Merla is the prequel of demon born series authored by Alyssia Leon. It is her first attempt in paranormal and she had nailed it. I received an ARC of the book and leaving a voluntary review as I got mesmerized after reading it. This book revolves around lots of paranormal characters such as Daemon Lord, Werewolf, Lycan, Witches and Succubus.
I could say this book is a love story between an hunter and his prey. Merla is an female werewolf and talented in finding the tracks lied by Renzo , the daemon lord who hates werewolves. Merla is in run with her family as an uncharacteristic alpha wolf wants to claim her as his mate. Renzo and Merla fall for each other even before they meet eye to eye and Renzo knowing about her real identity.
This book is a page turner and the script had kept me at the edge throughout the book. This book was full of action, thrill, romance and the final twist was unexpected. The visualizations have been drafted perfectly that made me to live the moment in real. I enjoyed this book and recommending to romance book lovers over the age of 18.
PS: Waiting to read Luca’s story
Merla is the prequel to the Demon Born series of which Luca is the first book. If you follow Alyssia’s newsletter, you can read the first chapters of Luca’s story which has already captivated a lot of us. This gives background of Luca’s family.
Merla is a very rare werewolf in that she is female with a silver coat and blue eyes. All werewolves are usually male and Betas have yellow eyes and Alfas have red eyes. She is special and rare and the Alfa of the Howler pack wants her as his mate but she refuses. She wants a true mate that she loves. Therefore they have run from their home and are hidden in the Fairfall Forest.
Renzo is the Daemon Lord of the area. He wants to rid his forest of the werewolves who are poaching on his land. He has been setting up secret traps to catch them but Merla is able to detect them and dismantle them. He is fascinated and frustrated with the silver werewolf and has no idea that she is a girl.
When the two meet in human form, they are immediately attracted to each other and feel the “mate bond” but Renzo has no idea his Forest Faery is actually his silver werewolf. What will happen when all is revealed? Merla’s father is very sick and old and her brothers are not strong enough to protect her if the powerful Howler pack finds them. Will Renzo be able to help?
This book is so full of action you won’t be able to put it down once you start it! I literally sat down and finished it in one sitting! It was that good! And then you’ll be ready for the Demon Born series coming next from Alyssia. So enjoy!
I have been following this story in Ms Leon’s newsletter and have enjoyed this prequel to the series. Merla is a very rare breed of werewolf, a female. This has led to the pack escaping to Fairfall to avoid the unwanted attention of many a pack Alpha. Renzo is a Daemon and magical. The two should never mix and certainly not form a bond. Loved the mischieviousness and action of this journey to their HEA.
ONE EXTREMELY INTENSE ADVENTURE!!!
Wow! Talk about hitting the ground running. This is one action packed, fast paced, hard hitting, pulse racing, heart pounding, nailbiting, page turning bombshell that’s as riveting as it is captivating. All the twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few unexpected surprises around every corner make for remarkable experience. A whirlwind of emotions and events that really make the storyline pop. The drama, fear, danger and suspense increases steadily as the tension spirals while the plot thickens. The characters are complex and believable. The scenes are so graphically detailed it’s easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another perfectly. Written with such realism it really pulls this bad boy together beautifully. Alyssia did an amazing job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Fantastic job Alyssia, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
