Lock and Key by Clara Coulson is an amazing story that I have read. This is book number one in this amazing series that I can not wait to read the next book cause I am so in love with this series already. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about thrillers and fantasy.

Supernatural creatures exist, but not everyone is willing to just get along. Our heroine was held captive and experimented on by a mysterious organization. One that is now hunting her and our hero has been dragged into the conflict.
This is the start of an urban fantasy series and it starts with a wallop. The story is well written, easy to read and packed with intrigue and action from the start. Our characters are well developed for what we see, but there is clearly much more to them than meets the eye. Something I definitely look forward to exploring in more depth in future books. Similarly, we get a glimpse of the world they live in, but at this point there are more questions than answers. But the plot is very engaging and I find I want to explore those mysterious, so sign me up for the next book.
Highly recommended.

Very interesting new series. It was fun to unravel the mysteries of Liam and Kat and can honestly say I can’t wait for the next book! Definitely recommend!
This is my first book by Clara Coulson and hot dang, i was hooked with in the first chapter. Kat King is running for her life, a life she doesn’t remember before two years prior when Advent 9 started experimenting on her. With her last shreds of hope starting to unravel she meets Liam Crown. A former detective with a drinking problem to burry the trauma of his past. The two of them balance each other so well!
This story was written with the skill of grasping your full attention with characters that entrance you. It’s action packed and leaves you with so many questions begging for more.
In a world that is changing full of Magic’s and supernaturals I can’t wait to dive into the next segment!
Kat and Liam take the mayhem that has shaped them as their respective worlds fell apart, work together in an unlikely alliance, and blow obstacles out of their way – along with blowing your mind with crazy action and multi-layered characters.
Their wounds and their pasts make them different, yet uniquely powerful in their own ways.
Intense action and adventure.
When does the next one come out?
I have read just about every book by this author except this one, and I was excited to find out she had rewritten and reissued this one. I dived right in once I had some time and started reading. This is a little different than the others I’ve read by this author, but it’s still just as good. Liam and Kat are such interesting characters, and we don’t know much about Kat’s past, nothing at all really, which I am so intrigued about. Liam is a nice guy that had been spiraling after the death of his family which he can’t remember. There is just so much to learn about them that we don’t know, and I’m itching to find out. I’m so glad the next book comes out soon. I liked the plot, but it did have something I don’t particularly like, but that’s on me not the author. Well-written, intriguing plot and great characters that you need to find out about. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
