing series. You can almost feel the intensity in this book between the main characters.

Dante runs Inferno, a casino and hotel. His attention is brought to a player who is winning a little too often. He's intrigued so he asks for her to be brought to his office and this is where he finds himself captured by her. Sparks fly between the pair of them and before they can properly get to know each other the casino goes on fire.It's a fun read, I'm a fan of paranormal romances and this is one of the better ones I've read recently. The characters are fun and occasionally things happen that aren't exceptionally logical from a character point of view but overall it's a good read. I'll be looking for more in this series and more from this author.
