I really enjoy this series' worldbuilding and characters, both of which are just a little different from the average offering. This particular book revolves around a biological plague created by a curse and fueled by negative human emotions. The two people sent to prevent the plague from sending the world spinning into chaos are a highly empathic healer and terror-inducing huntsman.
In addition to enjoying the setup, I was also glad to see that (after book two) each story in this series can be read as a standalone since it follows a different couple. That decision on the author's part plus the focus on the relationship between the two main characters gives this book a flavor of paranormal romance...but with urban-fantasy worldbuilding taking the places of excessive sex scenes. A much better sauce, in my opinion.
