Lovely book from Dianne Sylvan
I really enjoy reading Dianne Sylvan's books. Her characters are intricate and have so many underlying layers. Though she is writing in the paranormal romance area, this layering makes her characters very real. I can see the similarities between the Agency books and her vampire novels, but there's definitely enough new here to make these books worth reading. I really liked the sweet intimacy between Sara and Rowan even as Jason and Rowan are starting to learn of each other's feelings, and the relationship between Jason and Rowan is very hot and emotionally complex. I encourage Sylvan to continue with these stories even though her full-length Shadow World books seem to be her main romance novel work.

Filler til the next Shadow World
I bought all through in this series because I love her Shadow World series, and I need something until the next one comes out. These are from before the other series, not as pulled together, but I still like the characters, and the flow is good. They feel like they are practice for the Shadow World series, but not as pulled together. I feel like she was not as sure in who the main characters are, they kind of jump around. Enjoyable, still a good read, just don't expect the level that the Shadow World is written at.

Just found this series
I love the Shadowbound series. Was looking for a new book to read and discovered the agency. Since Dianne Sylvan is on my favorite authors list I knew I wouldn't regret acquiring all of the volumes at the same time.LOVE the first volume. The story drew me in. It held my attention. There was just enough descriptive information without overwhelming the story and causing me to skip through the prose. I highly recommend this first volume. I'm off to read volume II.

Pleasantly surprised
I bought this because I love Sylvan. I was curious to see what her early work was like. When I discovered it was written as a group of stories I was a little disappointed but not for long. The Agency is a great edition to her work: entertaining, engaging and exciting. I am so glad I bought it.

Sarah is My Hero
Right off I liked this book. Sara sounds like an ordinary woman. Great sense of humor. SA7 & his sister SA5 are vampires working for the Shadow Agency. The agency that deals with all the ocults and creatures from myths. Someone has created a drug that does a lot more than give a a person a high.

Really addictive story
I came across this book by chance and was blown away. The book was addictive and the plot was great. I loved reading through Sara's introduction to the Agency and all the main players within it. I am a huge fan of the La Femme Nikita TV series and this story was a little like a supernatural version of Section One which is awesome! I've read the next 3 books in the series and have thoroughly enjoyed them too.

Excellent read!
I'm a fan of Dianne Sylvan's Queen of Shadows so, in an effort to stave off withdrawal, I snatched this up. I was not disappointed. The story moves well, and I really like Sara. Of course, there are other characters to love here as well. One hallmark of Ms. Sylvan's is her ability to write characters that you really want to get to know better. All in all, a fantastic read, an I can't wait for more.

Not as polished but still good
I love the Shadow World series so I thought I'd check out the other works by Dianne Sylvan. This isn't as polished but just as brilliant. A bit slow in parts but overall a very good read.

Loved it!
I've read Dianne's other work - from her non-fiction The Body Sacred and The Circle within to her fictional series about the Shadow World.As usual, she drew me right into her world and I couldn't put the book down - desperately stealing time at work while waiting for the kettle to boil / printer to finish to read some more. The characters are well-rounded, the world believable and as I've come to know from her books, the character's narrative can be hilarious.Five stars.

lots of fun!
I came to Diane Sylvan's work through her non-fiction works. Her voice is wise, approachable and mixed with smart-ass. Her Agency series kicked the smart-ass up a notch and I loved it. Really Entertaining and fun. I am looking forward to purchasing the next one!
