Sometimes you just have to take flight.

Flight is a fun and exciting read with a fresh take in the Paranormal world. All the characters leap off the pages with their own voice and personalities.
Levi is a *drool worthy* hero who has a huge secret about what he really is. I was excited when I found out what he was. I thought of two paranormal beings he could be and was excited when he was one of them. He is arrogant with a smart mouth. He is use to getting what he wants and has no problem getting it until he meets Allie. She will not give him the time of day. This makes it a challenge and he loves a good challenge. He is persistent when he wants something and he wants Allie. He goes to great lengths to get her and keep her even does the biggest betrayal ever.
Allie has had some crappy relationships in the past. Just broke up with her boyfriend and has sworn off men. She has a plan for her future, go to Princeton, marry the right guy, get the perfect job have children and Levi does not fit into her plan. She can hold her own with Levi. She has no problem going head to head with him. Once she has learned his secret she is becoming more involved with him. They are becoming friends and slowly to lovers.
Loved how their relationship slowly builds from friends to lovers. The banter between the two are a joy to read. Levi does not do relationships, he is a one night kind of guy. He is drawn to Allie and finds he is becoming something he has never done with woman, jealous, possessive, protective and sweet. Loved how he slowly little by little became that way. They are a sweet and sexy couple together with some hot tension but for the love scene it was mild. They are getting hot and heavy but then once the bedroom scene came it starts a new chapter with her waking up in his arms. Now that she knows his secret it is not safe for her to leave so he does something so bad that she does not know if she can ever forgive him. OMG what she told towards the end broke my heart.
Loved all the secondary characters. They added so much to the story. Some funny moments with all the characters. I hope in the future novels we get more back story on them.
As for the world building I wanted a little more info on Levi and his friends. I am hoping in Focus (The Crescent Chronicles) there is more info on his secret and it gets more steamier with actual descriptive love scenes. Even without these, Flight still held my attention that I gave it 4 stars - Loved it and look forward to see where the story takes me in Focus (The Crescent Chronicles #2)
