Hi there!! Long time no see. I’ve been around diving into my other hobbies, but I’ve managed to finish two books since my last review.
One is a by Robert Zelazny, but that one’s not the focus of this entry. It’s not paranormal so, I am gonna start with a book that just came out this year, February specifically. And the best part? It’s a book one in the series to you can totally use this review. So what’s what? Okay, here goes:
Jennifer Lyon has brought us…….hunters. Ummm, that’s been done. Yeah it has been done in one way, but let me tell you this, Queen Kenyon doesn’t own the rights to the idea of “hunters” any more than she does to the Gods she uses in her story. But, that doesn’t really matter because in truth, if you like Kenyon you’ll probably like Lyon.
So it involved hunters. Wing Slayers to be exact. These are dudes created to protect witches. And they did this for a while until some of the witches began serving demons thus becoming demon witches. These witches decided to bind the Wing Slayer hunters to them as familiar, but all hell broke loose and what occurred was a curse.
Witches could no longer obtain familiars and hunters craved the blood of witches. In the mess, earth witches basically lost half their powers and half their souls. The hunters lost have their soles too, but they could lose it entirely if they gave into their blood lust and killed a witch.
Phew!!!! That’s a lot to digest and hell there is more. I just told you the basic premise of Lyon’s world, not the plot of the book. Want to hear about that?
Sure you do.
There’s this chick Darcy, an adopted daughter who always felt like an outcast. Her adoptive father thought she was evil, her adoptive mother tried to protect her but was often sick. Darcy has lived most of her life trying to prove her self to her father, but to no avail….
That sounds kind of boring huh? You know, it some ways it is, but we all want our heroes and heroines to overcome something, right? Everybody has shit poured on them. We like it best when those very people come out shining.
Oh ew,
Anyway, you see what I’m getting at. So Darcy’s adoptive mother dies and that’s when all hell starts breaking loose. Darcy is kidnapped and learns she is a which that has rouge witch hunters out to kill her. But that’s not even the terrifying part.
The very man who kidnapped her, Axel, is a hunter, who craves her blood. But that’s only part of the problem….
I have to toss in another “phew” here. This plot has a lot of layers and much is tossed out at the reader. I will tell you this though, there’s tons of action, drama, love, hate, sorrow and joy. The book is definitely a bangin’ start to a whole new series involving witches, demons, and gods. It’s a very, very tasty adventure all wrapped up in one current goal, saving the life of a special little girl, Axels’ little sister.
So nab it, read it, get hooked on a very well written, well rounded, story. I’m glad the cover caught my eye.
