A fast paced, dark and twisty read
I came to this story via Blaire’s World and this is a new-to-me author. I enjoyed her writing style and soon found myself caught up in ‘Sera’ and Galeno’s story. This isn’t a pitch black read, since the darkness isn’t in the relationship but rather events that occur. However there are still some very intense moments and violent acts that we don’t always witness first hand. It’s length puts it right on the novella/novel border, and whilst I personally would have liked a little more depth in a few scenes it was still a very well executed story.
This is one of those books where information is slowly released as the plot progresses. Whilst this left me a little puzzled at first as to what was happening I did like it. Particularly as ‘Sera’ is similarly confused at the out of control circumstances surrounding her, so it really allowed me to empathise with her position. I really loved the character of Sera, life has dealt her a fairly crappy hand, so it was good to see Galeno changing that. I didn’t feel as though I knew him quite as well, but he was still a rounded character and easy to believe in.
You don’t need to have read any of the other Blaire books, this truly does read as a stand alone. I’m happy to recommend it to those that like and edge of darkness in their books and I will definitely look out for more work by this author.
Wow another brilliant insight into Blaire’s World this time with Serafina and Galeno, Galeno runs the Los Zetas operation in Canada and Serafina is a broken and damaged assassin. The relationship between these two is smoking, even though Serafina is damaged, broken, untrusting and adrift with what has happened to her she can still feel and that in some ways is harder to deal with than the years of conditioning that she has lived. Plenty of angst and the HEA that I like, also felt there was another story brewing with Galeno’s sister Elena and Lucero loved it five stonking stars from me enjoy!
You know sometimes you read a book and it’s great and you love it and you move on to another book. Although, Sometimes you read a book that consumes you and stays with you long after your done reading… this is one of those books.
I wasn’t sure what I was walking into but I had no idea i would be at the edge of my seat the entire time! My heart was racing I couldn’t put it down! I had to read it all in one sitting, I didn’t wanna miss anything because I felt like if I blinked I would.
This story had me hooked from the very beginning. I can honestly say I feel like I could totally relate to Sera in my own special way because it was so real. The author paints an incredible picture with this story with so much detail. Serafina was so emotional, so raw and powerful that I felt what was happening in my soul.
There were a couple really funny lines but I highly recommend this intense hot book if you want a heart stopping, gut wrenching, beautifully powerful story of healing and love that you just can’t put down.
As a spy, Sera goes where she is told…becomes who she needs to be and doesn’t ask questions…until she is the one that’s taken. Can she escape or will her new captor be more than she bargained for? Galeno is the leader of the Los Zetos cartel. He is an enigma to Sera but one she isn’t sure she can trust. This was such a great book from the very beginning you are hooked! If you like dark romance you will enjoy this one!
ღ Serafina has spent her life doing someone else’s bidding. At 10 years old she committed her 1st murder, & for the following 10 years old she did only what she was told do … nothing more nothing less. She was spy, she was killer, she was his whore need be
Somewhere along the way he betrayed. He sent her on a mission unprepared, she went blindly & willingly, Cuz she had once trusted him
– when she taken by one of their enemies & tortured. Now she finds herself in a stranger home & she don’t if he is her new found enemy or new found Savior
Honestly, I felt like this book had so much potential, but it was lacking so much for my satisfaction… There is no way that I can truly say this is a Dark read in my opinion… The story was left a bit unresolved which makes think there might be a part 2.Mind you I believe this author has so very great writing skills even after saying all that
———– Happy Reading ———–
Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion & my honest review Also I wouldn’t discourage anyone from reading it.
I think that I might try Kristoff: Measha Stone
next in BLAIRE’S WORLD…. I’m still willing to give this series another chance …Wish me luck
Paulette Review
Absolutely riveting! Loved this book. It captivated me from the very first page and kept me flipping the pages until the very end. This is a dark, thrilling, gripping read and I definitely recommend you read it for yourself.
This is my first book reading by this author which I really did enjoy this book.. It was hot and heart pounding at the same time.. Must read
Readers beware that this is a dark read that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Olvidado aka Forgotten, was taken as a small child. She was abused, brainwashed, and trained by her Master Jorge to be a spy and killer. Olvidado is rescued by Galeno when she is taken during a failed trip to Canada. Galeno sees something in Olvidado and wants to help set her free from the abuse and the brainwashing that her Master has done over the years. With the setting free, Galeno changes her name to Serafina because she is not forgotten. Serafina is a strong woman who has endured many physical and emotional abuses. She is one bad a$$ woman. I will be reading more from the author.
