If it is by Boyett-Compo, it is going to be great!

The Rysalian Empire had been near extinction. All their females were useless. When the men learned that the females from Terra could be impregnated by their race, they created Retrieval Units to abduct them. Of all the warriors in the Empire, the ones known as Reapers were most feared. They were the elite, feared by men and women alike. Trained from birth to hunt and kill, then altered at the age of ten for other special talents, Reapers knew no fear and no love. Prime Reaper Captain Kamerone Cree was the best of them all. The Fleet called him "the Iceman". The Resistance had noticed Cree's looks toward Dr. Bridget Dunne. With careful planning the Resistance had Cree taken to Behavioral Modification (Be-Mod 9) for "punishment". Unknown to the Empire, the doctors of Be-Mod 9 were really re-programming the Prime Reaper. That was easier said than done, for Reapers were what Terra called Vampires. A bloodbeast lived within each Reaper. They were usually merciless warriors with a high pain tolerance, but whenever one entered into Transition the beast took over. The Resistance chose Bridget as his mate. Cree and Bridget would be used to change the Empire, whether they liked it or not! ***** A lot of torture takes place within this book. Anyone who enjoys the series of STAR WARS will find themselves glued to the pages of this novel! I do not care if you are male or female! It is a Dark Fantasy novel with a touch of Romance. I practically GROWLED at anyone who made me stop reading for even a few minutes. It is THAT good! Highly recommended to ALL Fantasy and Sci-Fi fans out there! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch.

5 / 5
BloodWind is book one of the WindDemon Trilogy written by Charlotte Boyett-Compo. In one word, this book was Incredible!!!!!Captain Kamerone Cree is the highest ranking officer in the Ministry of Acquisitions. Since birth, he has been conditioned and trained to uphold the beliefs of the brutal Rysalian Empire. He, along with six others, are known as Reapers. All of them are extremely dangerous and possess the power to shapeshift into something very, very . . . lethal. None of them are more dangerous than Kamerone Cree. His savage/ruthless reputation causes men and women to flee from his presence. No one dares to confront Kamerone, fearing his wrath. He displays no emotion at all and is known as the Iceman. Whatever he wants, he gets. No questions asked. Nothing is denied him until the Tribunal questions his loyalty and decides to make an example of him. Why is his loyalty in question when it has never been before? He believes he knows who is responsible. The Resistance . . . He is ordered to the Ministry of Behavioral Modification where he undergoes cruel and brutal treatments. It is there that Dr. Bridget Dunne enters his life. Bridget is young, beautiful and a member of the Resistance. Along with her co-workers, she seeks to gain freedom from the Rysalian Empire and their only hope is to have Prime Reaper Kamerone Cree join their side. Bridget never imagines the impact he will have in her life. As he is forced to go through brutal reconditioning methods, her feelings for him begin to change. Kamerone is the most deadliest of his kind. A shapeshifting assassin that believes any emotion will leave him vulnerable. Yet, he falls very, very HARD for Bridget. He purchases her, forcing her to live with him. It is there that their feelings spiral out of control. Unknown to these two, there are darker forces at work. There are some who will stop at nothing to insure that their evil plans come to life. Kamerone Cree was the ultimate, tortured hero. He was simply to die for . . . (sigh!) He possessed such unimaginable power, a deadly force to be reckoned with if ever crossed yet he never harms Bridget. One scene comes to mind (can't give anything away). Bridget pushes Kamerone's emotions, willingly making him angry. She expects him to hurt her yet he never does. He touches her with gentleness and that soft caress is so very intimidating because it is in such contrast to the deadly fury roaring within him. Will Kamerone join the Resistance and what will he do once he discovers Bridget's part in all of it? BloodWind was worth MORE than 5 stars!! It is incredibly written. I, for one, eagerly await the continuation of Bridget and Kamerone's story in DarkWind. Run and grab yourself a copy of BloodWind. Prepare to fall in love with the deadliest of all shapeshifting assassins - Kamerone Cree. Bravo, Charlee!
