Editorial Reviews

Review

"Sydney Somers' thrilling story kept me on the edge of my seat! Unbreakable is an amazing story, with high action, twists, and subplots...and sex hot enough to make your blood boil!" - Alisha -- Two Lips Reviews

"UNBREAKABLE is a phenomenal beginning to a demon series that manages to stand out in an industry that has begun to release many similarly themed titles. Ms. Somers puts her personal spin on this theme and she does so with uniqueness and a strong voice that can't be denied. It's a fabulous start and where ever this series goes I intend to follow." - Jenn L. -- Romance Junkies

"UNBREAKABLE is one of those stories that has a dark beginning, but as the story unfolds you can't help but praise Sydney Somers for her uncanny ability to take the reader on one hell of a ride! From hot steamy sex scenes to fast paced action, this story has all the elements that according to this reviewer are sure to be a winner." - Sunshine -- Love Romances and More

"Unbreakable is an exciting, erotic love story between two people who fight to protect our world from the things that go bump in the night.There are no slow spots in this intense saga of fast loving, fast action, and first in a new series. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read the next one."- Karen H -- The Romance Studio

5.0 out of 5 stars Impossible To Put Down, January 16, 2008

I give it five stars.

Unbreakable by Sydney Somers is a fantastic action filled story, in the tradition of Buffy The Vampire Slayer that I found almost impossible to put down. The chemistry between the main characters as well as the secondary ones is outstanding.
When the story first starts Jordan and her partner / lover Gage are brutally attacked by a war demon and in the process the fatally injured Gage ends up dying in her arms.
Fast forward five years into the future, Jordan is still a cop by day but by night she's an a** kicking demon slayer with an attitude! So imagine her anger and hurt when she discovers that Gage didn't really die that night. Instead he's stayed away for the last five years in a misguided attempt to protect her from the shadow demons that she hunts and slays every night.

This book is definitely a keeper. If you love stories about demons, heroes, hot sex and a great love that won't be denied then you are sure to love Unbreakable.

I just couldn't finish this book, even though it was free on the Kindle. The heroine is supposed to be this kick-ass woman, and yet lets the hero physically bully her around without getting, or staying, mad. And even when mad, he can kick off her sex-drive so quickly and completely that it doesn't matter where she is, he can just "take" her. Forget that he's hurt her so badly and doesn't even give her much of a good reason.

Guess I've come to expect better of both leads because other writers let a strong woman be strong without having to create a barbarian to overpower her strength. They let the woman have a strong male partner instead of handler/master. This kind of relationship is just so old and not worthy of the this genre.