What a dark read. This is a good book but I couldn’t get in to this as fast. Had to keep coming back to this book after read a different book in this series’s. It is a very dark twisted read.
Blaire’s World: Serafina
I have enjoyed this series and this book especially. Imagine Mission Impossible’s spy Ethan meets Underworld’s Kate Beckinsale with the main character as female. Serafina (aka Rune) is a bada$$ spy for Jorge, an undisclosed crime lord since she was 10 years old. She endures a lot of violence as a spy & assassin yet remains a virgin. However her latest assignment is different from the previous 10 years of servitude. This clues her in (premonition/suspects) on something nefarious about to happen to her. Only to be rescued by Galeno, Decena’s cousin & proxy boss for the Toronto Los Zetas. Short story. Constant action. There is no real timeline within Blaire’s World of when this takes place. So no chronological order in reading is necessary. Well written and again a really good read.
Serafina was taken when she was young and trained to fight, withstand pain, kill and be a submissive sex slave. When she is sold by her master sells her she ends up getting saved by Galeno and she’s not sure what to make of him. The writing is beautiful, the well developed characters are strong and the storyline is perfect. This is an intense, raw, gritty story and a great addition to the Blaire’s World series.
The book is well written, but it felt like it too me too long to get into the story. I did like the story once I got into it I did enjoy it.
Serafina was raised to be an obedient killer. She’s never known kindness or the gentle touch of love. Galeno may be a hardened criminal in a dark world, but he sees something in Sera that no one else does, and they’re drawn to each other like moths to a flame. I loved the various emotions this book brought out – sadness and fear, yet strength, love and compassion. I loved this awesome book!
I liked this book, she is a new author to me and will be looking for more from her.
What can I say about Serafina because HOLY HADES she is one kick arse heroine that had me on the edge of my seat wondering where this story was going to go and where it took me was a place I need more of. I need more of Serafina and her kick arse attitude just wanting to be loved and have something more than she does but not getting it because she is looked at like she is nothing. She is considered the forgotten one but holy hell when Galeno enters the picture shiz hetas up and I need more Galeno because he is fierce and loyal to those he loves.
Be warned this is a dark book, with dark elements. It may have triggers for some. If you don’t think you can handle that this may not be for you. Otherwise, keep on, keeping on, because this series of Blair’s World books are so freaking good.
In this, she is in retrospect a chameleon. Since she was a child she was trained to be a spy. To get into somewhere, learn their secrets, use it against them, and kill if necessary. She doesn’t even have a name. If caught and asked, she has one responce. Olvadido. Forgotten.
Galeno. Oh my Gods, Galeno. Oh he is a mystery in the beginning. We don’t know who he is, where he’s from, or what he wants. Other than her of course. He seems to be working his own agenda. She has no name other than Olvadido, so he gives her one. Serafina. Angel.
I love these two together. They fit like two sides of a coin. She finds something so intrinsic in him, that allows her to heal what’s been done to her over the years. And there’s something in her, that allows him to just, be. Him as he is, and not who he is connected to. Another amazing book from the Blair’s World series. Loved it.
Serafina by Skye Callahan, another gripping read in the Blaire’s World series.
Serafina has always known who she was supposed to be, what her job was, until she is sent to Toronto with nothing but a name. She wakes up in a house, confused with no recollection of how she got there but free to leave whenever she likes.
Galeno is part of the cartel, he should be trying to get information from her but theres something about Sera that grabs his attention. All he wants to do is help her and care for her. If only Sera would let her guard down and trust him.
Not as dark as other reads in this series but it got my attention right from the start. An interesting storyline which intrigued me and kept me reading. Not forgetting the underlying chemistry between Sera and Galeno. I feel like there could be more to this story, I hope so anyway so I’ll be keeping a look out for more.
Serafina is a great story branching from the Blair series. This story is about a young girl who became a soldier for Jorge. He broke and trained her and sent her on a mission with no information.
Serafina has to figure out what her “job” is and everything goes wrong from there.
A great story with a lot of action and sexual innuendo.
Serafina is my first read by Skye Callahan and this book is a must read. You definitely need to have this baby in your library. You will neither regret reading this book nor be disappointed. From the very first page till the end this book takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride full of emotions. From having mixed feelings about the characters till curiosity to know more, this book contains all the elements to grab the attention of the reader
An amazing book by a first time author for me. Kick ass heroine, who’s character is painted so vividly it is like watching a movie in your head. Highly enjoyable!
