REVIEW:
What another amazing start to another great series! I am loving these paranormals I’m finding. Mages, witches, vamps, and so much more. Bad guys killing people, other bad guys using Paras for bad things, a connection with an inquisitor who seems suspicious, and a mage who is discovering more power than he thought.
All Rowan’s life is consumed with is getting another master’s degree. The youngest mage who has two now and he’s going for another. He wants to be a master. The only being that keeps him sane is his ‘packmate’, werewolf Caleb. Caleb doesn’t have a full pack, and being an alpha, it’s hard. So he and Rowen are pack together. On Rowan’s way to meet Caleb for lunch, he’s accosted by an Inquisitor who thinks he’s all that, and it’s finally figured by a man named Shaw. Shaw speaks to Rowan for a bit and a connection seems to form. Caleb is skeptical as time goes on, but with everything that’s happening, Shaw and Rowen inform Caleb what’s going on behind the scenes. Both of the stories. Caleb is of course pissed, because he almost lost Rowan, and doesn’t like the new plan to save others, but it’s the only way. All of them are terrified once this plan goes into action and that none of them will make it out alive.
Oh man, these characters are awesome as hell. This book is so good. Caleb, an alpha without a pack, except for Rowan. Rowan, a mage more powerful than he knows, but quickly learns. And Shaw who’s on a secret mission to save Paras. That’s not counting the guilds and such. They all have such distinct personalities and it was such a joy to read. Plus, it was right up my alley. Suspense, thrills, bad guys, betrayals, psycho scientists. Man, it was so good.
They are flawed as we all are, but they are all loyal to a fault and they’ve learned what they’re boundaries are. And it’s going farther than they thought. And with the way this ended, lol, oh my I’m ready to see how this next book is going to go.
You guys need to read this series.
