Review

I love books that I can give to my 13 year old son.  He reads voraciously and it’s difficult to keep him in books.  This one was perfect for him as several of the heroes were men, in addition it was entertaining enough to keep me interested (an important point as I try to read most, if not all, that he reads).

Magic in the real world is the premise of this book.  I love the idea and it is well written. It is also about friendship, true undying friendship between people who care deeply about each other.  I cannot wait to read more by this author, and hope to read more about Lucas and his friends.

I give this book 5 out of 5 clouds.

Excerpt:

A thought came into my head and I turned, pinning Rafael with a please don’t mess with me right now…or I’ll rip your heart out stare. I said, “When we first met, you said we knew one another that you were with me when I was little, that we’ve always known one another…always…l-l-oved one another…” I quickly tuned out the others in the room, not wishing to focus on the reactions of the others…although I did catch the big smile from Elin; an incurable romantic it seemed. I knew this should have been a private conversation, but deep down I felt Rafael knew what was happening; I wanted to know what he knew…

He looked at me, with one of those intense, smoldering I’m a hot guy, and I really know what this look is doing to you stare…but I wasn’t going to allow it to affect me. I simply held his gaze in a stable, strong manner…and hoped I didn’t look like a deer in the headlights… he sighed and said, “Do you really want to talk about this here?” Rafael looked at me intently, leaning forward, resting his forearms on his knees…hands pressed together in the steeple formation that everyone uses to signify they are deep in thought.

I said quietly, “Yes.” He looked at me again, and I swear, if he didn’t stop looking at me that way, I would completely forget what we were talking about. He stood up, and crossed the room and came to stand in front of me—did I happen to mention how close he was? Well, enough that I felt a little uncomfortable, but I wouldn’t step back, and I refocused. I needed to hear what he had to say.

“I knew you because I am ThunderKin; yes, I knew who you were and what this meant in the war coming Samhain…”

“Okay,” I said trying to digest that here stood one of the legendary Thunderbirds…I saw how his eyes glowed, now appearing that unearthly golden hue; a worried expression passed over his features, and I wondered what worried him. I said, “And the rest about knowing me?”

“I knew you because…” he said as he reached out, placed his hand on the side of my face, and leaned in close, lips almost touching. He whispered, “I knew you because you are my destiny…my mate.”

Really can you believe this?

Review

This book is great.  I loved the background story for how vampires came to exist.  The folklore was great.  I always love a story that has unique background to a familiar story.

I did not read book one in this series, however it did not impact my ability to enjoy and follow the story in this book, the second, in the trilogy.  Now that I have read one of the books, I look forward to reading both book 3 and book 1.

I give this story 4 out of 5 clouds.
