That ending!!! Talk about a cliffhanger, but I guess you have to do that sometimes. I have to get the second book to continue on and see what is going to happen.
I thought this book was pretty awesome. Now Koa could get a little whiny at times, which she shouldn't do because she's a kick-butt heroine :)
I might have to put in a few *SPOILERS* to explain a few things.

Dump me right into the action and I will get caught up in whatever world you have created, no matter how bizarre or preposterous.
Narrate too much, and you will lose me, no matter how creative the plot may be.
K.N. Lee’s Netherworld: the Chronicles of Koa opens with a bloody sword fight in her living room. Is it weird that Koa can stand on the ceiling? Of course. But you picked up a urban fantasy/paranormal book, not Emma. The strange and inexplicable had better be part of the story!

Koa is a young woman that's a hybrid, meaning she can survive off of a mixture of blood and food. Koa struggles to be around people and keep her inner vampire in check, which makes kicking demon arse the perfect job for her. Did I mention she wields a sword? Yes, it's very cool. The fight scenes are pretty awesome. Besides her job, she enjoys spending time with her cursed mother (bummer right?), watching movies, and crushing on her angelic boss.

Koa is a young woman living near Paris; she likes popcorn and movies, reading Jane Austen, and spending time with her cat. Oh yes, and she's a vampire (or half-vamp, anyways) who hunts creatures of the Netherworld for a living, and has a boss/best-friend that is sinfully good-looking and too good to be true.

After reading the first couple chapters online I knew I had to read more about Koa! The author has created a engrossing world with vampires, angels and other mythical creatures. And not just any mythical creatures, her creations were.. awesome! I could really see this being a movie with all the action and amazing imaginary.

The Chronicles of Koa: Netherworld is the debut novel of K.N. Lee. The story follows Koa, a mysterious hybrid vampire who thirsts for blood, but can walk in the daylight and fly. Yes, I said fly. Due to circumstances that are unknown to us at the beginning of the book, Koa is special, not only because of her power of flight, but because she is wanted by creatures of the Netherworld. As you read this book, you'll be entertained and thrown from left to right with the various revelations and plot t..more

A fantasy adventure, a coming of age vampire story, an epic storyline with a twist…Sounds like a great combination, and it is. The Chronicles of Koa is a wonderful story full of likeable characters, a clear world, and a fun mission. Koa, a headstrong, willful girl captures you immediately. Her desire to return to the netherworld, uncertain of the dangers, and her reckless behavior leadyou on an adventure…an adventure to find the key to her past, and possibly a key to her future.

The Chronicles of Koa: Netherworld is another dark fantasy heroine story that doesn't do anything new to the genre. However, it does provide for an enjoyable read and has some good--though few and far between--action sequences.

Netherworld (The Chronicles of Koa 1) has a new take on the vampire origin and takes place in the human realm, as well as the Netherworld where all manner of creatures live.

Netherworld is a darkly intense of a young woman with a huge chunk of her past missing. She simply cannot remember most of her teen years and she doesn't understand why. Her best friend, Halston, holds the key to the truth but is reluctant to reveal it because he knows it will put her life in danger. Until the day comes and the truth can no longer be hidden. What waits for Koa on the other side of the Netherworld Gate will shake the very foundation of all she believes.

Unforgettable characters and stunning world building make this dark fantasy a powerful and moving read. Koa is a strong heroine, a nice change in this genre. A large part of her memory is gone and her friend Halston, a fallen angel, knows something about it. Their journey together is filled with conflict and adventure. It’s a wonderfully crafted plot that kept me engrossed. I would definitely read on.

More quotes…All right, so I'll do my best to explain why we were so 'quiet' for so much time.
As a matter of fact, there is only one group that ever made a complete modification of Neverwinter Nights with a Star Wars Roleplay setting, or in other words, a modification that added not only blasters, lightsabers and scenarios, but also space battles, rulebooks, classes, visual effects, audio effects, clothing pieces, animations and so much more.
And that team is the Dark time of The Galaxy Team. All credits for the content here go to them or to the also well known D20 Modern Team.
Well, with so much content, it is nearly unfeasible to recreate so much without months, maybe years, of preparation and THEN we would do our best to produce custom content. So, I entered in contact with their leader. We talked and agreed to have this content made available to my team under the condition that we credit his team. Well, such negotiations, that were thankfully non-aggressive, are over. Skyrim furry race mod. Now, we will resume the progress of this mod.
If any of you ever desires to comment on our work, express a suggestion or become involved in this mod in any way, don't hesitate to contact me, Also_known_as_Peter.
I thank you all for your patience and expect more than just a few updates. Expect a technology demo very soon.
